Description
This mini tape measure packs a 10 ft. tape into a round polystyrene case small enough to carry in a pocket or tool pouch. A retracting mechanism pulls the tape back into the housing after each measurement, so the blade stays contained between uses.
The round case gives your artwork a curved surface to sit on. Pad printing lays down a thin, opaque spot-color ink that conforms to that contour, holding fine lines and small text with crisp edges. Full Color decoration is also available for photographic or gradient artwork.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your imprint is pad printed onto the round case of the tape measure. Pad printing uses a flexible pad that conforms to the curved surface, laying down a thin, opaque spot-color ink that holds fine lines and small text with crisp edges. Full Color decoration is also available when your artwork calls for photographs, gradients, or unlimited colors.
Pad PrintFull-color imprint · 1 location included · one-time setup $60.00
Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, flexing into curves, angles, and recessed areas flat application can't follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges — each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid, holding evenly on contoured or darker surfaces; cured ink resists everyday wear.
Full Colorno setup charge · Full color
The supplier lists this decoration only as full color, so the one thing it establishes is coloration: the artwork carries as many colors as it needs — photographs, gradients, blends, and dense multi-color detail — rather than a counted set of solid inks, and there is no color count to choose. How the color reaches the item (direct print, transfer, decal, or sublimation) is the supplier's choice for this product and is not stated in their data, so surface feel, finish, and durability follow that process rather than this label.

From our decoration and product guides
- What is pad printing and what does it look like?
- Pad printing (tampography) transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the item, so the pad flexes into curves, angles and recessed areas that a flat application cannot follow. The result is a thin, nearly flush ink layer with well-defined edges. Each color prints as an opaque spot-ink solid that holds evenly on contoured or darker surfaces, and the cured ink resists everyday wear. More about Pad Printed →
- When should I choose pad printing over screen printing?
- When the artwork has fine lines, small text or tight detail that must stay sharp on a contoured or uneven surface, such as a pen barrel or a curved drinkware wall. The conforming pad holds crisp edges where flat methods cannot reach. Pad printing suits fine detail better than flooding large areas, so for broad solid fills, photographs or gradients look at screen printing or a full-color process instead. More about Pad Printed →
- Where are your products made?
- The Origin row in each product's Specifications states where the item is manufactured: it reads Made in a named country for US, Canadian, UK, Swiss and European origins, and Imported, decorated in USA when the blank comes from elsewhere and is decorated domestically. Products manufactured in the United States are also collected in the USA Made category. More about USA-made products →
