Acme - 12 in. Plastic Ruler

12 in. Plastic Ruler

Measure and mark with crisp 1/16" precision on every project

Beveled edges matter more than most artists realize. When a ruler sits flat against paper, ink from technical pens or fine markers can wick underneath and blur your line. Acme's beveled design lifts the measuring edge slightly off the surface, creating that crucial gap that keeps lines crisp and clean. Bold graduations mark both sixteenth-inch increments and metric measurements along opposite edges, eliminating the need to flip between rulers mid-project.

Rigid plastic construction resists warping and maintains accuracy through repeated use, from studio layouts to mat cutting guides. The integrated pencil groove runs the length of the ruler, providing a secure channel for drawing implements and preventing the frustrating roll-off that interrupts your workflow. At twelve inches, this ruler handles standard page layouts and common cutting tasks without the unwieldy length that makes storage awkward.

Colors arrive randomly, solid primaries or transparent jewel tones, adding a practical element of visual organization to your tool collection. The transparent options let you see registration marks and underlying sketches while measuring, particularly useful for alignment work and technical illustration.
