Sustainable Branded Tape Measures

Practical branded tape measures and measuring tools, from 1m to 5m retractable tapes to rulers, levels and lasers, many in recycled ABS, recycled plastic or bamboo.

Branded tape measures and measuring tools that earn their place

Tape measures are a rare promotional item people genuinely keep, which puts your logo on the desk, in the toolbox or on site in construction, surveying, property and DIY for years rather than a week. This range covers retractable tape measures from 1m to 5m, soft tailor's tapes, rulers, spirit levels and laser distance measures, so you can match the giveaway to the audience, whether that is a trade show, a property launch, a hardware brand or a sewing and craft event.

Materials and what makes them sustainable

A good number of these tape measures and tools use recycled material rather than virgin plastic, and we flag the recycled content on each product. You will find casings in recycled ABS and recycled plastic, bamboo bodies, and aluminium and wood options where a more premium feel is wanted. We describe the specific material on each product rather than labelling the whole category "eco", so you can choose on the recycled content that actually applies. Standard ABS tape measures remain the most popular and lowest-cost option if budget leads the brief.

Branding and decoration

Most tape measures are decorated by pad print, which suits the curved casing, with doming for a raised full-colour badge and laser engraving on bamboo, aluminium and wood for a clean, ink-free mark. Digital and printed labels allow full-colour artwork on flatter faces. Print area, colour count and the best method vary by model and are shown on each product.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes of branded tape measure are available?+

The range runs from compact 1m and 2m pocket and tailor's tapes up to 3m and 5m retractable builder's tapes. There are also rulers, spirit levels and laser distance measures, so you can pick the right tool for an office giveaway, a trade event or a hardware audience.

What makes a tape measure sustainable?+

On these products it is the material. Many casings are made from recycled ABS or recycled plastic instead of virgin plastic, and others use bamboo, aluminium or wood. We list the specific material on each product, so you can choose on the recycled or renewable content that actually applies rather than a vague eco label.

Can tape measures and measuring tools be printed with a logo?+

Yes. Every item in this range can be branded with your logo or message. The casing carries your branding and stays in use for years, which is why tape measures are one of the more memorable practical giveaways.

How are branded tape measures decorated?+

Pad print is the most common method and suits the curved casing. Doming adds a raised, full-colour badge, laser engraving gives a clean ink-free mark on bamboo, aluminium and wood, and digital or printed labels allow full-colour artwork. The available print area and best method are shown on each product.

What is the minimum order quantity?+

Minimum order quantities vary by product and decoration method. The minimum and the price breaks for larger runs are shown on each product page, and we will confirm the exact figure for your chosen item and branding when we quote.

How long do branded measuring tools take to deliver?+

Lead time depends on the product, the decoration method and the quantity. We confirm the production and delivery time for your specific order at the quote stage, so you have a firm date before you commit.
