Overview

The Westcott 16024 Jeweltone Purple Plastic Ruler is a 12-inch measuring tool designed with everyday durability in mind. Made from flexible, shatterproof plastic, it can withstand being bent, twisted, and stuffed into bags without losing its shape—making it a practical choice for students, teachers, and office workers who need a ruler that holds up to daily use. The translucent jeweltone purple material adds a pop of color to any desk while allowing users to see through the ruler to the page below, which is useful for lining up measurements with existing text or markings.

The ruler features dual measurement scales, with imperial markings graduated to 1/16th of an inch and metric markings on the opposite edge, covering the most common measurement needs in a single tool. A hang hole at one end allows for easy wall or pegboard storage, keeping it accessible and off the desk when not in use. At 12 inches in length, it covers standard paper sizes and is compact enough to fit in pencil cases, desk drawers, and binders without difficulty.
