Scale selector
Our digital printing service allows you to customise the scales shown on our oval flat range of scale rulers for no extra charge (150mm and 300mm). This basically means you can select which scale goes on which edge. This is only available on orders that are digitally printed (which means they're printed in full colour) and it includes the Rulex range.
The most popular scales are Architectural:
Side 1 - 1:1, 1:100 & 1:20, 1:200.
Side 2 - 1:5, 1:50 & 1:1250, 1:2500
Other popular sets of scales include the following. You’re welcome to use these, cherry pick the scales you want or come up with something completely different:
Mechanical Engineering: Side 1 - 1:1, 1:2 Side 2 - 1:5, 1:10
Civil Engineering: Side 1 - 1:5, 1:50 & 1:10, 1:100 Side 2 - 1:20, 1:200 & 1:500, 1:1000
Imperial: Side 1 - 1/8", 1/4" & 1/2", 1" = 1 ft Side 2 - 3/8", 3/4" & 1 1/2", 3" = 1ft
Our range of promotional triangular scale rulers can also be customised with your choice of scales.
Again it's just the digitally printed orders (those printed in full colour), but with triangular scale rulers there is a small surcharge for customising the scales.

Side 1 - 1:1, 1:10 & 1:2, 1:20
Side 2 - 1:5, 1:50 & 1:100, 1:200
Side 3 - 1:500, 1:1000 & 1:1250, 1:2500
Other popular scales are (once again, you're welcome to use these, or specify your own):
