Care Precautions Surface Care: Avoid using the ruler as a scraper or lever, as this can nick the edge and affect your drawing accuracy.

Storage: While flexible, it is best stored flat in a file or upright in a pencil bag to maintain its perfectly straight edge. Frequently Asked Questions What does ""shatterproof"" actually mean? It means the plastic is designed to bend significantly before failure. If it does eventually break, it will not shatter into dangerous, sharp pieces. Quick Stationery Hack: The ""Non-Slip"" Grip If you find your ruler sliding around while you're drawing long lines, wrap two small elastic bands around either end of the ruler. The rubber provides instant friction against the paper, giving you a ""pro-level"" grip that prevents the ruler from shifting midway through a perfect line.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are they "sticky" plastic? No, these are "non-copy-transfer" sleeves, meaning your printed documents won't stick to the plastic over time.

Warnings
  • Handle with care to prevent injury; the ruler is designed to be shatterproof but excessive force or misuse could still result in damage or sharp edges.
  • Avoid placing the ruler in direct sunlight or near heat sources for prolonged periods; extreme temperatures may cause the material to warp or degrade over time, affecting accuracy and durability.
  • Keep out of reach of small children; although shatterproof, small parts or broken sections could present a choking hazard if the ruler is severely damaged.
  • Do not use with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners; these substances could react with the ruler's material, leading to discolouration, surface degradation, or a loss of transparency.
  • Inspect the ruler periodically for any signs of wear or damage before use; continued use of a compromised ruler might lead to inaccurate measurements or further material failure.
