Midori Folding Ruler Silver

The Midori folding aluminium ruler is a precision tool that collapses to 15 cm and extends to a measuring length of 30 cm when unfolded. The scale is laser-engraved directly into the aluminium – the markings sit flush with the surface and will never flake or wear away. At the central hinge axis, an angle measurement function in 15-degree increments transforms the ruler into a multifunctional tool.

Features

• Laser-engraved scale: The millimetre markings are worked directly into the aluminium – deep, sharp lines that produce no offset when using a blade edge and won't wear out even with intensive use.
• Folding mechanism 2 × 15 cm: Folded down to 15 cm long and 4.5 mm deep, the ruler fits into any pencil case, pen pouch or shirt pocket – unfolded, the full 30 cm is at your disposal.
• Craft knife-ready: The aluminium edge is stable enough to serve as a cutting guide for a craft knife – no cutting in, no bending under pressure.
• Angle measurement at the hinge axis: The central axis displays angles in 15-degree increments – practical for angled cuts, layouts or technical sketches.
• Silver-coloured aluminium: The matte, cool surfaces of both halves feel grippy and lightweight – the ruler sits securely in your hand without slipping.
• Made in Japan: Precision-engineered markings and hinge mechanism to Japanese manufacturing standards.

Use & Tips

• Cutting and sketching: The aluminium edge withstands craft knives – for clean, straight cuts through paper, card or thin bookbinding materials without frayed edges.
• On the go and in daily use: Folded up, the ruler disappears into your pencil case – unfolded, it's a ready-to-use 30 cm ruler. No separate case needed.
• Angled cuts and angle layouts: The angle measurement at the axis allows you to quickly set standard angles (30°, 45°, 60° etc.) directly while working.
• Journalling and planning: For straight dividing lines, grids or tables in your notebook – the engraved scale starts precisely at the edge with no dead space.
• Calligraphy and lettering: As an aid for ruling paper before writing or for measuring out consistent line spacing.

For office supplies and tool enthusiasts

Laser engraving works with an accuracy that clearly surpasses stamped or printed scales: the lines are perfectly placed, have defined width and no print offset. The metal hinge – not plastic – holds the ruler in both positions (folded and unfolded) without play. The product measurements when closed: 29 × 159 × 4.5 mm; when open: 18.5 × 310 × 4.5 mm.
