Collection: Tape Measures

Tape measures at Office Goods Australia cover two different jobs. Sewing and fitting need a tape that bends around a shoulder or a waist. Rooms, furniture and joinery need a steel rule that stays rigid when it is extended and locks where you stop it.

What You'll Find in This Collection

Retractable soft tape measures at 1.5m wind back into a case so they do not end up tangled at the bottom of a sewing basket. Soft tailor tape measures are the classic flexible strip used for body measuring, dressmaking and alterations. Automatic telescopic tape measures are designed for taking your own body measurements without a second person holding the other end, which is the part that usually makes self-measuring inaccurate. Steel measuring tape rules with a lock and rubber grip handle rooms, desks and shelving, where the blade has to stay straight across a gap and hold its position while you read it.

Who Is This For?

This collection suits dressmakers and alteration shops, people fitting clothes at home, offices planning desk and shelving layouts, and tradespeople needing a spare rule. Sewing groups across Australia buy the soft tapes in quantity.
