1" x 25'

2-in-1 Contractor-Grade Vertical-Read Tape Measure

The new JC Manufacturing 1" x 25' 2-in-1 Contractor-Grade Tape Measure is built for real jobsite use and designed to give contractors two powerful reading systems in one rugged tool.

The front of the blade features bold, easy-read inch markings for fast, accurate measuring, including 5/8" roofer marks, 16" stud markers, and 19.2" truss/joist marks along the length of the blade.

The back of the blade is where this tape measure really stands out. It features jumbo vertical-read numbers printed in the direction contractors actually measure when reading height. When the tape is hooked onto a rafter, wall frame, opening, or vertical surface, the numbers are easier to see, easier to read, and faster to use.

Built with a rugged rubberized black-on-black case, this tape measure also includes a double-sided hook, three-rivet tip, stainless steel bottom plate, and a blade that stands out horizontally to 7'6" for real jobsite reach.

For dealers, this product is more than a tape measure. It is a logo-branded business tool.

JC Manufacturing can provide a premium 3-D dome label with your company name, logo, phone number, website, QR code, branch information, or Pro Rewards message. Every time a contractor clips it on his belt, keeps it in his truck, or uses it on the jobsite, your company name stays in front of him.

The tape measure is also Pro Rewards ready, turning a contractor-grade tool into a repeat-business product that helps bring customers back to your store.

Available in ready-to-sell 12-unit point-of-purchase counter displays, this dealer-only program is designed for contractor counters, cash registers, will-call areas, pickup desks, and other high-traffic selling locations.

Factory direct. Logo branded. Pro Rewards ready. Built for professionals. Built to sell.

Dome Labels: Raised, Protected, Professional

A dome label is not an ordinary sticker. It is a premium multi-layer label system designed to turn the label area on a tape measure into a raised, high-gloss, three-dimensional brand surface.

Instead of using a flat printed label with a thin clear cover, the dome label starts with a custom printed base label containing the customer’s logo, store name, phone number, website, QR code, barcode, Pro-Rewards message, or promotional artwork. That printed label is then sealed under a clear polyurethane resin dome. The dome cures into a smooth, raised, crystal-clear surface that acts like a lens over the artwork underneath.

The result is a label that has depth, shine, and visual weight. The logo does not look flat. It appears protected under a clear raised badge, giving the tape measure a premium, custom-made appearance. On contractor-quality tape measures, this makes the product stand out immediately on a counter display, in a customer’s hand, or as a branded gift.

How the Dome Label Works

The dome label is built in layers:

1. Printed Base Label
The customer’s artwork is printed on a durable label base. This is where the logo, message, QR code, barcode, store information, Pro-Rewards message, or promotional graphics are placed.

2. Strong Adhesive Backing
The printed label includes a strong adhesive backing designed to bond securely to the tape measure housing.

3. Clear Polyurethane Resin Dome
A clear PU resin is applied over the printed label. As it cures, it forms a raised, flexible, glossy dome that seals the artwork underneath.

4. 3-D Lens Effect
The clear dome magnifies and enhances the printed image below it, creating a deeper, richer, three-dimensional look.

5. Protective Surface
The dome helps protect the printed artwork from moisture, rubbing, fading, oils, cleaners, and normal handling wear.

Technical Features

Multi-layer label construction
Built with a printed base label, adhesive backing, and clear raised polyurethane resin dome sealed over the artwork.
Clear polyurethane dome surface
The top layer is flexible PU resin, creating a crystal-clear raised lens over the customer’s imprint.
Flexible, not brittle
Polyurethane has a resilient, rubber-like quality that helps the dome handle normal use, flexing, and impact better than a hard plastic cover.
UV-resistant protection
The clear dome helps protect the printed artwork from light exposure, fading, and yellowing, helping the logo stay sharper and brighter over time.
Moisture, scratch, and chemical resistance
The raised PU coating helps seal the imprint against moisture, rubbing, oils, cleaners, and everyday jobsite handling.
Premium high-gloss 3-D finish
The dome creates depth, shine, and a raised badge appearance that makes the customer’s brand look more expensive and more noticeable than a flat label.

Why It Matters

Most tape measure labels are flat. They identify the brand, but they do not create much visual impact. A dome label changes that. It makes the tape measure look like a more valuable branded product, not just another tool with a sticker on it.

For dealers, contractors, and promotional programs, the dome label gives the tape measure a stronger marketing purpose. It helps the customer’s name, logo, and message stay visible. It also makes the product more attractive as a customer gift, counter-display item, Pro-Rewards tool, or branch promotion.

In simple terms, the dome label turns the tape measure into a walking billboard: raised, protected, professional, and built to stand out.
