Here’s a printable ruler template in inches that you can download and print out.
Click on any of the ruler thumbnails below to open up the printable ruler pdf.
When you print this, do not press “scale to fit” since this will distort the size of the ruler.
If you’re printing on 8.5 x 11 paper, the ruler will fit on the paper without getting cut off at the margins.

Hi Tim,
I make bracelets and would like to put the link of this web page on my site for people who need to measure their wrist. Would that be okay? Or can I purchase the one of these ruler graphics to place directly on my site? Thank you.

Hi Cheryl,
Yes, feel free to link back to the site. I’m not currently selling my ruler graphics, so the link is the best option.
Thanks,
Tim
