When it comes to precision measurement tools for workbenches, cutting tables, and miter stations, few tools are as convenient and efficient as the self-adhesive tape measure. Wintape, with over 20 years of experience in the tape measure industry, offers a wide range of adhesive ruler strips designed for accuracy, durability, and customization.

What Is a Self-Adhesive Tape Measure?

A self-adhesive tape measure (also called an adhesive measuring ruler or peel-and-stick measuring tape) is a flexible measuring scale with a strong sticky backing. It can be directly applied to flat surfaces such as workbenches, table saws, cutting tables, or industrial equipment.
Made from reinforced polyester, Wintape’s adhesive rulers are wear-resistant, waterproof, oil-proof, and UV-resistant, ensuring long-lasting readability even in tough environments.

Types of Wintape Self-Adhesive Measuring Tapes

Wintape offers three main reading styles, suitable for different measurement setups:

1. Left-to-Right (L→R) Reading

Starts with “0” on the left side and increases to the right.

Commonly used on the front edge of a workbench, cutting table, or sewing table.

Ideal for users who measure in the conventional direction.

Available sizes:
30cm, 100cm, 150cm, 12inch, 24inch, 40inch, 31cm/12inch, 61cm/24inch, 152cm/60inch.

2. Right-to-Left (R→L) Reading

Starts with “0” on the right side and increases to the left.

Perfect for the opposite edge of a miter station or when measurements must mirror another ruler.

Helps prevent errors when working from the opposite direction of a cutting blade.

Available sizes:
30cm, 12inch, 31cm/12inch, 61cm/24inch, 152cm/60inch.

3. Center-Zero (Bidirectional) Type

“0” mark is positioned in the center.

Measurements extend both left and right (e.g., 12-0-12 or 30-0-30).

Ideal for miter saw stations, where measurements need to be taken from both sides of the blade.

Commonly used when aligning materials symmetrically.

Available sizes:
12inch (12-0-12), 30cm (30-0-30), 30inch (30-0-30).
