FAQ:

Q1: What are the benefits of an iron casing compared to standard ABS plastic?

A: The iron casing provides significantly higher crush resistance, drop protection, and heat resistance. It will not crack or degrade in harsh workshop environments and offers a premium, weighted feel and vintage aesthetic.

Q2: Will the steel blade bend, snap, or lose its shape under frequent use?

A: No. The blade is manufactured from high-resilience carbon spring steel, allowing it to bend around curved surfaces and instantly spring back to true straightness without permanent deformation or kinking.

Q3: Are the scale graduations resistant to wear and rust?

A: Yes. The blade surface is treated with an anti-rust lacquer and wear-resistant polymer coating that shields the printed markings from sweat, moisture, and friction.

Q4: Can we customize the iron shell color and have our logo embossed on it?

A: Absolutely. We offer full OEM services, including custom shell plating/painting colors (Pantone matching), stamped/embossed metal logos, and custom retail gift boxes.

Q5: What is the MOQ and production turnaround time for OEM orders?

A: The standard MOQ for custom branded iron tape measures is 1,000–2,000 pcs. The average mass production turnaround is 20–30 days upon artwork and sample confirmation.
