Penco Pocket Measuring Tape (2m) - Red

The compact measuring tape with industrial charm. Stainless steel case, 2m tape, vintage graphics. Weighs 60g.

Why This Exists

The Penco Pocket Measuring Tape takes a purely functional tool and gives it the retro American novelty treatment. Inspired by vintage corporate giveaways from mid-century America, it's designed to be small enough to carry everywhere but substantial enough to feel like a proper tool.

Housed in a stainless steel case with Penco's signature retro colour finishes, this compact tape measure extends to 2 metres — enough for most everyday measurements without the bulk of a tradesperson's tape. The yellow measurement tape features Penco branding and thoughtful graphic details that reference old industrial design. At just 4 × 4.5 × 1.2cm, it slips easily into pockets, bags, or desk drawers. The industrial aesthetic makes it something you'll actually want to keep visible rather than hidden away.
