Help! Need tape with measurements on it, NOT MEASURING TAPE!

I need a tape with graduations like a ruler on it, and more specifically metric (AHHHHH) I know.

Anybody have a clue where and the hell I can get this?

I've tried drafting places etc... can't find anything. Found something online but only with inches. Pref. in store.......need it for work. Thanks guys

I need something that is adhesive. They both claimed they didn't have anything but maybe I should just look for myself.

Its for work. so I don't want to make my own tape, or id just use a measuring tape with some sticky backing. I guess this product just isn't available in stores.

Looks like nobody had metric, but it may still be useful.

So far you found the best thing.....going to check it out........appreciate the help. This is for work so it helps me out a lot.

Peace
