I also have a piece of plexiglass that is 12" wide. I use it when I have a group of pieces and some are large. They are folded on the 12", the smaller pieces on appropriate size, and wrapped together as stack, tied and labeled.

All of my wrapper rulers are made by me from Plexiglass sheets. That gives me the width I want but with the 24" long pieces. The guys at Lowes or Home Depot will gladly cut it for you. I think at Lowes they will make 2 cuts for free and then they are 50 cents each. I have only had one clerk charge me for extra cuts. SSOOOOO much cheaper than rulers. To make things easier the yardage amount is labels on each piece so that I don't have to think .
