Lightbox Is there something like a lightbox but with a ruler to indicate size?

[Kevin]

OK, I'm not 100% sure of the terminology I'd want to use to describe what I'm envisioning in my head so here it goes....

Is there a portable lightbox or similar setup that could include a nice looking 'ruler' or other size indicator to show the size of the item being photographed? Thinking of something like a product catalog shot, instead of just the product against the white backdrop there'd also be some indicator to show the physical size dimensions of the product while not covering up any of the product being shown?

This is just a curiosity thought for now as I look into a few different topics.

I'd copy a ruler (or two) onto a suitable piece of OHP film and put it onto a standard LED lightbox (I own one of those - very portable, very helpful).

Cut a piece of tape measure (or print one) and stick it to the lightbox?

I missed this thread when it was posted. But it showed up in the suggested posts at the bottom of another thread. Anyhoo, I would just stick a right angle ruler in the lightbox with the item.
