Finishes

Please note that not all our products are available in all finishes. The finishes related to your map are either displayed in the "select a finish" drop down box on the product page or in the title of the product itself.

Paper

Your map is printed onto 29lb paper (110gsm) and is left unfinished. Delivered rolled in a tube

Paper with front sheet lamination

Your wall map will be finished with a front sheet lamination process. Front sheet lamination gives the map a write-on/wipe off-finish, so anything you write on it with a dry erase marker can be wiped off using a suitable cleaner. Delivered rolled in a tube.

Silk art paper (170gsm)

Our Silk Art paper has a superior color reproduction finish and provides high photo quality. The 65lb (170gsm) silk paper is coated in a smooth silk material, combining strength and durability. Delivered rolled in a tube.

Laminated

Your wall map will be finished with a double sided lamination process known as encapsulation. Encapsulation means the print is heat-sealed between two sheets of industrial quality plastic film. Please note that the edges of this print are not sealed. Laminated gives the map a write-on/wipe off-finish, so anything you write on it with a dry erase marker can be wiped off using a suitable cleaner. Delivered rolled in a tube.

Pinboard mounted

Our pinboard mounted maps are designed to be rigid and attractive with the added bonus that they can be pinned with thumbtacks. This map comes mounted on Gator Board foam board. It's easy to hang your map using the mount attached to the back of this board.
