Finishing Options
Most wall maps are offered in a variety of finishing options. If you need a map that’s ready to hang on the wall, we can frame or add rails your map to save you time and money. Here are the details, contact us with questions.
PAPER
Paper finishing is the most economical option. Most maps are printed on premium 36lb paper. Waterproof paper is also available for functional maps that may be used outdoors.
LAMINATED
Maps are printed then run through our laminator that secures 1.7mil-thick satin-gloss-finished lamination on the front and back. Use map stickers and wet-erase markers.
MOUNTED
Maps are printed then laminated with 1.7mil-thick satin lamination onto 1/4″-thick foamcore. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers with our mounted maps.
LAMINATED WITH RAILS
First, we laminate the map then we mount wood rails at the top and bottom of the map. The front side of each rail is finished with a black or walnut finish while the sides and back are unfinished wood.
Sawtooth hardware is fixed to the back of the top rail, so it’s ready to hang. Use stickers or wet-erase markers on your map.

Sawtooth hardware is fixed to the back of the top. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on all our framed maps.
