What Are the Details on Printing, Paper, and Lamination?
Each Personalized Map is finished by hand in our Charlotte, NC workshop using high-quality materials. We offer paper, laminated, mounted, framed, and spring roller formats. The specific paper type and lamination details depend on the map and finish selected. See individual product pages for specifications. Laminated maps work well with dry or wet-erase markers. While dry-erase is convenient, leaving the ink on too long may cause ghosting. For best long-term results, we recommend wet-erase markers. These markers dry quickly and remove cleanly with a damp cloth, keeping your map looking fresh over time.
