Glossary | Maps | General | Material
Maps can be made of different materials, depending on their purpose and desired appearance.
More information:
Aludibond
Ideal for maps that will be exposed to the elements
Cork
Cork is an excellent material for world and country maps, as markers can be attached directly to the map.
Metal
Metal maps can be individualised with magnetic pins.
Plexiglass
Maps printed under plexiglass have a particularly bright, colour-fast image.
Rigid foam
Robust maps for marking with pins.
Textile
Some maps are printed onto fabric, thereby, depending on the fabric type, giving the image an antique or vintage style.
