Olympic Commemorative Map

Whether or not you're aiming for Olympic glory in 2016, this glorious commemorative map will be a great inspiration to young and old. This is one piece of memorabilia that will be treasured even though the excitement of hosting the games is over.

We’ve highlighted every host city from the last century finishing with the current hosts, Brazil. Along the map’s border are pictograms of the 36 sports that will be contested during the Olympics.

Printed to the highest quality with silver metallic seas and a gloss varnish on the landmasses, this stunning piece of memorabilia is one not to miss.

Colour: The colours of the Olympic rings have been graded through countries and continents to highlight global participation in this event.

Details: Country boundaries, capital and major cities, rivers, highest peaks, sea depths, North/South Pole projections and a shaded physical relief layer.

Printing: The map is printed using a lithographic printing process onto a coated, silk-finish paper, with special colours, including metallic and luminous inks. The print is finished with a sealer, to protect the inks, and a gloss UV varnish is applied to the landmasses – for contrast.

Scale: 1:40,000,000 (approximately)

Plastic Coated:We encapsulate the map in plastic to create a durable write-on/ wipe-off finish. Perfect for children or anyone with sticky fingers.

Magnetic:We mount our plastic coated map on to flexible sheet metal to create a durable, wipeable, magnetic surface. The map features magnetic strips on the back to enable you to fix it to the wall with ease. We supply stainless steel magnetic balls to mark points of interest and strong steel cylinders to convert the map in to a notice board.

Framed:We frame our maps without glass to display the print quality in all its glory. The sealed finish allows your map to be cleaned gently with a damp cloth.

Framed Magnetic:This option combines the interactive nature of the magnetic map with the sharp presentation of our professional framing service.

Hanging Rails: The rails come in two parts and work through the power of magnetism. The first piece is attached to your wall with rawl plus and screws (supplied). Your map is then sandwiched between this and the top rail by magnets in the rails. Sold in pairs so that you have a second rail to weigh the bottom of the map down.

Warning: Our maps are approximately a million times more beautiful in real life than on your computer screen. The luminous colour and glossy metallics have been known to cause palpitations, so have a chair handy when it arrives.
