Hi Charlie. We have a large map arriving shortly (From NatGeo, around 60"x40"?). This is not a particularly 'special' map so we don't need a decorative frame, but a functional one. We will be using the map for planning, so we want a frame/cover on which we can write with dry-erase (whiteboard) markers. Do you have any suggestions for how we can wall hang a large world map, to include a protective face on which we can use dry-erase markers? ... of course, cost is a consideration. J.
Great questions, Jordan! Most glass surfaces handle dry-erase markers pretty well so practically any frame could work, but have you considered: 1. Laminate it. Could be expensive, but can be used over and over. 2. Photograph it and display an image projected onto an erasable whiteboard. Either option could be more expensive or complicated than simply buying a couple of the maps from National Geographic and taping them up on the wall. We hope these ideas are helpful and would love to know what you end up doing. Happy mapping!
Great question! We use Filmoplast P90 hinging tape. In a typical application we cut a two-inch length of tape and attach an inch of the tape to the reverse side of the map at the upper edge, fold the tape, and affix the other inch to the mounting board. Use two or more hinges, depending on the size of the map. It’s very similar to mounting a stamp in an album with a stamp hinge. I hope this is clear. It’s a bit of a challenge trying to put into words what, to us at least, is something we do almost without thinking about it, like opening a door, which is another good illustration of how a hinge works. This video has a pretty good visual demonstration of a T hinge: th-cam.com/video/IF372oZv8Qw/w-d-xo.html This is a link to the type of tape: www.amazon.com/Neschen-Filmoplast-Archival-Mending-Tape/dp/B0090N21IC/ref=asc_df_B0090N21IC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167150673566&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11080418719107878747&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9014040&hvtargid=pla-343975811484&th=1
@@CoreyLKoberg, great question! Thank you for asking! We do, in fact, often use mounting corners for maps that we offer for sale at the book and maps fairs that we do. We have found, however, they are not suited for longer, more permanent displays because they can sometimes loosen, allowing the mounted map or print to slip down, risking damage. When this happens to something that is matted and framed, behind glass, with the back sealed with protective paper, it is a challenge to open everything up to fix the problem. A map that is mounted and framed, will many times be hung on a wall with the expectation that it will be there for many years, and the use of archival, adhesive hinges is the preferred and more permanent way to make sure they remain properly displayed and protected.
Great question! The UV light from the sun damages your map over time and it will fade. You can purchase UV protective glass for your frame to help prevent this from happening and we highly suggest this if you are framing a map of monetary or sentimental value.
Great question! To see both sides of a map you simply use double glazing. In other words, glass on both sides. This is a fairly common technique, especially for old maps that may have some elaborate decoration, text, or other map on the verso. We hope this helps :)

What if the map measures 5 x 7 feet (yes, 35 square feet of map) and was commissioned by the Department of the Interior in 1906? It's of the United States and Territories. I'm a bit overwhelmed at what it's going to cost.
Agreed, the cost of framing a 5 foot x 7 foot map would be overwhelming. Perhaps use those sticky-back hangers folks use to put posters up on their walls? Best to use the ones with removable adhesive. Another idea is to use clips, just be sure to hang your map out of the path of direct sunlight if it doesn't have the benefit of UV protecting glass. We hope this helps! :)

Why is there so much space between the edge of the border and the actual map?
Nice
Why thank you!
What is Hinge mounting? I am struggling to find a visual example of this
