Which pins and hanging fixtures do I use with the foam board map?

Which pins should I use?

The best size of push pin to use would be any longer than 5mm, which is the minimum depth of our foam boards. Standard drawing pins work well, as do push pins with a plastic ball head that is most commonly used on push pin maps.

How should I hang the foam board on my wall?

The best way to hang the foam board will ultimately depend on the construction of the wall it will be placed on. There are a number of options, such as;

● Placing the foam board in a thin frame without any glass/front that can then be attached to the wall.
● Using mirror brackets to hold the foam board onto the wall.
● Using a heavy duty clip that is attached to the wall, or then hung with heavy duty cord.

I would like my guests to sign the Wedding Guest Book Map, which type of pen is best?

We recommend that only ballpoint pens or fast drying pens are used to write on the Wedding Guest Book Maps. This is to avoid smudging the ink. A Bic or a Sharpie work well.

It may be possible to use other pen types however we would advise testing them first to avoid smudging the ink on your wedding day.

Print colour and computer screens

Please note that because our prints are digitally printed it is important to be aware that computer screens can differ slightly from the final printed colour.
