The Map Room

Welcome to the map room, where you can print the place you love.

Browse our collection of maps from across New Zealand. We’ve got options from Auckland to Invercargill but sing out if there’s a place you can’t see and we’ll do our best to find it for you.

Choose between two fantastic modern styles - wall art on ACM for a satin non-reflective finish or a face mounted acrylic print for a glossy luxurious feel.

For maps going into kitchens and bathrooms we recommend choosing acrylic. These aren’t splash backs but genuine high-quality wall decor that come ready to hang on your wall and are certain to add sophistication to your home. It is important to note that our maps are not designed to withstand high heat and should not be hung over a stove.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us at info@agreatbackyard.co.nz

Incomparable style

Some providers print direct onto acrylic, a cheaper process used in sign making. Our prints have a broader colour range, finer line detail and longer lifespan.

get the best

All our prints come ready to hang, backed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) to give the print protection, rigidity and a luxurious gloss black finish on the back.

luxurious finish

Each print is supplied with a 12mm spacer board with a wire for easy hanging, or a french cleat for larger prints. These are heavy prints, designed to last yet they seem to float effortlessly off the wall!

Longevity

By printing on your map and then mounting it onto acrylic using a U.V. protected Ultra-Clear laminate, we ensure it will last long into the future.
