Map Frame Guide

How to Make a Custom Map Frame

A guide to creating a custom city map frame: which city to choose, how to pick a theme, and which frame and size suit the wall.

What is a Custom Map Frame?

A custom map frame is a framed print of a map of a place that matters to you. At TRIPPAL it is a city map: the streets of the city you choose, composed in a colour theme you pick, in a wooden frame. It is personal wall art because the place is yours.

4 City Map Frame Ideas Worth Making

Your home city

01

The city you grew up in, for your own wall or for someone who has moved away from it.

Design Tip

A theme marked as recommended for the city is a good place to start; compare it with one other before you settle.

The city you met in

02

An anniversary or wedding gift that is about a place the two of you share.

Design Tip

A Night Edition theme makes this read as a keepsake rather than a poster.

A housewarming map

03

A map of the city someone has just moved to, for the first wall of a new home.

Design Tip

Choose the frame colour for the room: black for contrast on a light wall, white for a quieter look.

A farewell map

04

A map of the city a colleague or a friend is leaving, to take with them.

Design Tip

Standard is easier to carry and to hang in a new place; Large is for when the map is the gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which theme should I choose for a city map frame?

Start with the wall it will hang on. A daylight theme sits on a light paper ground and suits a bright room; the two Night Edition themes sit on a dark ground and read as a statement piece. When you pick a city, one theme is marked as recommended for it, and you can compare any two side by side before you decide.

What size should I choose?

There are two: Standard, 9.5 × 12 inches, and Large, 11 × 16 inches. Standard suits a shelf, a desk or a small wall. Large suits a wall where the map is the main piece.

Can I give a custom map frame as a gift?

Yes. Choose the city that belongs to the person: where they grew up, where they studied, where you met. You pay securely online at checkout, and you approve the artwork preview before it is printed.

Will I see the map before it is printed?

Yes. We send you a preview of the artwork. Nothing goes to print until you approve your artwork preview.
