Products
The pin canvas consists of a 360 g/sqm strong cotton-polyester blend. This finely structured linen fabric enables high color brilliance and a razor-sharp print image. The high-quality feel is reminiscent of a classic gallery canvas.
The canvas is stretched on a 2 cm or 4 cm thick stretcher frame made of solid wood. The canvas is wrapped around the stretcher frame and attached to the back of the frame. This ensures a nice look, because the frame is completely covered by the screen and is therefore not visible.
The thickness of the canvas and the taut tension allow the pins to be held perfectly, so we deliberately avoided using a cork or foam backing. The pins are easy to insert, do not tilt or slip out.
Sustainability is also important to us: Printing is done with GREENGUARD GOLD-certified water-based inks. And the stretcher frame is made of sustainable spruce wood from Bavaria - FSC certified.
We are so convinced of our product that we deliberately do without a cork or foam backing!
On the one hand, this is due to the thick and robust gallery canvas, and on the other hand to the special stretching technique with which we stretch the canvas on the stretcher frame. The pins are easy to insert, won't wobble or fall out!
The canvas material we use is 360 g/sqm so thick and robust that pins can be stuck into the canvas without any problems and hold it perfectly.
Added to this is the special stretching technique with which we stretch the canvas on the stretcher frame. The pins are easy to insert, won't wobble or fall out!
super sharp. crispy. Razor sharp! All products are printed with a resolution of 2,400 dpi .
Please note: The canvases (cotton blended fabric) are printed on the basis of pin-sharp data with a resolution of 2,400 dpi. Since the printed material naturally has an uneven surface , there may be slight optical blurring in the tolerance range depending on the viewing angle of the screen. This fact does not represent a defect and does not justify a complaint.
Sustainability is also important to us: Printing is done with water-based GREENGUARD GOLD-certified inks. And the stretcher frame is made of sustainable spruce wood from Bavaria - FSC certified.
Wallpapers: How are wet-adhesive photo wallpapers installed?
The substrate should be dry, clean, smooth and absorbent.
Our non-woven photo wallpapers can usually be easily removed when dry. The wall will not be damaged.
Walls and ceilings are never completely straight. Therefore, the wallpaper must always be slightly longer and wider than the clear wall dimension. The protruding remains are simply cut off after assembly.
The wallpaper is custom-printed according to your order as an individual custom-made product. That's why you can't reorder any lengths later, but have to reorder the entire wallpaper in a new order.
Personalizations
You can choose from a variety of motifs or logos to personalize our cards. You can not only specify the name (line 1), but also determine the sub-line (line 2). With some themes you can even define text for a legend .
This is how it works: Before ordering, simply select the desired personalization from the menu (the product images explain the variants very well), enter the name in text field no. 1 and the subline in text field no. 2. Then add it to the shopping cart - and that's all.
When personalizing, you can also select or deselect a quote and freely define it (only applies to world maps).
The text length per line should not exceed approx. 25 characters!
Apostrophe yes or no? There are two orthographic options:
The correct spelling is without an apostrophe, i.e. "Tom & Emma's World Travel Map".
However, according to Duden, it is also correct to use an apostrophe to emphasize the name more. That's why we chose the spelling "Tom & Emma's World Travel Map".
If you don't use an apostrophe in your specification: We'll add the apostrophe after the name ("Tom & Emma's").
However, if you insist, we will of course omit the apostrophe!
Wir übernehmen deine Textvorgaben bei Personalisierungen 1:1. Nur bei besonders auffälligen Fehlern oder komplexeren Personalisierungen schicken wir vor Produktionsbeginn einen Korrekturabzug per Email oder SMS.
Yes, you can replace the Bourdain quote with another quote of your choice. To replace the quote, please choose one of the personalization options. And enter the desired text in the text field provided.
If your specifications are not very specific: Before the start of production, we will send you a proof by email. So nothing can go wrong!
We would be happy to print a company logo on the card. For this individual implementation, we only charge a small surcharge for data transfer, preparation of the print data and coordination, depending on the type and effort. Please send us an inquiry via email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
The color combinations of our card material have been carefully selected and proofed in a lengthy process (coordinated in several proof samples). A color change requires a new check of the colors, which would result in a very time-consuming and costly process.
In principle, a color change is possible. We would be happy to make you an offer. Please send us an inquiry via email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Shipping
All cards are not in stock, but are made to order just for you. Therefore we have a delivery time of 6 to 8 working days (Germany).
We usually always have accessories such as pins or magnetic pins in stock and ship them within 1 to 2 working days.
In Germany, all items are shipped free of charge. Shipping costs only apply to delivery addresses outside of Germany. The exact shipping costs can be found in our shipping conditions .
Deliveries to non-EU countries are unfortunately very expensive due to the high packing dimensions. We therefore recommend that the delivery be made to a German address. Companies like MeinEinkauf.ch and similar offer attractive options for transporting goods from Germany to Switzerland.
Since the card is produced individually for you, you can expect delivery within 6 to 8 working days.
On request and for a surcharge of EUR 15.00 we offer express production. Then your card will reach you within 3 to 4 working days.
The specified shipping time is a guideline. In individual cases there may be delays over which we have no influence.
Products with a pack size of up to 120 cm long and 60 cm wide (corresponds only to canvases in the format 80 x 60 cm) are shipped with DHL.
Products with a larger pack size (corresponds to canvases from 100 cm wide) are shipped with GoExpress.
Delivery by Go! Express is always on weekdays between 08:00 and 13:00.
If an afternoon delivery is desired, there will be an additional cost of 10.00 euros.
DHL usually leaves a message so that you can pick up the goods at the nearest post office as usual.
Deliveries of cards with a side length of 100 cm or more are a little different: due to the pack size, we send them with the GoExpress shipping company. Every delivery therefore means a special journey.
If the first delivery attempt is unsuccessful, we would like to point out that in rare individual cases, GoExpress may charge you for the second delivery attempt. Depending on the pack size, this will incur costs of up to €45.00. These costs must be paid by the buyer before the second delivery.
If the notified delivery date does not fit into your planning, we will be happy to arrange a desired delivery date before sending the goods. Please send us a message by email or give us a call immediately after the approximate delivery date has been announced.

Please note: The canvases (cotton blended fabric) are printed on the basis of pin-sharp data with a resolution of 2,400 dpi. Since the printed material naturally has an uneven surface, there may be slight optical blurring in the tolerance range depending on the viewing angle of the screen. This fact does not represent a defect and does not justify a complaint.
Every tree is unique and wood is a timeless natural product that is dimensionally influenced by basic physical laws such as temperature and humidity. However, this natural and rustic character, which gives wood its special charm, also imposes certain limitations on the quality of the products, which must be consciously accepted. Despite the most careful selection of materials and the most modern production methods, the characteristics shown that can be observed again and again in practice must be accepted with wood. These features are properties of the wood material that cannot be influenced and cannot be complained about.
In concrete terms, this means that the canvas can stretch over time due to fluctuating temperatures and humidity and lead to warping of the wooden frame. Such cases are expressly no grounds for complaint.
#1 Wedge
• Place the stretcher frame on the picture surface
• Carefully drive the supplied wooden wedges deeper into the two corners that are not warped (not immediately as far as they will go!)
#2 Straighten
• place the stretcher frame with one side on the floor in front of you
• the screen faces away from you
• fix the lower stretcher bar with your foot
• Bend the stretcher frame by pressing the diagonal corners together
• If necessary, turn the stretcher frame to the next side and repeat the process until the frame is completely straight
#3 Moisturize
• place the stretcher frame on the picture surface
• moisten the wooden frame evenly with water (spray lightly, do not soak)
• weight all corners and sides equally (e.g. with books)
• let the frame dry completely in a horizontal position
