New Services Offered by MSL

Mapping Specialists offers a wide range of product finishing services. Take advantage of these services for a low-cost method to explore new markets or provide custom products from your existing maps. Whether it's large format printing, laminating, mounting to foam core, or custom framing, Mapping Specialists has the services to meet your needs.

Large Format Printing - With four large format printers available, Mapping Specialists has the equipment to meet all your oversized printing needs. Our ability to print up to 60 inches wide by 11 feet long helps you maximize your graphic presentations. Ask us about the variety of media on which your images can be printed.

Print on Demand - Let us help you manage your inventory by making your large format, low-demand products printable on demand. POD enables you to tap into readily available revenue streams at a fraction of the cost of traditional print runs and at a lower risk. We offer sample plots and store your final files in our systems. Fulfillment is as easy as an e-mail placed to our office. We print, laminate (if requested), and drop ship the order directly to your customer.

Lamination - Let Mapping Specialists add value and protection to your products. We offer a wide selection of laminates with our state-of-the-art, 60-inch heat-process laminator. Whether it's a glossy or matte finish in 1.7 mil, 3 mil, 5 mil, or super-duty 10 mil, the UV resistant laminate protects your print from the elements.

Framing - Put the finishing touches on your on-demand print product by taking advantage of our high-quality custom frames. Choices include oak, pine, rough cedar, or contemporary black all-wood finishes. All frames include your image mounted to a foam-core backing placed behind a glass-grade acrylic for added protection.
