This is a combination map, focused on two travel realities. Side 1 is a detailed map of the main islands making up the Cook Island archipelago. To provide more detail, the country is an inset map in the lower left corner, with numbers in blue, up to 15.

The main map on Side 1 is a series of inset maps providing excellent detail of individual islands, such as Raratonga, Mangaia, or Aitutaki, or island groupings of more northerly groupings that are little more than atolls, such as Penrhyn or Palmerston. The capital is Avarua, and an inset map is included; also one of Arutanga on Aitutaki. The country is well-positioned for tourism, and has many resorts, particularly on Raratonga.

Side 2 is a new map for ITMB, part of our growing Cruising line. This one covers the eastern portion of the South Pacific, from the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and the Solomons on the west to Hawaii and Tahiti on the east, and as far south as New Zealand. Other island nations included on this map are Kiribati, Tuvalu, Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia. By the nature of portraying a vast ocean, little detail of each island can be provided. The purpose of this map is to show routes followed by ships visiting the overall region.

This is a rapidly-growing travel area for major cruise lines, and promises to be as attractive in the future as cruises in the Caribbean or Mediterranean. This region holds great prospects for the future. Besides, it is a lovely map to look at.

Gloss Laminate

Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.

Matte Laminate

Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.

Canvas

Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
