Wooden map or full-color map? What is the difference between them?


Choosing a wall map comes down to the look you want: visible wood grain and engraved detail, or rich colour and printed geography. Here’s how the two options differ.

The main difference between them lies primarily in the material, visual execution, and overall character of the product. The wooden map highlights the natural grain and variation of the wood. The full-color map has a smoother surface, printed detail and richer colours.

Compare the two finishes to see which suits your room.


Engraved wooden maps: natural wood and detailed engraving

Wooden map is the ideal choice for those seeking decoration with a natural character, authentic look, and premium finishing. It is made of poplar wood, valued for its fine grain and natural appearance.

In an engraved map, the wood is part of the design. Its grain gives the room a warm feel, and small differences in the material make each piece distinct.

A major advantage of the wooden map is also its engraving. Country and city names and selected borders are engraved into the front of the map, adding detail to the layered wood.

Since wooden maps are among our premium products, we also emphasize the detailing that customers may not notice at first glance. On the back of our regional maps, we engrave our logo and motto, giving each piece a subtle 68travel signature.

An engraved wooden map combines natural material, precise detail and the character of wood.

This type of map is especially appreciated by customers who prefer:

  • natural and quality materials,

  • careful finishing and fine detail,

  • engraved names of cities, countries, and borders,

  • original appearance of each piece,

  • warm, elegant, and decorative effect in the interior.

Choose an engraved poplar-wood map if wood grain, natural warmth and engraved detail are what you want to see on your wall.


Full-colour maps: printed detail and rich colours

Full-color map uses rich colours, clean lines and printed detail to create a more graphic wall feature.

Unlike the wooden map, where the material itself and its natural structure play a significant role, the appearance and color accuracy are the focus of the full-colour map. Its smoother, more uniform surface gives the printed design a consistent finish.

Therefore, the full-color map is more suitable for those who prefer:

  • a more modern and cleaner design,

  • more precise graphic execution,

  • more vibrant and saturated colors,

  • unified and consistent appearance of the product.

A full-colour map creates a striking feature in a modern or colour-coordinated room. Choose it if vivid colour is central to the look you want.

Printing lets us show more geographic detail, including borders, country names, rivers, more towns and detailed lakes. A full-colour map suits you if those features matter as much as the overall room effect.

Choose a full-colour map if you prefer a vivid, graphic look.


Which map suits your room?

Both options have advantages. The right choice depends on which details you enjoy and the look you want in your room.

Wooden Map is ideal for those who love natural materials, originality, engraved details, and a warm decorative look.
Full-Color Map is suitable for those seeking modern design, precise graphics, and vibrant colors.

Choose an engraved map for natural warmth and visible wood grain, or a full-colour map for vivid colour and printed geographic detail.
