The maps come framed with hardwood and Plexiglass glazing, ready to hang.

Question 2

Can I personalise this as a gift?

Question 6

What makes a good personalised gift?

Accepted Answer

The best personalised gifts connect to a meaningful memory or place. A custom 3D wooden map of a favourite beach, hometown, or holiday destination turns a shared experience into lasting wall art. Pangea maps can print special names, dates, or messages, and come framed and ready to hang, making them a thoughtful gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or housewarmings.

Question 7

How are 3D wooden maps made?

Accepted Answer

Each Pangea map starts with real bathymetry/topography data of the chosen location. The data is converted into 9 individual layers that are precision laser-cut from sustainably sourced White Birch plywood. The layers are then stacked to create a three-dimensional relief of the coastline and ocean floor. Finally, each piece is framed with a hardwood frame and Plexiglass glazing.

Question 8

What is the best gift for someone who loves travel?

Accepted Answer

For travel lovers, a custom 3D map of their favourite destination makes a unique and personal gift. Unlike generic travel accessories, a Pangea map captures a specific place they love, whether it is a surf break, a coastal town, or an island they visited. Each map is handcrafted from 9 layers of Baltic Birch and comes framed and ready to hang.

Question 9

Can I get a custom map of any location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pangea offers a custom map builder where you can create a 3D wooden map of virtually any coastal or water location in the world. Choose your area, adjust the framing, add a personalised name or message, and we will handcraft it from 9 layers of premium Baltic Birch plywood. Custom orders typically ship within 5-7 days.

Question 10

What is bathymetry?

Accepted Answer

Bathymetry is the measurement and mapping of the depth of water in oceans, seas, and lakes. It is essentially the underwater equivalent of topography. Pangea uses real bathymetric data to create each 3D map, so the layers in your artwork accurately represent the actual depth contours of the ocean floor or lakebed at that location.

Question 11

Do Pangea maps come framed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Pangea map comes framed with a hardwood frame and Plexiglass glazing, ready to hang straight out of the box. No additional framing is needed.

Question 12

Are Pangea maps sustainably made?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pangea maps are made from environmentally certified European White Birch plywood that is sustainably sourced. All materials used in production are chosen with sustainability in mind.

Question 13

What is the best wedding gift for couples?

Accepted Answer

A custom 3D map of where a couple met, got engaged, or honeymooned makes a meaningful and unique wedding gift. Pangea maps can be personalised with names, dates, and messages, and come framed and ready to hang. It is a gift that tells their story through a place they share.

Question 14

What is the best housewarming gift?

Accepted Answer

A 3D wooden map of the local area or coastline makes a thoughtful housewarming gift. It connects the new home to its surroundings and works as a striking piece of wall art. Pangea maps come framed and ready to hang, so there is nothing extra to organise.

Question 15

Can I choose the colour of my map?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each Pangea map is available in two colour options: Blue, which highlights the ocean depth with rich blue tones, and Wood, which shows the natural birch plywood grain for a warm, organic look. Both options come framed with a hardwood frame.

Question 16

How do I hang a Pangea map?

Accepted Answer

Every Pangea map comes framed and ready to hang. Simply use the hanging hardware on the back of the frame to mount it on your wall. No assembly or additional framing required.

Question 17

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pangea ships globally via DHL and FedEx. International delivery take 2-4 business days after dispatch. All maps are carefully packaged to ensure they arrive safely.

Question 18

What is the best gift for a surfer?

Accepted Answer

A 3D bathymetry map of their favourite surf break is the ultimate gift for a surfer. The map shows the actual underwater contours and reef structure of the coastline in layered wood detail. Add a custom name or message to make it personal. Each map comes framed and ready to hang.

Question 19

What is the best gift for a sailor or boater?

Accepted Answer

A 3D wooden nautical chart of their home harbour, favourite cruising ground, or a memorable sailing destination. Pangea maps show real bathymetric depth data in layered wood, making them both beautiful wall art and a conversation piece about the waters they love. We can even etch in a route or sailing passage for a truly personal touch.

Question 20

How accurate are Pangea 3D maps?

Accepted Answer

Pangea maps are built from real bathymetric and topographic data sources. The 9 layers represent actual depth and elevation contours of the location. While the vertical scale is exaggerated to create visual impact as wall art, the coastline shapes and underwater features are geographically accurate.
