However, as these are working navigation charts rather than decorative prints, there are a few practical considerations for those wishing to frame them. Please review the key points below before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChart Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most charts are approximately DE size (1070 x 715 mm), Long DE size (1270 x 715 mm) or A0 size (1189 x 841mm), though individual charts may differ. Some chart images are smaller and may be printed with a white border which can be trimmed. As exact dimensions aren't available until printing we strongly recommend waiting to receive your chart before ordering a frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The chart will be printed from the latest file available. Sometimes this may be more up-to-date than the sample image on this page. Over the past few years the colour palette and general presentation of Admiralty charts has changed as new editions are published. For example, newer editions use a paler yellow for land compared to the traditional deeper 'mustard' colour. If this is of concern please get in touch and we can check the latest thumbnail image.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial Markings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charts will include an official agent's stamp and a line of authentication data in the margin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolded or Unfolded:\u003c\/strong\u003e By default, charts are folded up to three times to a standard size suitable for a ship's chart drawer. If you require an unfolded chart for framing, please select this option when ordering. Both folded and unfolded charts are then rolled for shipping in a tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eShipping and Handling\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted to Order:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note that Admiralty charts are not off-the-shelf items. Each one is printed on demand by an official UKHO Print-on-Demand distributor and prepared individually, a process that involves printing, trimming, quality checking, folding, official stamping, and applying a chart number label to the back of the chart. Please check for messages regarding current handling times during the ordering process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUrgent Orders:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are in a hurry, please get in touch with us directly and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your chart will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Charts are produced to professional navigation standards where minor creasing, if it occurs, does not affect navigational use. If shipped with Royal Mail we use a standard round tube. If shipped with DPD we use a long rectangular box which carries a slightly higher risk of creasing. Minor creasing can usually be flattened easily with a few hours under some heavy books.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReturns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because every chart is printed to order, it is non-returnable unless faulty or damaged. Please ensure the chart you have selected meets your needs before ordering. We are very happy to help with any questions, so please get in touch if you need assistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Admiralty","offers":[{"title":"22 Mar 2019 \/ Folded","offer_id":57347546284406,"sku":"PNG-0646","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"22 Mar 2019 \/ Unfolded","offer_id":57522462720374,"sku":"PNG-0646-UF","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/2287\/2891\/files\/aus0646_1.jpg?v=1771786923","url":"https:\/\/sailorshop.co.uk\/products\/admiralty-chart-png646-approaches-to-madang","provider":"SailorShop.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
