Partner Program
Thank you for your interest in partnering with OffTheGridMaps! We work with local retailers and events to design one-of-a-kind, branded maps that highlights key points of interest for the activities they want to know about.
Our branded and logo’d maps are specifically designed for each business partner to:
- Prominently feature your company name, logo, and contact information (like address, phone, email, website)
- Show the key points of interest your customers need to know about for their upcoming adventure
- Zoom into your specific area of interest, giving you the highest level of detail possible
For the ultimate sales and marketing tool, combine your traditional brochure with your new map. We will help you “tell your customer story” on the reverse-side of the map, including important business details like:
- Who you are and why your customers should choose to work with you
- Upsell opportunities such as rates, additional services, and package deals
- Hours of operation and/or locations
Finally, we offer some unique OffTheGridMaps features, including optional:
- Free customer download of your digital GPS-enabled smartphone companion map
- Custom coupon code for companion map download

Design
Tired of outdated paper maps without enough detail for the area you’ll be exploring?
To ensure that all OffTheGridMaps show you what you need for your next adventure, we start by collecting the best available data sources of public and private lands, waterbodies, transportation, terrain, and more. Then we overlay a comprehensive set of recreation-based points of interest like fishing access, boat launches, campgrounds, and hiking trails. Finally, we thoughtfully color-code and shade each layer, resulting in highly detailed and easily readable maps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost for a custom map?
For printed maps, design fees are rolled into the cost of printing and delivery, so there are no up-front costs. We offer quantity-based wholesale pricing to all of our retail partners, so depending on volume and your choice of single- or double-sided maps, your costs will typically range from $3.50-$5.00 per printed map.
Is there a minimum order?
For cost-effective printing, the minimum is 50 maps per order . However, you can combine multiple map locations (minimum 25 per location) into a single order, which makes it easier for you to achieve higher discount rates. For example, you could place an order for 25 maps of location A, 25 maps of location B, and 50 maps of location C to achieve the 100 count discount.
What kind of map packages do you offer?
For printed maps, we offer both single- and double-sided map packages. Double-sided maps are recommended because the map is on one side, and you get to tell your your “story” (like services you offer, costs, locations, etc) to you clients on the other. Think of it like combining your brochures with your maps.
If you do not need printed maps, we also offer digital map design services.
Are your maps waterproof or tear resistant?
Our maps are printed on high-quality “trail map” paper, the same you will find at your local ski resort. While not waterproof or tear resistant, they do hold up well in light rain or snow. If you absolutely need waterproof or tear resistant paper, we’ll be happy to give you a quote but it is quite expensive when printing small quantities.
What are the size of the maps you offer?
We currently offer foldable maps on a 16″ x 10″. When delivered, each map is folded down to roughly 4″ x 5″, which fit perfectly into standard brochure holders or in your back pocket.

Wholesale Pricing
How our wholesale discounts work?
If you’ve worked with commercial printers, you know that printing costs are driven by volume… the more you print, the cheaper the price per unit. As your printing volume goes up, we pass those savings on to you with additional discounts.
