Planispheres for commercial purposes

Rob Walrecht Productions not only has the most extensive planisphere programme in the world, with:

planispheres in 17 languages (See this page and below), and
English planispheres for ten different latitude zones, together covering the entire populated world;

we are also specialised in customised planispheres: containing your name, logo and information, and in the size, colours and shape you prefer, the text on the back side. Please scroll down for examples of customised planispheres.

Here is a video showing the possibilities and workings of our Planispheres.

Why have your own customised planisphere?

Having your own customised planisphere, with the name, logo and details of your organisation, may be an investment, but the advantages are clear: they are a sort of wonderful business card for your planetarium, museum, school, business.

And... the design lasts for a very long time: for at least four centuries!
See this page for more information.

Advantages of a customised planisphere

The Planisphere is interesting for companies, as a premium or luxurious 'business card': it can be coupled to qualities like accuracy (obviously), infinite possibilities, ‘stars’ and much more.
For some of the same reasons it is a great asset to planetarums, museums, universities and schools, to offer their visitors and students, and as promotional items (even when sold).

Tips for non-profit organisations

For small non-profit organisations there are still options to realise a customised planisphere, by sponsoring.

There is ample space on the back side for logo's, particularly for the full colour designs.
It's a products that lasts very long (theoretically 400 years...), and that is interesting for a sponsor
One or more sponsors could finance the planispheres and let your organisation sell it or distribute it in another way.

Special Offers

Special opportunities - special prices
Due to the high starting costs for printing materials the minimum number we can normally offer is 500. Or 2 x 250, as the PVC upper discs are printed in pairs (for accuracy the star charts are printed per piece.
Sometimes it is possible to make special offers, by combining two different orders for 250, 500, 1000 or more - as long as the versions are similar with respect to colours, size and shape. Therefore, it is always good to ask us about possible opportunities of combining your Planisphere with another (see the next part for current opportunities).

New: Full Colour Planispheres

The latest development is the printing of the star chart and back side of planispheres in full colour. Use of colours offers tremendous advantages, like making the names of stars, constellations and objects better readable when using a red flashlight.

Below you see some planispheres that were printed in full colour.
