How it works

  1. Add your moments

    Pin the moments that matter, wherever they happened. Then add any national events you want alongside them.

  2. Share it

    Send a link so everyone can check the names and dates before you buy.

  3. Choose digital or print

    A digital file to print anywhere, or an A2 or A1 print posted free within New Zealand. You approve a proof before anything is printed.

Have the names, years and places ready. Making one takes about 10 minutes. No dates yet? Save a draft in the editor and finish it later.

Why make your own

  • A gift no one else will give

    For a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding or Christmas. No one else will turn up with the same present.

  • Your moments, alongside New Zealand’s history

    Pin the moments that matter, then add the national events around them if you like. A gold thread joins yours in the order they happened.

  • Made together

    Send a link while you’re making it, so everyone can check names, places and years before it’s printed.

Questions

How long does delivery take?

We email you a proof within 24 hours, and the digital file as soon as you approve it. Prints are rolled in a sturdy tube and posted within 2–3 working days, with free shipping anywhere in New Zealand.

What is it printed on?

A true A2 (420 × 594 mm) or A1 (594 × 841 mm) sheet of 200 gsm glossy paper, designed and printed in New Zealand. Any standard frame of the same size fits. The frame isn’t included.

Do you check my design before it’s printed?

Yes. We look over every design before your proof goes out, and nothing is printed or sent until you approve it.

How many events can I add?

Up to 23, counting your own moments and national events. You choose the title too.

Can I make changes after I order?

Yes. Within 24 hours of your order we email you a proof of your poster. Reply with any changes to names, dates or places and we’ll send a new proof. Nothing is printed and no final files are sent until you tell us you’re happy.

Can I get a refund on a custom poster?

If you change your mind before approving your proof, we’ll refund you in full. Once you’ve approved it, your poster is made just for you, so we can’t refund a change of mind. If a print arrives damaged or doesn’t match your approved proof, we’ll reprint it free.

Can I order from overseas?

Yes, the digital file. It’s available worldwide and emailed as soon as you approve your proof, so you can print it locally. Prints are posted within New Zealand only.
