Flattening a map or poster for framing is a simple process.

1. Open up the map on a flat surface.
2. Take a damp paper towel and lightly wet the folds. (This relaxes the paper fibers.)
3. Using a blank piece of paper as an interleaving sheet so the iron doesn't come into direct contact with your map, iron the folds.
