About Artline Globes
Dedicated to the creation of world class acrylic globes, highly skilled American artisans hand-fashion each Artline Globe for unsurpassed quality. State-of-the-art technology allows for Artline to offer a lifetime guarantee of quality and craftsmanship. Each Artline Globe reflects a standard of excellence not achievable with today’s mass production techniques. From the multi-colored silk-screening to the meticulous blowing, shaping and finishing, each globe is proudly passed from the hands of their craftspeople to yours.
Beginning with museum quality cast acrylic sheets, each is cut to size, checked for optical clarity, and prepared for application of the graphics. Each color applied to the globe requires an individual silk-screen. Depending on the globe to be created, this process can require 8 to 18 separate hand operations. Each piece is then carefully inspected and passed onto the thermal process.
At this step, each piece must be heat soaked for several hours at high temperatures. Then each piece is fitted into a blowing tube to create the hemisphere. To assure optical clarity, the hemispheres are free-blown, similar to glass-blowing techniques. Next the two hemispheres are trimmed of any excess material, then carefully matched to create a complete globe. The globes are then thoroughly cleaned and polished to remove any residue. Then the highly skilled globe maker makes a final fitting and bonds the two hemispheres, making a complete globe. The globe maker then signs and dates a Certificate of Authenticity, personally certifying the quality and appearance of each sphere. Finally, the product is individually packed and prepared for shipment.
