Press Release
Williams & Heintz Map Corporation Announces Their Kickstarter Project:
Lithographic Print of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map

Capitol Heights, MD, July 26, 2013:  Williams & Heintz Map Corporation,
a specialist in map printing, production, and folding is pleased to
announce their Kickstarter Project: THE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINT OF THE NEW
USDA PLANT HARDINESS ZONE MAP.
Backers of the project will receive the a big, 40 x 60 inch print of the
beautiful, new USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, printed with genuine
offset lithography.
The Plant Hardiness Zone Map is a map with designations that represent
the average extreme minimum temperatures in your area. The lowest
temperature during the winter is a crucial factor to the survival of
plants. This is valuable knowledge, with it you can tell if a plant will
be able to survive the winter where you live. Posters of the earlier
1990 map were sold by the Government Printing Office, which does not
plan to print and sell posters of the new map, even though it shows
significant changes from the last one.
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative projects. Each project is
independently created. Together, creators and backers make projects
happen. The project creator sets a funding goal and deadline. If people
like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen. Funding on
Kickstarter is all-or-nothing, projects must reach their funding goals
to receive any money.
The deadline for the project is August 14, 2013.
Williams & Heintz Map Corporation has been printing maps for
entrepreneurs, government agencies, and map publishers since 1921. They
combine the highest quality pre-press, printing, folding with industry
leading knowledge and customer service.
“We think it’s a beautiful map, and can’t be fully appreciated on a
screen. It deserves to be seen at full size: A big, 40” x 60 inch print
of the beautiful, new  USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, printed by genuine
offset lithography!,” said Holly Heintz Budd, President and CEO of
