Design Your Own

Upland Pedestal Rail dimensions

The rail takes two printed panels: the 45″ × 15″ body panel and the 14″ × 2.13″ strip in front of the pedestal. Each template is 1:1 with bleed and safe margins marked, and editable in Adobe Illustrator. One thing to plan around: keep imagery from crossing the seam between the two panels — perfect alignment in production is difficult.

The templates below fit the standard 45″ rail. Order a different width and your order includes a 1:1 body-panel template generated to your exact size. When we print, both panels are included.

Rails built with the page-protector flipbook use the flipbook version of the body template instead — it marks the two flip-page zones so your artwork stays clear of the pages and their mounting points.

// Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Does the reader rail include printed graphics, or just the rail?
You choose at checkout:
  • Print your own — the finished wooden rail; produce the graphic panel yourself from the free 1:1 template, at any large-format print shop.
  • We print your artwork — we print your finished files on a 3mm aluminum composite (ACM) panel, ready to drop into the rail.
  • We design + print — you supply the text and images, our designers do the exhibit-scale layout, and we print it. The price includes the printing.
Is the rail stable on its own, or does it need to be mounted to something?
It's fully freestanding — the pedestal base keeps it stable on its own. You can anchor to the floor if extra stability is required.
How are the graphics prices calculated?
Printing covers both panels — the width × 15" body panel and the 14" × 2.13" strip in front of the pedestal. At the standard 45" width that's about 4.9 sq ft: printing on ACM runs $235, and design-and-print runs $786 — rail interpretation is dense, close-reading work, so design takes about 1.5 hours per square foot at our $75/hr rate. Both prices update live as you change the width.
Is the vitrine included?
Yes — every pedestal rail includes a ¼" acrylic vitrine on the pedestal. Pick angled or rectangular in the configurator; the angled style is standard, and rectangular vitrines adjust $5.50 per inch above or below the standard 10" height.
