Looking to add a distinctive touch to your vehicle that feels fun, personal, and practical? A personalised car sign from Spotted Lizard Prints is a simple upgrade with outsized impact. Whether you want to share a friendly message (“Baby on Board”), add a seasonal sparkle (“Santa Please Stop Here”), or display your child’s name beside a favourite character, our custom aluminium signs help your car stand out safely and stylishly—in the school run queue, on the high street, and in busy car parks.
From clean minimalist typography to playful themed artwork (think Winnie the Pooh, dinosaurs, and more), every sign is hand-printed to order in our Stafford workshop. That means crisper colour, better build, and a finish that lasts.

Why a Personalised Car Sign?
A personalised car sign does more than look good—it solves small everyday annoyances while adding a feel-good flourish.
- Easy identification: A unique sign makes your vehicle quicker to spot in full car parks or on busy school runs.
- Polite communication: “Baby on Board,” “Learner Driver,” or “New Driver” can gently encourage considerate driving around you.
- Seasonal joy: Swap in a festive sign during December (“Santa Please Stop Here”) or a spring-themed design to match the season.
- Kid-approved pride: Children love seeing their name and favourite theme in the window—instant smiles and a sense of ownership.
- Giftable & affordable: At ~£7.95 GBP each, our signs are thoughtful, useful presents for new parents, new drivers, or anyone who loves a bespoke detail.
What Makes Spotted Lizard Prints Car Signs Special?
We pour the same care into our car signs that we do into every personalised item we make. Here’s what that means for you:
1) Aluminium for Durability
Our signs are made from aluminium with a high-gloss finish—a combination that’s hard-wearing, wipe-clean, and far less likely to peel, crack, or warp than cheaper plastic alternatives. The gloss coating delivers rich colour and sharp detail that looks premium from day one.
2) Hand-Printed to Order
Every sign is hand-printed in our Stafford workshop. Because we print to order, we can personalise precisely—fonts, colours, names, suffixes—and keep quality checks tight from first press to final pack.
3) Sensible Size & Safe Edges
Most designs are ~15 cm square with rounded corners for comfort and safety. They’re visible without being oversized, so they won’t clutter the view or look out of place.
4) Hang or Stick—Your Choice
Signs typically include a pre-drilled hole (to hang in a diamond shape). We supply a suction cup or adhesive for window mounting—choose what works best for your car and interior.
5) Themes for everyone
From Baby on Board to Child on Board, seasonal Santa graphics, Winnie the Pooh, dinosaurs, and more—we have styles for infants, kids, families, and playful grown-ups alike. Want something different? Ask us about bespoke designs.

Installation & Care
Mounting
- Clean the glass with a mild cleaner and dry thoroughly.
- If using a suction cup, slightly moisten it, press firmly onto the glass, and hold a few seconds.
- If using adhesive, position carefully—adhesives are designed for windows; avoid painted trims.
Placement
- Pick a clear corner of the rear window or side window that doesn’t obstruct your view.
- Avoid areas with heater elements or where wiper blades regularly rub.
- In hot weather, re-seat suction cups occasionally for best hold.
Care
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid harsh abrasives or solvents on the gloss finish.
- Store flat in the glove box or door bin when not in use.
Safety & Visibility Tips
- Legibility first: Short text, strong contrast, clean fonts.
- Don’t overcrowd: A single message per sign reads better than a collage.
- Mind the view: Place so it never obstructs mirrors or driver sightlines.
- Seasonal rotation: Swap out designs to keep messages relevant.
Gifting Guide: Who Will Love a Personalised Car Sign?
- New parents: “Baby on Board” + name—practical and adorable.
- Nursery drop-offs: Child’s name + friendly icon for easy car recognition.
- New drivers: A supportive, reassuring message for the early months.
- Grandparents: “Grandad’s Taxi” / “Nanna on Duty”—cute and useful.
- Seasonal fans: Family Christmas sign for the festive road trips.
- Teachers & carers: A cheerful “Thank You” window sign for the school run.
Bundle ideas: Pair a car sign with a personalised tote, mug, or kids’ placemat for a thoughtful set. Add a passport cover if they’re travel lovers.
