What Makes Spotted Lizard Prints Different?

Spotted Lizard Prints is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, precision, and customer care. Our business model is based on the idea that personalised gifts should feel personal—not mass-produced. This is why we hand-print every order daily, ensuring consistency, durability, and premium standards every time.

Several key principles set us apart:


1. Premium Materials for Long-Lasting Results

We select only materials that ensure longevity, vibrant colours, and a professional finish. These include:

  • High-gloss white ceramic for mugs
  • Professional-grade polyester for cushions and sacks
  • Durable, mid-weight fabrics for baby grows and rompers
  • Natural slate for premium photo plaques
  • Soft, plush fabrics for personalised teddies
  • High-strength personalised water bottles

Each material is carefully chosen to withstand daily use while maintaining clarity, brightness, and durability of the printed design.


2. Hand-Printed Using Professional Techniques

Spotted Lizard Prints uses just one printing method:
