Our Story
Printlits started in our home with a 3D printer, two little girls and an idea we never expected to become something this special.
It was supposed to organise Dad's tools.
My husband and I originally bought our first 3D printer for a very practical reason, he wanted to organise his tools.
That plan didn't last long. Our two girls quickly became the main reason the printer was running, with little animals and characters appearing instead of tool organisers.
They loved them. Their friends loved them. Our family loved them. Before long, people were asking where they could get one too.
That's when we started wondering: maybe we have something here.
We're building something for our family.
We're a mum and dad raising two young girls while both working full-time to provide for our family.
Our goal with Printlits is bigger than selling 3D printed characters. We're working towards the possibility of one day becoming self-employed, having more time with our children and building something they can grow up being proud of.
Every Printlit sold is another small step towards the life we're working hard to build for our family.
What makes Printlits special
Printlits began with our kids, and the things that mattered at the beginning still matter to us today.
Family first
Our girls are the reason Printlits exists and continue to be at the heart of what we're building.
Made in New Zealand
Each Printlit is carefully 3D printed here in New Zealand, one layer at a time.
Built with a dream
Every order helps us move a little closer to turning our small family business into our full-time future.
Every order genuinely matters.
When you order from Printlits, you're not buying from a huge company or a faceless brand. You're supporting a real New Zealand family building something from the ground up.
