About Plotlyn

We create personalised map art that preserves life's meaningful places, helping people celebrate and remember the stories that matter most.

Our Story

Why Plotlyn Exists

When my family and I moved to Malaysia to begin a new chapter, I found myself thinking about the places we had left behind, while new places quietly became part of our story too.

Before starting Plotlyn, I taught Geography. One idea always stayed with me: sense of place — the deep emotional connections we form with the places that matter most. I realised maps are more than navigational tools; they help us plot the stories of our lives.

That's how Plotlyn began: creating personalised map art that celebrates life's most meaningful places. Because every place has a story worth remembering.

FAQs

The fine print on how a place becomes a piece of map art on your wall.

How accurate are the maps?

Our maps are created using data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), one of the world's largest open-source mapping projects, maintained and continuously updated by a global community of contributors.

Each map is then thoughtfully refined and styled by us to create a timeless keepsake. While we strive for geographical accuracy, our maps are intended as decorative artwork rather than navigational tools, balancing accurate map data with a clean, minimalist design that celebrates the story behind your place.

What paper do you use?

We print on premium 180-micron synthetic paper with a beautiful matte finish. Chosen for its durability and exceptional print quality, it produces crisp details, rich tones, and a timeless finish that's made to be enjoyed for years to come.

What printing method do you use?

Every map art is professionally produced using high-resolution pigment printing to achieve exceptional detail, accurate colours, and long-lasting quality.

What are the frames made from?

We pair our map art with carefully selected IKEA frames, chosen for their clean, timeless design and reliable quality.

Each frame features a durable fibreboard construction, a pH-neutral mount to help preserve your map art, and a clear polystyrene front that's lightweight, shatter-resistant, and safer than glass. Every framed piece arrives ready to hang.

Why choose Plotlyn?

Every map we create begins with a meaningful story. Rather than producing generic map prints, we thoughtfully personalise each map to celebrate the places that matter most – whether it's where you grew up, found love, or reached a lifelong goal.

From design to delivery, every piece is crafted with care to become a keepsake you'll be proud to display for years to come.
