If you’re someone who loves to unwind with jigsaw puzzles, there’s a good chance you’ve either tried a Springbok puzzle or seen one in the wild. At The Puzzle Center, we proudly carry this iconic brand because it blends creativity, challenge, and craftsmanship in a beautiful way. Whether you’re shopping for 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles for adults or looking for something unique to gift, Springbok Puzzles offers something special—and it’s all made in the USA.
A Legacy of Creativity Since 1963
Springbok puzzles have a long and storied history. The brand was founded in 1963 by Robert and Katie Lewin, two puzzle lovers who wanted to do something different. Inspired by circular jigsaws they discovered in London, they began creating puzzles that featured artistic designs and non-traditional shapes. Their attention to detail and imaginative approach helped set Springbok apart in a market that had grown a little too predictable.
By 1967, Hallmark Cards had acquired the brand, making Springbok a staple in Hallmark stores across the country. For more than three decades, puzzlers could count on Springbok for well-crafted, beautiful jigsaw puzzles that offered both challenge and charm. In 2002, Allied Products took over production and has remained committed to preserving Springbok’s legacy while evolving its product line.
Why Springbok Puzzles Stand Out
There are a lot of puzzle brands out there, but Springbok puzzles continue to be a top choice for both new and experienced puzzlers. One reason is their unwavering focus on quality. These puzzles are made with chipboard that’s 18% thicker than most, making each piece sturdy and durable. If you’ve ever worked on a cheap jigsaw puzzle with flimsy pieces, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
Each Springbok puzzle is crafted using precision-cut dies, which means every piece locks in perfectly. This tight fit makes even large jigsaw puzzles easier to assemble and more satisfying to complete. The image quality is equally impressive. Printed on acid-free paper with an aqueous coating, the puzzles showcase vibrant, high-gloss imagery that pops off the table. From art puzzles to photo puzzles, Springbok’s catalog is filled with stunning visuals that make the process of puzzling just as enjoyable as the end result.
If you're someone who’s always on the hunt for cool jigsaw puzzles or puzzles for adults with personality, you’ll appreciate Springbok’s collection. They feature everything from nostalgic Americana scenes to abstract designs, often created in collaboration with well-known artists or brands like Crayola and Coca-Cola.
A Sustainable Puzzle Company
Springbok puzzles aren’t just fun—they’re eco-friendly too. As one of the only major jigsaw puzzle companies that manufacture exclusively in the United States, Springbok has made sustainability a core part of its mission. The chipboard used in their puzzles and packaging is made from 100% recycled materials, with 80-90% of it coming from post-consumer waste. Their printing process uses vegetable and soy-based inks, so there are no petroleum additives or harsh chemicals involved.
That means when you order a Springbok puzzle from our puzzle store, you’re getting a product that’s better for the environment without sacrificing quality. If you’re looking for artistic puzzles that support sustainable manufacturing, this brand checks all the boxes.
Shapes That Add Challenge
One of the features that longtime fans of Springbok puzzles rave about is the brand’s use of random cuts. Unlike the traditional grid cut used by many other companies, Springbok puzzles offer a more unpredictable and engaging puzzling experience. Every piece has a unique shape, which means you’ll rely less on guesswork and more on visual recognition and problem-solving.

This is especially appreciated by fans of challenging jigsaw puzzles or those looking for something beyond the standard rectangle-piece format. Whether you’re tackling a 300 piece jigsaw puzzle or going all in on a 2000 piece puzzle, the unusual cuts keep things interesting from start to finish.
Great for All Skill Levels and Occasions
Springbok puzzles are a go-to gift for birthdays, holidays, or just because. Their themed puzzles make them especially popular around the holidays. From classic Christmas puzzles with cozy winter scenes to springtime florals and patriotic summer themes, there’s always something seasonal to enjoy. For those who love the holidays, the 500 piece jigsaw puzzles in Springbok’s Christmas collection are always a hit.
They also make excellent options for group puzzling. Whether you’re gathering with family for the holidays or just spending a quiet evening with friends, a Springbok puzzle turns screen-free time into quality connection. And if you’re searching for jigsaw puzzles for seniors or larger piece puzzles that are easier to handle, Springbok’s thick, durable pieces are ideal.
