About
Custom Skateboards is a US-based print-on-demand skateboard design and manufacturing platform that has been in business for 25 years. The service allows anyone — from individual skaters and artists to brands and retailers — to create fully custom skateboard decks, longboards, old school decks, mini cruisers, and custom grip tape by uploading their own artwork through an online design studio. Single decks start at just $20, with bulk pricing as low as $15 per deck, making it accessible for both personal projects and wholesale orders. The platform offers a wide variety of deck shapes, sizes (7.5" to 8.5"), and concave profiles, including medium concave, steep concave, coffin/pool, and more. Users can also order custom wheels, blank decks, bearings, skateboard shipping boxes, and branded merchandise. The built-in art studio lets users manage multiple designs in a single order with no setup hassles, and same-day / expedited rush production options are available. The site also supports a free online shop feature so designers can showcase and sell multiple designs. All boards are cut fresh to order in the USA using American and Canadian maple. Custom Skateboards is ideal for skaters, artists, brands, retailers, and anyone looking to create unique, high-quality custom skateboard products at competitive prices.
