Locate a company that prints skateboard decks. Zazzle and Skatepaige.com are companies that print designs on blank skateboard decks. Zazzle has an Internet application that allows you to design your skateboard using its website, but Skatepaige.com requires you to email a sample design to the company.
Design your skateboard deck. Using the skateboard design application on Zazzle's website, or an image program on your computer, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or Pixelmator, create a design for your skateboard deck. Add any pictures, drawings, text and designs that you would like on your skateboard deck. If you are creating a skateboard deck using Zazzle, the image that you upload into the design application should be 9 inches by 33 inches and should have a resolution of at least 300 ppi. Contact Skatepaige.com to inquire about any particular specifications for a sample design based on the size of skateboard deck that you choose.
Choose your skateboard deck size. Zazzle allows you to print on a 7 3/4-inch wide skateboard deck. Skatepaige.com allows you to print on a range of different sizes, starting at 7 1/2 inches to 10 1/2 inches.
Complete you order and purchase your skateboard deck. A basic skateboard deck from a company like Zazzle costs about $60 as of summer 2010, and there is no set-up fee or minimum order amount, which means that you can order just one skateboard deck if you choose. Skatepaige.com requires you to order at least 20 decks, a $50 fee as of summer 2010 for each color on your design other than the base color and an additional $2 fee per color on each skateboard deck. The total cost of a skateboard deck order from Skatepaige.com will be provided when a company representative contacts you after receiving your sample design.
