Product Set-Up: Skateboards
Skateboards have rolled into Artist Shops! We've joined forces with CCS to allow artists to create and sell custom skateboards.
About CCS
For over 30 years, CCS has been the premier destination for everything skate, snow, and street inspired. From the company's start in San Luis Obispo to its current home in Portland, the CCS catalog has become required reading for skateboarders and lovers of skate culture.

Setting up your Skateboard Design Files
There are a few things to remember when setting up your skateboard design files:
- You can create a Skateboard from your Primary File, but the design placement might not be optimized.
- For the most accurate placement, we recommend using the Skateboard Template below or a file that is 2700 x 9900 pixels JPG 300 DPI
- For our template, Photoshop is recommended, but any program that can edit a
. PSD file (like GIMP) can be used. - Tileable patterns or repeating designs are the easiest to work with.
- The file uploaded will be used for both sizes of Skateboard. The dotted lines in the template
show where both the smallest and largest board will be cropped. - However, the art file should cover the entire template including outside the "safe" printable area to add as much padding as possible.
- The same decks will be used for all product options.
