Custom Printed Wheels
Our flexible Custom Printed Skateboard Wheels program allows the same graphic to be printed on the many different types & sizes of wheels we carry. We create the films, burn our own plates and have multiple pad printers in-house, so our turnaround time is usually less than a week.

Custom Printed Wheels
Pad Printing
The ink gets transferred from an etched plate to a silicone pad. This silicone pad is then pressed on the surface of the skateboard wheel to apply the ink. This simple-sounding process is quite complex. From the making of the plates to the actual printing, every step has to be carefully monitored and controlled. Temperature, humidity, etch depth, pad hardness, thinner/ink mixture, and many other factors influence the skateboard wheel printing process.
1 to 6 Colors
Our pad printers can print up to 6 colors per graphic. We prefer printing spot colors but can print the four-color (CMYK) process. Keep in mind that a plate is required to make each color, so fewer colors in the graphic will reduce the setup and print fees per wheel. We do suggest but don’t require printing a white base under the ink colors to help reproduce colors correctly and give you the best looking custom printed skateboard wheels.
Multiple Sizes
We have configured our equipment to print the same graphic on multiple sizes of wheels. Please use the smallest size wheel printing template to create your art if you are going to order multiple sizes within the same graphic.

Type "d"
High grade T.D.I.( toluene diisocyanate) polyurethane with 101a inner and 99a outer. This wheel gives you the benefits of having softer polyurethane on the outer while having a harder polyurethane core: a quicker wheel that is not too hard. “Build to Order Program” 250 set minimum.
Type "PC"
High grade T.D.I.( toluene diisocyanate) polyurethane 98a outer. The inner core is made of a hard polymer, harder than our formula ‘D’, this allows for a slightly softer outer with a little more grip and a lightweight wheel. The polymer core and a thinned out bearing seat make for a lightweight wheel. “Build to Order Program” 250 set minimum.

Get these custom longboard wheels in an order as low as 25 sets in assorted sizes. Make sure to set your artwork up to fit all sizes.
If you want custom manufactured longboard wheels with more choices such as durometer, color, and custom shapes the minimum starts at 250-1000 sets. Significant mold charges may be required as well as a large minimum order for custom mold shapes. Longboard skateboard wheel manufacturing is quite complicated!
The internal core is injection molded while the outer is polyurethane that is gravity poured around the plastic core.
3d files are required to make custom molds. An engineer is usually required to make these files. IGES is the preferred file format.
