Where Do Stickers Look Best on E-Skateboards?

Customizing a skateboard is more than changing wheels, racks, or other parts. You can add aesthetic accessories like stickers, or paint your deck in a variety of colors. The great thing about it is that you have all the styling options and combinations to show your personality. But you have to keep in mind that there are limits to how you can apply these designs to your Electric Skateboard.

Let's say you see an Amazon post with a hundred sticker packs. The first question you might ask is, "Where should the sticker be placed?". Ideally, these pieces of art can be affixed to the surface of the treads or the bottom of the deck. Read on for everything I've shared about skateboard stickers. The best place to put skateboard stickers is on the deck, so where exactly can you put stickers?

Bottom: The bottom surface of the Veymax Skateboard is also called the graphic side. This spot is where the logo is usually placed with other heat transfer designs. Here you can put cool skateboard stickers almost anywhere you want.

If there's one place you can't use your stickers, it's on trucks and wheels. Applying skateboard decals in these locations may experience performance-related issues. Also, you don't want to struggle to clean up the adhesive residue from these designs after you decide to pull them out.

On the tread surface: Riding a skateboard with stickers under your feet is visually soothing. In addition to the scenic route, you can also enjoy a custom skateboard of your own design. But like the previous position, there are restrictions on putting stickers on the skateboard. In this case, if you plan to use solid color non-slip tape, you cannot apply the sticker to the top of the deck. You also can not put stickers on grip tape.

Therefore, the best solution is to use clear non-slip tape. Note, however, that the stickers should be placed under clear tape. So you still get 100% gravel coverage on your skate deck.

Also, stickers behind non-slip tape won't last as long compared to sticking them on a smooth surface.

Now that you know the best places to install your decals, it's time to learn best practices for putting them on your skateboard. Please pay attention to these steps.

  • Clean any accumulated dust and grime from the bottom of the slide. You can use a damp cloth or any cleaner to make sure the deck is very clean.
  • Draw the sticker where you want it, but don't peel off the non-adhesive side yet.
  • After determining the location of the sticker, start removing the non-adhesive side of the sticker from the corner.
  • Place the exposed part of the sticker on the deck according to your planned location.
  • Use a card or any similar object to sweep over the sticker while pulling on its non-adhesive side. This way, you will eliminate air bubbles in the process.
  • Use the blade to cut off any part of the sticker that extends beyond the edge of the deck.

These steps apply whether you are installing the decals on the bottom of the deck or its treads. But as mentioned before, you can't apply the stickers while the tape is already in place on the deck. Therefore, the best way to apply stickers on the tread surface of a deck is to install them before the non-slip tape. To make sure you don't waste money, use clear non-slip tape.

There are many options for skateboard sticker ideas. From simple designs featuring text or logos, to detailed illustrations and artwork that tell a story, the possibilities are endless. Popular skateboard stickers usually depict cartoon characters and animals, abstract symbols or creative text in bright colors. For an element of personal expression, consider customizing your own unique design by incorporating your name or initials into the design.

To reach a wider audience with a single design, consider creating something that can be interpreted differently by different people. Whatever you choose to put on your board should reflect your character and style, while also being able to withstand the weathering that comes with outdoor skating. Decorate your board with whatever makes you feel most comfortable. After all, this is your board, and you should enjoy expressing yourself with its design. Have fun coming up with skateboard sticker ideas that reflect your unique personality.

Whichever designs you choose to attach to your board, they need to be high-quality vinyl stickers that can withstand the wear and tear of physical activity. High quality skateboard stickers also last longer in rain and sun without fading or peeling. Once you get your custom skateboard decals, make sure to apply a coat of clear laminate protector to keep them looking new even in the harshest conditions. With these tips in mind, you can create unique skateboard stickers that will last a lifetime.

Why Put Stickers on Skateboards?

Skaters often put stickers on their skateboards as a way to express themselves and pay tribute to brands they admire or are passionate about. By customizing the look of the board, skaters can create their own unique look. Additionally, the placement of skateboard graphics can mean different things. For example, placing a person's name in the center of a chessboard might represent ownership of that board, while placing a symbol or brand near the bottom might indicate loyalty or support. At the end of the day, putting stickers on a skateboard is a way of self-expression, allowing riders to show their style and make a statement with every ride.

By participating in this tradition, skaters also express their appreciation for skateboarding culture and the hard work of those who develop and promote it. Whether used to decorate a blank canvas or pay homage to a specific brand, stickers are a great way for skaters to show support for their community and what it stands for. As such, skateboard graphics play an important role in elevating the art form by giving skaters an additional outlet to express themselves and celebrate their love of skateboarding.

At the end of the day, putting stickers on skateboards isn’t just about making them look cool — it’s a way for skaters to express their passion and style while paying homage to skateboarding’s rich heritage. Skateboarders around the world look to this special tradition as one that builds community, creates conversation, and helps spread the sport. So if you're looking for a way to express yourself and your love for skateboarding, stickers are a great way to do it. Of course, you can start with this Easter egg theme now!
