Blank & Print-Ready Skateboard Decks

Order cold-pressed maple decks without a finished graphic. Choose the amount of machining and finishing your shop, printer, or project needs.

What Empire Supplies

From pressed uncut to finished print-ready blank.

Blank decks should not be treated as one generic product. A customer applying graphics in-house needs a different surface and preparation level than a builder ordering uncuts or a shop stocking finished natural decks.

Pressed UncutsCold-pressed deck stacks supplied before final drilling, perimeter cutting, sanding, or finishing when the project and quantity support it.
Drilled or Shaped BlanksDecks machined to an Empire shape or approved production specification, with drilling and perimeter work completed.
Fully Sanded BlanksMachined decks with edge routing, drum sanding, and final preparation completed before sealing or printing.
Heat-Transfer-Ready DecksClear-coated and prepared for a compatible heat-transfer process according to the agreed production specification.

Common Questions

Before requesting pricing

What quantities are available?

Small retail packs may be available through the store, while production quantities are quoted according to construction, shape, finish, and inventory.

Can I choose natural or dyed veneer?

Natural and dyed veneer options may be available for top, bottom, or internal plys depending on inventory, quantity, and the construction program.

What does heat-transfer-ready mean?

It means the deck has been sanded, sealed, and clear-coated to the agreed surface specification before the transfer is applied. The exact coating and process must match the printing system.

Can Empire drill my custom hole pattern?

Project-specific drilling may be possible when the quantity supports programming, fixtures, and production testing.
