Skateboard Stickers

Why Skaters Are Obsessed With Skateboard Stickers

Stickers have been part of skateboarding culture since day one. Every scratched-up deck, beat-up helmet and laptop lid tells a story. The stickers you slap on your gear say something about what you ride, who you rep and what crew you roll with.

It's not just about looks either. Skate stickers are a badge of honour. That Santa Cruz screaming hand? The Spitfire bighead? The Independent Iron Cross? These aren't random designs - they're icons that every skater recognises on sight. Sticking one on your board is like flying a flag at the park.

Whether you're building a collection or just want to customise your setup, skateboard stickers let you put your own stamp on your gear without spending big.

What Kinds of Skate Stickers Are There?

Die-Cut Stickers

Die-cut stickers are cut to the design's shape with no background material. They look clean and professional on any surface. Most brand logo stickers from Santa Cruz, Powell Peralta and Independent come as die-cuts. Perfect for decks and helmets where you want a tight, custom look.

Full Sheet and Rectangle Stickers

Your classic sticker shape. These usually feature brand logos, team graphics or artwork on a rectangular backing. Great for laptops, water bottles and skate cases. Brands like Toy Machine, Dogtown, and Alien Workshop create some of the most iconic full-sheet sticker designs in skateboarding.

Sticker Packs

If you want variety, grab a sticker pack. Packs from brands like Ace, Uma Landsleds and DSCO give you a mix of designs in one hit. Sticker packs are a solid value and let you cover more ground across all your gear.

Bumper and Car Window Stickers

Want to rep skateboarding on the road? Our Boardstore car window stickers are built bigger and tougher for outdoor use. The material is designed to withstand sun, rain, and highway speeds without peeling or fading.

Skateboard Sticker Options

For your deck - Go with die-cut stickers or smaller designs that fit between the grip tape and trucks. Vinyl material holds up better against scuffs and weather. Some skaters load the bottom of their deck, others keep it clean - your call.

For helmets and pads - Smaller stickers work best. Stick to flat surfaces and avoid covering vents. A couple of well-placed skate stickers on your helmet adds personality without getting in the way.

For laptops and bottles - This is where you go all out. Layer them up, overlap them, make it messy. The beauty of stickers is there are no rules. Mix your favourite skate brands with whatever else you're into.

For cars - Use the bigger stickers designed for outdoor surfaces. Our Boardstore window stickers are built for it. Slap one on and let everyone know what you're about.

FAQs About Skateboard Stickers

Is it okay to put stickers on a skateboard?

100%. Slapping stickers on your skateboard is one of the oldest traditions in the sport. Most skaters cover the bottom of their deck with stickers from their favourite brands. It doesn't affect how your board rides and it makes your setup look uniquely yours. Just avoid putting thick stickers on your grip tape where your feet go.

What kind of stickers go on skateboards?

Vinyl stickers and die-cut skateboard decals are the most popular. Vinyl material is durable and handles wear from skating. Die-cuts look cleaner because they follow the shape of the design. Brand logo stickers from Santa Cruz, Independent, Spitfire and Powell Peralta are the classics. Sticker packs are a good option if you want a mix of designs.

Where should I put stickers on my skateboard?

The bottom of your deck is prime real estate. Some skaters also stick them on their helmets, trucks and even the top of their boards around the edges. Avoid covering anything functional like wheel wells or truck hardware. The underside of your board is the go-to spot because it's a big, flat surface, and it shows off your stickers every time you kick up your deck.

Are skateboard stickers waterproof?

Most skateboard stickers are made from vinyl, which handles rain and moisture well. They won't dissolve if your board gets wet. That said, constant water exposure and heavy skating will eventually wear them down. For outdoor use on cars, make sure you grab stickers specifically built for that - our car window stickers are designed to handle the elements.

How do I remove stickers from my skateboard?

Heat them up with a hairdryer for 30 seconds to soften the adhesive, then peel slowly from one corner. Any leftover residue comes off with eucalyptus oil or a product like Goo Gone. Take your time, and they'll come off clean, leaving your deck ready for fresh stickers.

Can I get skateboard sticker packs?

Yeah, we stock sticker packs from brands like Ace, Uma Landsleds and others. Packs give you a range of designs in one purchase - usually anywhere from 5 to 15 stickers, depending on the brand. They're great value if you want to cover a lot of surface area or share some with your mates at the park.
