ZAZZLE® LAUNCHES CUSTOM SKATEBOARDS ON-DEMAND
Redwood City, CA – August 27, 2008 – Zazzle, (www.Zazzle.com), the only on-demand retail platform for consumers and major brands, today announced the launch of custom skateboards. Developed in collaboration with the Zazzle engineering team and Andy Howell, former pro skateboarder and founder of ARTSPROJEKT, a unit of Zazzle, custom skateboards will be produced within 24 hours of ordering, a first for the industry.
Zazzle worked with Howell to develop the skateboard technology platform, and partnered with the best in the business to offer a unique and comprehensive product offering. Skateboard decks are seven-ply North American maple and Zazzle's patent-pending manufacturing process is the first to utilize new printing technologies for one-off custom skateboard decks, producing a beautifully vibrant image.
Consumers are able to choose from a wide variety of pre-designed decks by Zazzle's seller community and content partners at www.zazzle.com/skateboards, or design skateboards from scratch at www.zazzle.com/custom/skateboards, by uploading their own art, images and text to create the board they desire, instantly. The consumer experience to create-your-own custom skateboard or choose from an extensive array of pre-designed skateboard templates is intuitive, and products are viewable in real time, allowing consumers to view all elements of the skateboard as they design.
