Abstract
A method is shown for manufacturing a skateboard having an upper and lower surface. A pre-printed label is applied to the board lower surface by a suitable adhesive so that the outer periphery of the label matches the contours of the board lower surface. The label is then sealed by applying a suitable coating to protect the label.

A method of manufacturing a skateboard of the type having an upper surface on which the user stands and having a contoured lower surface provided with rollers which support the board to permit the board to travel with the user thereon, the lower surface also having a decorative marking applied thereto, the method comprising the steps of:
- applying a label to the board lower surface by means of a suitable adhesive, the label having an outer periphery which matches the contours of the board lower surface so that the label substantially covers the board lower surface when applied thereto;
- and
- applying a sealant coating to the label and board to protect the label.

- applying an adhesive to the lower surface of the board to form an adhesive surface thereon;
- centering a label on the adhesive surface, the label having an outer periphery which matches the contours of the board lower surface so that the label substantially covers the board lower surface when applied thereto;
- applying a compressive force to the label and board to smooth out and improve the adherence of the label to the board;
- and
- applying a sealant coating to the label and board to protect the label.
