Welcome to Stoked Skins
We are located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains (Invermere, BC, Canada) where snowboarding and skiing is a way of life. Our company is family run and we have been printing and designing for over 25 years. With Stoked Skins our goal was to create an affordable way to protect all types of boards from scratches and dings.
We already own a sticker company called Stickernut and have the technology and professional designers in place, so we naturally branched out. We source the best 3M digital vinyl available; it is very easy to apply, won't shrink, and comes off without a lot of hassle. We print with the latest HP Latex technology. Why does that make a difference? Solvent based inks are harmful to the environment and release VOC's (thats the chemical you can smell with some plastic products). With latex ink we create no VOC's.
Another reason we chose latex is for its ability to stretch. When you leave your cozy cabin to hit the slopes, there can be up to a 50 degree difference in temperature. This can wreak havoc for cheaper wraps. The material and laminate must have the ability to expand and contract quickly without losing adhesion: This is why you see a lot of stickers with cracks in them. Our 3M material can adapt to temperature swings from -60 to +107C.
