It can be textured to be bumpy or flat and painted in any color in a large number of possibilities. Under no threat of extinction, this fish provides a useful protein food to many regions throughout Southeast Asia.
We have the largest revolving stock of stingray in the U.S. marketplace.
We are always open to produce new prints and colors for clients that are past sampling and into production. Choose any color from the Pantone® color chart and or give us the image you would like printed on our production order.
Production orders take 30-45 days. In addition to the 10,000 currently stocked stingray skins we have 100,000 skins in crust to insure our delivery dates in any quantity.
Industry Specific
All of our stingray skins are very soft, actually some of the softest within the industry.
We use special chemicals and oils to insure the whitest diamond shaped eye/crowns and the most vibrant color without any green or yellow hues from using heavy chrome, inferior chemicals, or oils.
Multi-eye, row stone, or guitar straps are another commercially traded species of stingray, which are spotted eagle rays. The calcium deposit run vertically through the hourglass shape of these skins.
Finishes and Grading
Caviar (standard) finish stingray have bumps or beads that have not been altered from nature. Stingray skins have a unique diamond shape white eye/crown in the center of each skin which is actually a calcium deposit.
Each skin has two breathing holes located at the upper portion of each skin which is not considered in the grading. Stingray skins are only graded below the two breathing holes. Any area in-between the breathing holes are not considered. Stingray skins are measured from the widest area across.
Sanded or polished stingray skins are commonly referred to as shagreen and are used in furniture production, wall coverings, and those interested in luxurious finished products.
Sanding stingray skins will increase the price roughly 30% from the caviar finish, this is due to the fact that 30% of the skins will not adhere to the sanding and must be graded down or discarded.
Size and Availability
The most common sized stingray skin for production is an 11″ stingray skin. We stock 10,000 stingray skins within the U.S. in this size with 75 colors and prints. 15″ is the largest size that should be used in production.
Roughly 5% of stingrays caught in the wild will yield a 15″ skin. A 15″ stingray is also the same size stingray that killed our beloved Steve Erwin a few years ago.
