CafePress Acquires Imagekind

Mr. Eldon over at VentureBeat is reporting that CafePress has acquired Imagekind. CafePress allows you to create custom printed items like t-shirts, hats and mugs. Imagekind is an art marketplace for original and reprinted artwork. We used CafePress for some CN buttons which came out great but the party t-shirts we ordered weren’t so hot.

Eldon says the acquisition price is in the $15-20 million range. Imagekind raised $2.6 million in early 2007.

This deal brings distribution to both sides and could allow for a whole new line of products from CafePress.
