This looks like a really interesting way to make flexible circuits. It uses some specialty printers and materials, but the author does list alternative solutions. These circuits are ideal for applications where weight and/or size is critical. Check out the instructable for a nice step-by-step tutorial.

Produce your own single-sided flexible printed circuits using a solid ink printer, copper-coated polyimide film, and common circuit board etching chemicals.

However, few shops yet make custom flex PCBs for reasonable prices in small volumes
