Acid Etched Vinyl in Outer Sleeves

Acid etching is the original, traditional method of etching vinyl records. Vinyl acid etching is more subtle than laser etching, and is better quality too, in our humble opinion.

Your records are pressed from an etched copper plate which only carries a one-time production fee, making larger vinyl runs super cost effective. Ask us about etch testing too!

Orders start from 250 units.

Screen Printed Vinyl in Outer Sleeves

When a mirror finish or silent groove just won't do. If you're only pressing one side of audio, consider spicing up your release with a creative design screen-printed to the B side.

Especially cost effective for shorter runs, we can screen-print your records up to full colour as you require. We recommend opting for small centre labels to maximise the printable area.

Orders start from 250 units.

UV Printed Records

UV printed vinyl records are the future of surface effect records. There are plenty of circumstances where you may wish to embellish the B side of your vinyl records with some artwork, and UV printing is one of the most flexible options.

Opt for a transparent vinyl base so that your design displays through the grooves, and colour your artwork white anywhere you'd like to utilise the base colour within your vinyl design.

Product Options

Add style, durability and attention to detail, while increasing the value of your records.

You can select between these options when making an enquiry or placing an order above.

Test Pressings

Test pressings are the first records created from the metalwork, used to evaluate the quality, volume levels and listen for any untoward pops, clicks or excessive sound artefacts before mass production begins. We always recommend requesting test pressings with your order and listening carefully on a number of different turntables before approving production of the main run.

Runout Engraving

Make your mark on your records by engraving your artist, label or company name into the runout groove.

Colour Effect Vinyl

Stand your release aside from the crowd with 16 different vinyl colour effects to choose from, plus countless combinations.

Colour Split Pressings

Make your pressings more unique and collectable with different colour variants. Have you considered offering a limited edition indie exclusive?
