Picture Discs

Picture Discs

Picture discs are printed material sandwiched between a clear plastic compound into which the grooves are pressed.

Popular since the early 70s, all record collections should have a picture disc or two in their midst. Especially suited to limited edition pressings and collectors items. We offer a range of special packaging options for picture discs, just ask!

Orders start from 250 units.

Picture Disc with Colour Base

Around the edge of your picture disc labels, the colour of the vinyl will be visible.

Do you have a light colour picture disc label design and want to avoid the black ring around the edge, well you can now choose which base colour to use for your picture discs.

Picture Disc with Metallic Labels

Have your picture disc labels shine with a metallic label. Available with a CMYK printed design.

Available in either gold or silver, these labels really stand out and elevate a picture disc design.

Shaped Picture Discs

Shaped vinyl is also possible with picture discs, to really create a product that looks like it shouldn't be a record.

Have you got an idea for your release, where you don't want it to look like a traditional record, well you can create something that from the offset doesn't look like a record at all, with a shaped picture disc.

Zoetrope Records

Create a design that comes to life when on the turntable.

There is nothing more mesmerising than watching a zoetrope record spin, and the images start to animate. This is undoubtedly one of the coolest vinyl effects out there!

Extra Test Pressings

Need more than 5 test pressings? Not a problem! 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.
