Unfortunately, we are unable to place an order of less than 250 vinyls or 100 CDs due to the market unsteadiness and shortages in materials.

We advise you to work closely with a professional sound engineer and graphic designer.

Please download and carefully read our specification guide (see below) so that you can provide us with artworks and masters in the good format.

Regarding artworks, we strongly advise you to check that their size is adapted to our template, colorimetry parameters and saturation to avoid too many back and forth with previews.

Our turnaround is, like for all vinyl pressing plants, fluctuant. We always focus to get the best turnaround time possible, and we are usually known as one of the quickest vinyl plants in the world. However please keep in mind that pressing vinyl record is a complicated process with a lot of unpredictable troubles which make small delays possible. Our vinyl manufacturing lead times are indicated on our homepage.

Regarding CD orders, our manufacturing lead times are approximately 3 weeks.

For both formats, please always plan your releases with a month of margin and note that the time taken for previews (or TPs for vinyl) approval is obviously not included in our announced lead times.

You must own the copyrights of the music and we need a Mechanical License to press your records, even for promotional CDs. From a legal perspective we are not allowed to launch your order before we have this license. You can request one from the copyright organization you are associated with, by example for France: SDRM, UK: PRS for Music, Germany: GEMA, Netherlands: BUMA.

The catalog number is a reference we use to classify the orders. You are free to choose it if your label did not already give you one. It can be for example the abbreviation of the name of the project/artist. Please make sure to use only capital letters, no space nor special characters.

In our standard production process, a % of the PVC waste in reuse for pressing.

We can offer “eco vinyl” with a PVC 100% made of waste from standard pressing, but this has an impact on the quality of the record.

Also, we can offer recycled paper for sleeves. Both options are on demand.

We do not propose an eco-paper for labels, but our inks are environmentally friendly.

We are shipping Worlwide with TNT/FEDEX for pallet shipments, DHL and several local transport companies for packages. We highly recommend you choose to send it by pallet whenever possible to ensure that the products are received in perfect condition.
