Your manufacturing partner for iconic physical media.
We make vinyl and CDs for artists, labels and agencies — and we design what goes around them. Short runs to large ones, classic black to picture discs and liquid-filled records, and the box sets and packaging that make a release a timeless collector item.
Who we are
Everything a release needs to exist in the world: vinyl, CD, and the packaging that carries them, manufactured in Europe. Our creative design studio works beside you from the first idea, architecting a vision into something you can hold — specified, engineered and made as one job rather than five.
One partner, concept to pallet
Creative direction is part of the service, not an extra. Bring us a release, a campaign or a half-formed idea and we will shape it, specify it and manufacture it: vinyl, CD, special pressings, custom packaging and box sets.
One stop only for physical music media. Manufacturing in Europe.
The best hands at every stage
Cutting, plating, pressing, printing and finishing each go to specialists we have chosen and worked with across ten years in this industry. That is how a release arrives right, on the date we said — and how the price stays honest, because you are paying for the work rather than a chain of middlemen.
The studio
From first idea to mock-up and print-ready artwork.
Campaigns
Artwork that has to hold up as a 12" sleeve, a digipak, a poster and a thumbnail. We design the whole set, not one image and five crops.
Special editions
Numbered runs, alternate sleeves, obi strips, die-cuts, foils and boards chosen for how they age. The kind of edition people keep rather than play.
Structure
Box sets and slipcases have to fold, glue and survive a pallet. Drawn as an object first, decorated second.
What it costs
One call to scope the release, three distinct directions to choose between, and a round of revisions on the one you pick. Further rounds, extra formats and anything more involved are priced in the quotation, so the whole cost sits on one page before you commit.
From €990 · Complete design service, per release.
A record is more than a file.
Pressing with us? Advice on what is possible — formats, finishes, what artwork can and cannot survive — comes with the job. We do not charge for it. A standalone studio session, for agencies and designers who want that conversation without the production, is available on request. Prices are net of VAT.
Your creative options
Picture discs, liquid-filled records, splatter, split colours, marbled effects and finishes that do not have a name yet. Multi-record box sets and custom packaging too. We would rather hear an ambitious idea than a safe one.
CDs, on their own or with your vinyl
- Printed your way
- Screen print for type, Pantone and metallic inks; offset for photographs and fine detail. On a white base, or straight onto the silver.
- Packed to match
- From a paper sleeve or card wallet to a digisleeve, digifile, digipak or jewel case with booklet, and a brilliant box for double CDs.
- Quick to turn around
- About three to four weeks, from 100 copies: no lacquer to cut and no test pressing to wait for. Up to 80 minutes of audio per disc.
Sustainability, kept honest
A record is a physical object, and making one costs something. We cut that where it is measurable, and we are straight with you about where it is not.
The plants we work with
Price is not the only thing we ask about. Partners are chosen on what happens to offcuts and regrind, what is done with process water and waste heat, and how the people running the presses are treated. A plant that will not answer those questions is not a partner.
140g first, always
180g does not sound better. Choosing 140g takes about 22% of the PVC out of the record, and PVC is the largest single part of its footprint. We quote 140g as standard and say why. 180g is yours if you want it — as a choice, not a default.
Less packaging, fewer journeys
Shrink wrap is an option, not an automatic. Paper inner sleeves wherever the record allows. Orders consolidated onto as few pallets as the run permits — and collection straight from the plant if you would rather move it yourself.
What we are not claiming
No B Corp certificate, no offset programme, no impact report. The company is too new to have earned any of them honestly, and buying one would tell you nothing. What we do have is this site running on renewable power — verified by the Green Web Foundation, not self-declared — and the habit of quoting the lighter record first.
The questions we get first
Short answers. The FAQ has the long ones.
- How does an order work?
- Describe the project in the configurator, or just write to us. You get a written quote back, usually within a couple of working days. Approve it, send audio and artwork, and we cut a lacquer and press test pressings for you to sign off. Then the run goes ahead, and we tell you where it stands at each stage.
- What do you actually make?
- Records and the objects around them. Vinyl in the formats and finishes we can source, CDs, and packaging from a plain sleeve to a rigid box set — plus the design, if you want it. The studio can take a release from a rough idea to print-ready files, drawn against the real die-line rather than corrected at the plant.
- How long does it take?
- Around six to eight weeks from a confirmed order with complete, approved files. That is the standard, not the limit. If you are working to a release date, a tour or a campaign, tell us the deadline before you write the project off — we will say honestly whether it can be done, and we like being asked. Either way you get a realistic date with the quote rather than an optimistic one.
- Is there a minimum quantity?
- Yes — 200 copies. Below that the setup costs swamp the run and the per-unit price stops making sense for anyone. Above it there is no ceiling, and the per-unit price falls as the run grows, so it is often worth asking for two quantities side by side.
- Do I have to take test pressings?
- Strongly recommended, and five are included in every package. Waiving them means approving a record nobody has heard, and it limits what can be claimed if the pressing disappoints.
- What about VAT and shipping?
- The prices shown on this site are net and ex works — no VAT, no shipping. Your actual quotation arrives as a PDF by email and can differ: VAT is added where it is chargeable, which depends on where you are and whether you have a valid VAT number, and shipping is priced once we have the full delivery address. Both appear as their own lines, so nothing is folded into the unit price.
