Vinyl Record Pressing in Australia

 

Why Use Our Vinyl Services?

The hunger for vinyl continues to grow, and we’re here to ensure Australian bands and labels have access to the highest quality records and covers. Our exclusive partnerships with high quality overseas manufactures means we can offer custom vinyl pressing in whatever colour, stock and finish you desire, with quick turnarounds. You can rest easy knowing that at every stage of the process, your work is being handled by experts who take as much care in the finished product as you would. Our prices include all shipping and duties, so when we give you a final per-unit price, there are no tricky hidden extras. Once exchange rates and delivery fees are taken into account, most of the time we are much cheaper and less stressful than sourcing from local or international suppliers yourself. We believe we have the best priced and highest quality custom vinyl pressing available in Australia. If you think you have a better price please let us know.

Covers/Inserts

It’s one thing to get vinyl pressed, it’s another to print the covers. We get calls almost every day from people left stranded by suppliers who can’t supply the record covers. Due to the size of the sheet, the forms needed and the specialised gluing required, there are only a few places that can offer high quality, offset-printed record covers. If you find yourself in this boat, we can help you out, but only with a very limited range of printing options. When you press your vinyl record with us, however, we can offer you a complete range of covers and inserts, printed and unprinted. If you’d like to know more please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Download Cards

Make it easy for your fans to download the record they just bought by inserting a download card into the record’s jacket. Each card will have a unique link which directs the purchaser to a custom page housing the downloadable audio file. Simply supply us your audio as MP3 (or your audio format of choice) and we’ll take care of the rest!

Test Pressing

Although not essential, we recommend that you choose to request a test pressing. If a test pressing is selected on your order, you’ll receive three records for you and your band mates to listen to and ensure the record sounds exactly as you imagined. Without a test press, you may save some time, but by default, you’ll be approving the one and only pressing.

What Do We Need From You

Please include a detailed cue sheet that specifies:
• track numbers and sides

We recommend the following maximum playing times:

12 inches:
Up to 14 minutes at 45 rpm and up to 24 minutes at 33 rpm.
For DJ applications up to 9 minutes at 45 rpm and up to 15 minutes at 33 rpm.
