Choose label type for your vinyl center labels. White unprinted labels are included at no extra cost.

The sleeve holding the record inside the jacket — poly-lined for less static and scuffing, or printed to carry lyrics and credits.

Coated stock is smooth and sealed, so print comes out sharper; uncoated is matte and softer to handle. Card stock is stiffer than either.

How thick the paper is, in grams per square meter. Heavier stock resists creasing, but adds package depth and shipping weight.

The PVC bag ships clear, so the jacket underneath is what shows. Printing puts artwork on the bag itself — usually a logo or title over one corner, with the rest left transparent.

What the records are packaged in. A gatefold opens out to double the printable area; a triple gatefold folds out again. A hard-cover is case-bound over rigid board — a book rather than a folded jacket. A rigid box holds the records loose in their inner sleeves, or in jackets of their own. Hard-cover and rigid box are 12″ only.

The surface over the printed box. The same films a jacket can have — a box is printed paper wrapped over board, so it takes them all.

A decorative pass on the box. Spot varnish, embossing and debossing pick out one area; a die-cut cuts a window through the lid.

A 7″ printed sleeve is built either way. With a spine it is scored to stand proud and the width is chosen from what goes inside; without one it is a flat envelope at a single fixed size. Each takes its own artwork template.

A rigid box holds the records in their inner sleeves. You can also give each record a jacket of its own inside the box — one per record, priced per record, and each one takes its own artwork file.

The surface over each jacket inside the box, chosen independently of the box around them — a matte box holding gloss jackets is a common pairing. Applied to every jacket, so it is priced per record.

A decorative pass on each jacket inside the box. Also per record.

The board the jacket is printed on. 350g is stiffer than 300g; tip-on is a printed sheet wrapped onto a rigid board — the traditional construction, and the most substantial.

The inside face of the jacket — the surface you see when it is opened, and plain white board unless something is printed on it. One ink is the usual choice for lyrics and credits; full colour is a second press pass.

The surface over the printed jacket. Lamination adds a protective film — gloss lifts color, matte softens it — while reverse-side printing puts the uncoated face of the board outwards for a raw, tactile finish.

A decorative pass on top of the print finish. Spot varnish, embossing and debossing each pick out one area of the artwork; a die-cut removes part of the sleeve entirely.
The price covers up to 25% of the packaging surface — enough for a logo or a title block. Need more? Tell us after you order and we will re-quote it.

A printed sheet or stitched booklet inside the package — lyrics, credits, photographs. Counts are in pages, so a 2pp insert is one sheet printed both sides.

Coated stock holds photographic detail better; uncoated is matte and easier to read long text on.

How thick the paper is. Heavier feels better in the hand, but booklets with many pages are usually printed lighter so they still turn.

A printed outer case the jacket slides into. A slipcase is closed on three sides and open on one; an O-card is a band open at both ends, so the jacket edges stay visible.

Printed board is the standard and takes the same finishes as the jacket. Printed PET is plastic — tougher and water-resistant.

The board the case is printed on. 350g holds its shape better on a heavy package; 300g is lighter and cheaper per copy.

The surface over the printed case, chosen independently of the jacket inside it — a matte case around a gloss sleeve is a common pairing.

A decorative pass on the case. A die-cut is the one worth thinking about here: a window in the case shows the jacket underneath.

A printed paper strip carrying the release information. A bellyband wraps the whole way around; a belt obi folds over the spine and sits on the left edge.

The seal around the finished package. Shrink wrap is heat-sealed and tight; a polybag can be opened and closed again. Without either, the package ships unsealed, which we recommend against.

Required for retail distribution and D2C order fulfillment. You can skip it if your barcode is printed directly on artwork.
The price covers up to Ø50 mm round or 50 × 50 mm square — larger, or a shape not listed, is re-quoted with you after you order.

Artist, title, tracklist and barcode on sleeve.

Add an individual touch to every unit by stamping or printing a unique number on it — useful for personalisation or stressing the limited nature of the pressing.

If you would like us to insert an autographed piece of artwork into this package, select this option and you will be able to ship the signed items to our warehouse for collating.

Everything you've chosen, in one list. Worth a read now — changing a step is easy at this point and awkward after submission.

Which warehouse each part of the run ships to. VAT is charged by destination, so this changes your total — the rate that applies is shown on each line.

You're pressing — variants, and each one is configured independently — pay for one upfront, put another on pre-order, or split a third between the two. Every order goes through our team's review first: we verify your configuration and check asset compliance before releasing it for production.

Upload each track separately under its side. WAV 24-bit 44.1kHz+ or AIFF preferred. Duration is auto-read from each file.

PDF, AI, PSD, or TIFF only — minimum 300 DPI, CMYK or Spot (PMS) color, 3 mm bleed.

A visual of your record — sleeve, disc and label — built from your configurator choices. Two views: the front with the Side A label, and the back with Side B.
