What to have ready

Five things decide the price and the date. Bring what you have and the team fills in the rest with you.

  1. Format and quantity

    Which size, and how many. Runs start at 100 units for both the 7 inch and the 12 inch.

  2. The package

    Labels, sleeves and inners, black or color vinyl. The four packages on the configurator are the starting points rather than the only shapes.

  3. Audio and artwork

    Audio, and artwork built to the specs sheet. That means print ready, 300 dpi CMYK with bleed.

  4. Where it ships

    UK shipping and VAT are included, and global shipping options are available.

  5. Your timing

    Typically 5 to 6 weeks from approved assets to shipping. Colored vinyl and a complex sleeve can add to that.

Every package from 100 units includes 10 test pressings, and you approve the test pressing before we press the run.
