Vinyl Pressing FAQ
What is the minimum vinyl order?
Our minimum order quantity is 100 records, making vinyl accessible for independent artists, labels and limited-edition releases.
How long does vinyl production take?
Vinyl production typically takes around 8–12 weeks from approval of your artwork, audio and test pressings. Timings can vary depending on the specification and time of year.
Do you offer test pressings?
Yes. Test pressings allow you to check the sound quality before the full production run begins, they are always black, despite ordering colour versions. We usually supply 3–4 black test pressings.
What audio files should I supply?
Please supply WAV or AIFF files, ideally at 24-bit/44.1 kHz or higher. Files should be clearly labelled and provided in the correct running order for each side.
How much music can fit on a vinyl record?
For a 12-inch record at 33⅓ RPM, we recommend approximately 16–20 minutes per side. Longer sides are possible, but they may result in reduced volume and sound quality.
