Sometimes your release needs an extra special packaging to give it more value. We are happy to advise you about the possibilities. You could consider a 'mounted' sleeve, made of extra thick board (1 mm thick) and mounted by hand, just like they did in the old days. Or a custom made box, for which many variations are possible. What we also offer is adding a CD or DVD to your product (which you supply to us). We can for example stick a roset to the inside of a gatefold to which we attach the CD/DVD insert. Please contact us on info@recordindustry.com for more information.

We can press records with laser-etched designs. The designs are lasered onto the lacquer. From that lacquer a negative, positive and stampers are made. The side with the laser-etched design does not have any audio.

A laser-etched record will give the best result if there are not too many large surfaces in the design. You can make up the design as a simple black and white document, the 'black' will be the area which will be lasered. Please use the template for supplying us the design, to make sure it is centred (the template can be found under artwork specs). The design can be supplied as a HighRes PDF, Jpeg or in Adobe illustrator format. We press a laser-etched record with a label on both sides (to prevent a warped record and pulled up middle hole) and preferably on 180-gram vinyl.

With a UV print you can combine the best of both worlds: excellent audio on one side and a sharp, unique print on the flip side. We advise to print on clear or white vinyl, as these give the best results. For more information about the options, please contact us on info@recordindustry.com

We offer a large variety of vinyl colours to choose from. With transparent and opaque colours available, we are confident that you will find the perfect colour for your release.

To inspire you we have selected some of the best colour combinations for you; however the outcome cannot be guaranteed and can differ per order as the colour percentages differ per record. On our 12" and 10" presses, mixing colours can result in a flamed effect, but on our 7" presses it will result in a new colour (due to a different mixing and heating process in the press itself).

It is also possible to combine colours in one order, for example 200 black, 200 red and 200 blue, without any extra charges other than the set-up charges and the standard extra charges per record for coloured vinyl (please check 'costs').

Note: Although our coloured vinyl has a very high quality standard, audio pressed on non-black vinyl is more susceptible to higher noise levels and/or clicks in the lead-in and lead-out grooves, or on quiet parts of the recording.
