VINYL PRESSING
Fast & international shipping - 5 to 6 weeks turnaround
We have choosen new equipments and infrastructures with optimized energy efficiency to guarantee consistency in production and premium quality records. Most of our waste is recycled in the production process.
Special care to each disc
Unlike production with automatic press, we have a visual control on each of the discs that comes out of the mold. We can thus control them as closely as possible, and customize them for example by adding colors to make splatters.
