Important Custom Vinyl Pressing Information

Vinyl formats and colors:

  • All 7" and 12" records are available in your choice of standard black, random color, or colored vinyl
  • For colored vinyl you can choose:
    Transparent vinyl: red, blue, orange/gold, green, crystal clear, and coke clear.
    Transparent custom vinyl colors

    Opaque vinyl: blue, red, violet, & yellow
    Custom opaque vinyl color options
  • If you choose mixed color or random color then you are leaving the color of your records to chance. Any possible combination of colors could be mixed or used. Every record could be the same swirl of colors, or they could all be different. They might be red with purple polka dots or they may be dark colors or bright colors. Each record color will be a surprise, but that's the fun of choosing random color records!
  • All records (12" and 7") come with the standard small 1/4" center hole.
  • All records are engraved in the dead wax area with the Disc Makers assigned matrix number and the master cutting engineers initials. Should a side need to be recut for any reason there will also be a revision date and possibly a revision reference e.g. RE1 or RE2 engraved in the dead wax area.

Vinyl record weights:

  • Standard weight for a pressed 12" record averages between 140 and 150 grams, although the final weight is determined by your master content and vinyl color.
  • 180 grams is available for 12" formats in black vinyl only.
  • 180 gram 12" records run closer to 190 grams for most records.
  • The average weight for a 7" record is 40 grams.

Record speeds and allowable program times per side:

  • Please note that the longer your vinyl program is (i.e. the more minutes per side) the lower the volume of your records will be. This is due to the fact that in order to fit more music on the record, the grooves need to be closer together and shallower.
  • Recommended maximum program lengths:
    12" 33 1/3 RPM — 22 minutes per side.
    12" 45 RPM — 15 minutes per side.
    7" 33 1/3 RPM — 6 minutes per side.
    7" 45 RPM — 4.5 minutes per side.

We recommend 45 RPM for 7"records. While 33 1/3 RPM are possible they are sometimes prone to distortion. As a rule it's always better to come in a minute or two under the available time to ensure the best playback of the program.

To achieve quality vinyl production we recommend using a mastering house with significant vinyl mastering experience to prepare your supplied masters. Disc Makers has been offering vinyl post-production mastering for over 60 years. Click here for more information.

Vinyl pressing turn times:

  • Manufacturing of custom vinyl pressing. Please refer to our pricing page for the most current turn time.
  • Estimated production turn times are not guaranteed as the vinyl manufacturing production process is delicate and susceptible to manufacturing disruptions.
  • Rush options are not available at this time.

Test pressings:

  • Test pressings ship approximately 4-6 weeks after approval of your art proofs.
  • Test pressings are shipped to the delivery address entered at time of order, with a generic proof label and are packaged in unprinted inner sleeves.
  • Test pressings should not be used to gauge the quality of your mix or mastering work. Please make sure you are 100% happy with your recordings before submitting your master for vinyl manufacturing. If we need to create a new set of test pressings because of an error on the master you provided we will charge you $800 for mastering, plating, and a new set of test pressings.
  • Test pressings are only used to catch any possible defects introduced during the plating process. You should listen for things like skips, pops, locked groves that cause repeats or excessive distortion. Please listen to your test pressings on a quality turntable. Quiet pops and clicks are normal. Super loud ones are not.
  • Remember vinyl is meant to be dynamic - not “loud”. You should not expect your vinyl test pressings to be as “loud” as your digital files or CDs.
  • We offer professional vinyl mastering at affordable rates.

Audio files accepted for vinyl mastering:

  • 24- or 16-bit WAV files are preferred.
  • You can upload DDP files or other audio formats or mail in physical masters.
