Ever wondered how those grooves on a vinyl tell you where one track ends and another begins? In our latest video, Molly breaks down how visible grooves on a vinyl record can help both fans and pressing plants navigate track placement, sequencing, and playability.

The runout groove... that mysterious little space between the music and the label... isn’t just dead wax. It’s prime real estate for hidden messages.

It’s the kind of detail that takes a release from good to unforgettable. And yep, we can help make it happen.

From polished and punchy to raw and rustic, we know that the feel of your packaging matters just as much as the sound of your record. That’s why we offer materials to suit every vibe.

Got an idea in mind? Get in touch – we’d love to help make it a reality.

Young Knives have released a super-limited neon 12” of “Your Car Has Arrived” - with every penny of profit going to the RNLI. We were particularly glad to play a part in getting this one made. There's only 250 copies of this beautiful, emotional release - each signed and numbered by the band.

Small pressing runs don’t have to mean big risks. With the right approach to pricing and planning, they can often cover their own costs - and even lay the groundwork for future sales. Get in touch to talk through your options at [email protected]
