VINYL PRODUCTION TIMELINE

Your Vinyl's Journey: From Our Studio to Your Turntable

Creating a vinyl record is a craft of precision that requires time, passion, and expertise. Because we want you to be part of every step of its creation, here is the detailed journey of your order.

 

1. Project Launch & Pre-Orders

It all starts here. We finalize the design, choose the record's colors, and select the packaging type. This is usually when we launch Pre-Orders. By ordering now, you reserve your limited edition copy before it even leaves the factory and directly support the artist’s work.

 

2. Audio Mastering & Test Pressings (TPs)

The sound is optimized specifically for the unique dynamics of vinyl. To ensure perfect quality, we have "Test Pressings" made. These are the very first physical records. We listen to them on high-fidelity turntables to validate every groove before giving the green light for full production.

 

3. Color Proofing

The joy of vinyl is visual as well as auditory. During this phase, we receive and approve high-definition printing proofs. We double-check the colors of your gatefold, inner sleeves, and center labels to make sure the physical object you receive looks exactly as beautiful as it did on your screen.

 

4. Factory Pressing & Estimated Shipping Date

Once we have officially approved both the sound (TPs) and the visuals, the factory begins mass production. At this exact moment, we receive an Estimated Departure Date from the factory. We then update our shipping info to provide you with a clear and realistic delivery window.

 

5. Shipping Session & Delivery

Production is complete, and the records have reached our warehouse! We inspect every copy and prepare your packages using reinforced mailers specifically designed for vinyl. This is the long-awaited moment when your order is shipped and begins its final journey to your collection.
