In the 1st step your music is cut into lacquers or copper blanks (DMM). Usually, we do the mastercuts in our in-house mastering studio, but you can also provide lacquers, DMMs, or mothers from other cutting studios or pressing plants.
Then we galvanize your mastercuts to get a nickel negative (stamper or matrix). These negatives are directly used for pressing without any additional copying step (One-Step-Galvanics). We will store your stampers for 3 years after last pressing for represses and then recycle them.
Please, note our Audio Specifications.

Do 180g records sound better? - Our opinion: No!
Also on 140g standard vinyl you get the same high end sound quality. Nevertheless, heavy weight records do convey a higher-quality haptic impression.
All records -even single-sided ones- need labels on both sides. We offer invidually printed labels with or without Pantone colors, and plain white, black, red, gold, and silver labels. All labels are made of FSC certified paper and offset printed. Here You can find our Graphic Specifications.
Different materials, designs, embossings, punchings, finishings and special colors possible upon request. Here you can find our Graphic Specifications.
