Single copy and small run

Make your vinyl record

We can make your vinyl in a single copy, limited units (max 9 pieces) or small runs (from 10 to 50 pieces). With the Vinilificio app you can calculate the cost of your order (max 9 pieces for each album), simulate your vinyl, upload the audio, create your own artwork and place your order.

Processing time

Processing and shipping times are calculated from the date of payment and depend on the quantity ordered, the duration of the disc, whether or not there are printed covers, and the order launch period,

Processing times currently vary between 20 and 50 working days (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excluded). The expected shipping date will be communicated by email within one working day after receipt of order.

Manufacturing vinyl is a highly crafted job that requires time, attention and extreme care. We do our best to meet the needs of each customer, but please consider that manufacturing good vinyl records needs time. If you have special needs do not hesitate to contact us.

We print single copies (or small runs) of labels, covers (300 g art print), inner sleeves, inlay, for single, double, single-cover or gatefold vinyl in all formats.

How much does it cost to record a vinyl?

Recording music on vinyl requires sophisticated equipment, in-depth technical knowledge, materials and above all attention, care and time.
For example, to cut a 30-minute record, it takes between 40 minutes and an hour. That is 30 minutes for cutting (equal to the duration of the master) and between 10 and 30 minutes for set-up (depending on the condition of the master and the colour of the vinyl).
The costs for engraving vary between € 20.00 and € 90.00 depending on the size of the vinyl, colour and duration (minutes) of the master.

How much music can you record on vinyl?

The amount of music engraved onto each side of a vinyl disc determines the volume of the recorded signal.

The groove of the vinyl record takes up more space when engraved at high volume, while it takes up less space when etched at low volume.

(-) each side = (+) volume

(+) each side = (-) volume

The best quality-quantity proportion is:

• 12″ to 33 rpm ​​at high volume max. 12 min.
• 12″ to 45 rpm at high volume max. 8 min.
• 10″ to 33 rpm ​​at high volume max. 8 min.
• 10″ to 45 rpm at high volume max. 6 min.
• 7″ to 45 rpm at high volume max. 4 min.

Quality-quantity ratio for 12″ 33 rpm:

• over 12 min. each side -> high volume
• 12 / 15 min. each side -> middle high volume
• 12 / 15 min. each side -> middle high volume
• 15 / 20 min. each side -> middle low volume
• more than 20 min. each side (max. 25 minutes) -> low volume

Audio files and important advice

More or less any kind of audio signal can be recorded on vinyl. To obtain good quality, however, it is advisable to follow a few important guidelines.

Remember that the better the quality of the master, the better the quality of the audio recorded on vinyl. We always recommend appropriate mastering for vinyl.

We accept any type of digital audio format. wav, aiff, mp3…

For best performance we strongly recommend .wav or .aiff format.

If you really want to transfer on vinyl compressed files formats such as mp3, do not convert them to any other file format.

Low freqeunces:

• Frequencies below 20 Hz can create resonance problems
• In order to avoid out of phase signals with consequent groove interruptions and hence, needle-jumping, it is advisable to keep MONO frequencies below 300 Hz
• Avoid out of phase signals if you do not have thorough mastering knowledge. To check if there are any out of phase signals use a “correlation meter” available in almost all audio programs.

High frequences:

• De-esser: We recommend using a de-esser on all voices and on all sibilants in general
• Frequencies above 14/15 kHz at very high volumes cannot be recorded
• For best results, we recommend placing the tracks with higher frequencies at the beginning of the vinyl
