Vinyl on Demand for Musicians
12" vinyl records pressed per order. No minimum quantity. No upfront pressing costs.
The Vinyl Revival for Independent Artists
Vinyl album sales have grown for 17 consecutive years (RIAA, 2023). The format is no longer a nostalgia product — it is a growing primary revenue stream for independent musicians who want to offer fans something tangible and lasting.
The problem for independent artists has historically been the minimum order requirement. Traditional vinyl pressing plants require 100–500 units minimum and 8–12 weeks lead time, with upfront costs of $1,500–$5,000+. This locked out most indie artists.
On-demand vinyl pressing removes this barrier entirely.
