A dubplate, or lathe-cut vinyl record, is made one at a time in real time. Each groove is physically cut into a durable PETG disc using a diamond stylus, with mono and stereo formats available.

How long does production and delivery take?

Standard production without printed artwork typically takes 3–14 business days after all required audio, artwork, order details and production materials have been received in a usable form. Single one-off records may ship sooner depending on production volume and project requirements. Printed center labels, custom jackets and finishing may add up to 1 additional week. Larger runs may need more time; larger runs with artwork may require 1–2 additional weeks. Holiday and high-volume periods may extend these estimates. Shipping transit starts after production is complete and USPS accepts the package.

CNC Linear Engraving — Clear

The CNC engraving option is a single-sided audio record with engraving on the opposite side. One side contains your diamond-cut audio, and the other side contains your CNC engraved artwork.

CNC artwork uses a 3.5″ diameter artwork area. Submit the artwork in its normal orientation. Do not mirror, flip, rotate, or invert it. We prepare the artwork and perform the required inversion and rotation for our engraving process.

Clean, high-contrast artwork works best. Do not add the .313″ center hole. We handle the center hole during production.

How CNC engraving works: We import your artwork and generate the engraving lines from your image. Simple, high-contrast artwork produces the cleanest engraving.

By submitting audio and artwork, you confirm that you own or have obtained all necessary rights and permissions for reproduction. All orders are subject to our FAQ and Terms of Service.

Production & Shipping

Estimated production time: 3–14 business days before dispatch. Production begins after all required audio, artwork, and order details have been received in a usable form. Smaller, file-ready orders often ship sooner. Printed artwork and jackets may add up to 1 additional week; larger runs and complex finishing may need longer, as explained in our FAQ.

Shipping is separate: allow approximately one additional week for standard U.S. shipping after dispatch. Carrier transit times are estimates and may vary. Expedited services, where offered, follow the selected carrier service.

Shipping and handling · Custom orders and verified defects

Shipping and handling

Standard U.S. record shipping and handling is $10 per group of up to 10 identical records without jackets, or $10 per group of up to 5 with jackets. Each Side A / Side B program is calculated separately. The applicable charge is calculated at checkout.

Production normally takes 3–14 business days after all required materials are usable. Artwork, jackets, larger runs and complex finishing may take longer. Allow approximately one additional week for standard U.S. carrier transit after dispatch. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.

Custom orders and verified defects

Custom orders are final sale. If we verify a manufacturing defect or error attributable to us, our first remedy is replacement, correction, repair or re-performance of the affected item or service. A monetary refund is offered only if we elect to provide one or applicable law requires it.

Contact us before sending anything back. Original packaging is required for any authorized return, except where applicable law requires otherwise. We may also require the complete affected project, including all records, sleeves, jackets, labels and supplied components, for inspection and comparison. Our written return authorization will specify what must be returned. A return authorization or inspection does not itself approve a refund.

Customers initially pay authorized return postage unless otherwise agreed or required by law. If our inspection confirms our manufacturing defect or shipping error, we reimburse reasonable authorized return-shipping costs or provide another remedy required by law. The full return policy applies.

Review Before Ordering

Audio Quality

GOOD AUDIO

Dynamic audio

BAD AUDIO

Heavily limited / clipped

Dynamic, unclipped audio is a better starting point for vinyl cutting. Avoid excessively limited streaming masters whenever possible. Vinyl pre-mastering is included.

Prepare Side A + Side B

Arrange all songs in the correct order and export one continuous WAV audio file for Side A and one for Side B. WAV files use the .wav extension, for example: SideA.wav and SideB.wav.

Leave approximately 2 seconds of complete silence between songs wherever you want visible track bands. Maximum 5 tracks / 4 gaps per side. For seamless playback, do not insert gaps.

One Side A + Side B program = one checkout. Quantity means identical copies. Different songs or different programs require separate orders.

Upload Your Audio + Artwork

Prepare your files for our record builder and the provided upload links: Side A, Side B, and artwork when ordered.
