How to

In addition to standard pressing on black vinyl, there are a number of customisation options available to meet your needs and desires.

Customisation of the vinyl record:

• Vinyl colour: Opt for a classic black record or stand out from the crowd with coloured vinyl: red, blue, yellow, transparent, marbled etc. More than 36 colours are available.
• Record weight: Choose the weight of your vinyl, from 140 to 180 grams, for different feel.
• Label: Customise your vinyl label with your logo, colours and information.

Sleeve customisation :

• Sleeve: Choose a standard white sleeve or personalise it with your own colour or design.
• Cardboard sleeve: Choose the type of cardboard, the finish (gloss or matt), the colour and print your sleeve with your visual. We will provide you with templates.
• Protective Sleeve: You can add a protective sleeve to your outer sleeve.
• Booklet: Add a booklet to your sleeve to include photos, lyrics or credits.

Additional options :

• Track mastering: Have your tracks mastered for optimum sound quality on vinyl.
• Time per side: 16 Min is usually considered as an optimal duration time for each side but you can add up to 25 min per side.
• Bar code (EAN): Add a barcode to your sleeve for easy identification.
• Test pressing: Carry out a test pressing to validate the sound and pressing quality before mass production.

At Objects Manufacturing, our mission is to press records to the highest quality standards while minimizing waste and maximizing sustainability at every step of the production process. It's not always easy—but it's a responsibility we take seriously.

Our entire factory has been engineered with energy-efficient, modern machinery. The steam and cooling systems operate in a closed loop, allowing us to recover and reuse excess steam—significantly reducing energy waste.

We’re proud to run on green electricity, powered by locally sourced biogas from Germany. The PVC we use is based on calcium-zinc stabilizers, avoiding the use of harmful heavy metals typically found in traditional vinyl production.

All of our printed materials follow strict environmental standards:

– FSC-certified Tullis Russell labels

– High-quality 90 GSM inner sleeves

– 300 or 350 GSM cardboard outer sleeves

We also care about the digital footprint. Our website is hosted on servers powered by solar and wind energy. Through our partnership with the CO2 Neutral Website initiative, the emissions from our website and its visitors are offset through certified renewable energy projects and carbon reduction programs.

For packaging, we use Eco+ 50 shrink wrap, made with 40% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials—sourced directly from household recycling like Germany’s yellow trash system.

Thanks to our in-house granulator machines, we operate with a 0% PVC waste policy. Every bit of vinyl waste is recycled into new records. We even remove labels from mispressed vinyl to recover and reuse the raw PVC.

Lastly, all shipments from our facility are 100% carbon-neutral. We offer eco-friendly packaging options and aim to minimize logistics-related emissions wherever possible.

You should choose us because we are committed to delivering what you want – vinyl that sounds great and looks amazing without costing a pretty penny. It doesn't have to be a choice between cheap, fast and good.

A test pressing is a preliminary version of a vinyl record, produced in a limited quantity before the actual production run. Its primary purpose is to check the cut, ensuring that the transfer of the audio material meets the desired result. It allows verification of the track sequence, side allocation, and the exclusion of any damage to the pressing tool before mass production begins.

However, a test pressing does not necessarily reflect the final pressing quality. Since test pressings are produced under different conditions than the main pressing run, the pressing quality may vary. Crackling, slight surface noise, or minor pressing defects may occur; however, these are eliminated during the final pressing under optimal conditions and with careful quality control.

In the printing world, bleed is a very important concept that deals with the edges of paper and how it is printed or cut. Bleed is Ink that prints beyond the trim edge of the page to ensure it extends to the edge of the page after trimming. To prevent small white gaps at the edge of your print, it is required that all graphics around the edge of the page extend at least 1/8″ past the cut lines.

If we print your vinyl labels all the way to the edges of your template, they will likely end up appearing slightly cut off in the final product. Understanding bleed margins help prevent this problem by expanding the text or image outside of the designated printed area, resulting in a polished and professional final product.

Every Objects template has guidelines to indicate how much bleed you need to add to your layouts in order to be safe. In order to avoid project delays and cost overruns, only use our supplied templates.

In print there are two main ways in which the colour black is displayed. The simplest is considered ‘true/plain black’, or 100% black ink of CMYK (0C, 0M, 0Y, 100K). On the other hand, you may wish to create your artwork using a mixture of solid black over one or more of the other CMYK colours, resulting in a darker tone than black ink alone – this is referred to as ‘rich black’.
