upload vinyl audio track files
You may upload audio files (one file per track) in WAV, or MP3, or AAC, or WMV, or M4A format. Our web-based upload software works on all operating systems (PC, MAC, Android, and IPhone). After you upload your audio files our software instantly masters it to the Audio vinyl format. This means you do not need to master your vinyl. We do it for you. We also insert the industry standard 2-second gap between tracks.
upload artwork for vinyl center labels and case
All artwork for the vinyl record and case needs to be in JPG/JPEG format.
The disc print image you select should be square and without the circular or hub masks. Our software masks the cd and hub shape for you.
Our factory prints the disc, the case covers, and the inserts at 300 DPI / RGB no bleed.
Your monitor’s resolution is much less than 300 DPI. Therefore, the disc and case rendered on your monitor has a significantly lower resolution than the manufactured product.
Bleed areas are not needed. We use precise digital cutting machines that automatically adjust for print shift. However, we still suggest that you do not place text or lines adjacent to the edges.
The images you select for the disc print and package covers and insert will be stretched (resampled) to fit the package and disc. Therefore, they need not match the dimensions listed below. To minimize resampling you should select images that are at least proportional and preferably precisely equal to the dimensions listed below.
