Vinyl Duplication

Engraving is the first corner stone in the Vinyl record recording process.

This is taken care of by the customer or Double Vision, in partnership with the best studios in France, Germany and the UK. All the engraving used on our production site are controlled and identified.

Electroplating is the stage during which a nickel matrix is produced through electolysis.

Three steps are required.

Developing of the engraving to create a “parent” matrix (engravings may only be developed once).

High performance printing of materials at a speed of 10,000 sheets/hour. Labels, liner notes booklets, inserts, 30cm and 17cm vinyl record sleeves (gatefold, with and without spines, 1 hole, 2 holes, stamping, bossing, hot gilding etc). All in 1 sleeve converting line (sheet cutting and folding and
pasting of sleeves with and without spines).

To PRESS your vinyl records, we use the best vinyl compound material on the market. During pressing, a lump of material weighing around 200g is shaped at a temperature of 130 degrees, then 2 labels are placed on either side. The disc shape is created when the material is crushed by a hydraulic press.
Deburring is required to make sure that the record’s diameter and finish are perfect.

Packaging in sleeves, labelling, inserting of insert, shrink wrapping etc, shipping can be to one destination or multi-point shipping routing etc.
