Short Run Lathe Cut Vinyl Records

We lathe cut short run vinyl records in 7 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch sizes, from just 1 record up to 20 units, with full colour printed sleeves and labels available. It's the ideal option for one-off gifts, test pressings, small promotional runs, or limited-edition releases where a full pressing run isn't practical.

Based in Hastings, East Sussex, we cut and ship vinyl to customers across the whole of the UK. Contact us with your track details and preferred format and we'll confirm pricing and turnaround for your run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for lathe cut vinyl?

We can cut vinyl records from as little as 1 record, making it ideal for one-off gifts, test pressings and very small promotional runs.

What sizes of vinyl record can you cut?

We lathe cut 7 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch records, with full colour printed sleeves and labels available for each size.

What is the difference between lathe cut vinyl and pressed vinyl?

Lathe cutting engraves the audio directly into each disc individually, which suits very short runs from 1 to 20 units. Traditional pressing uses a stamper and suits larger runs, typically starting in the hundreds.
