Premium vinyl CDs in record-style card sleeves with outer printed wallets
Our premium packaging option for small run orders of 50 items or more
These are a premium version of our standard vinyl CDs in record-style wallets as these ones are then encased in a slightly larger printed outer wallet so that they are packaged like a traditional vinyl record with a printed outer slipcase and the disc then further protected in a record-style wallet inside which has a hole in the front panel to display the disc artwork. The whole disc package is then finished and sealed with a cellophane wrap.
The 12cm vinyl-effect CDs are very popular for both singles and full albums. The CDs have a solid black, gold, silver, white, red or green ridged spiral running around the outside of the disc on the printed side, looking exactly like grooves in a record. The data sides of the discs then match the top colour of the discs for the black, silver, red and green discs (it is just the gold and white discs that can’t have matching colour data sides and they are a standard silver underneath).
These 12cm circular vinyl CDs have a capacity of 700MB and a 65mm area in the centre of the disc where a full colour printed sticker is applied.
They come in record-style card wallets in 100% recycled natural white card with a matt finish, smooth white card, a thick solid matt red (roughly Pantone 1797), a thick solid matt black or a thick textured brown Manila / kraft colour, see further below for a picture and further information. Alternatively we can also provide the record-style inner wallets with your own artwork printed on the front and reverse to give you four printed sides of artwork (with the two panels of the outer wallets included), if you need additional space for lyrics, credits or photographs.
Standard vinyl CD colours available:
Any colour custom vinyl CD colours and full surface printing are also now available (from just £0.25+VAT per disc):
Our new UV LED printer allows us to print full colour artwork under the vinyl-effect ridges and grooves, which means that we can now print almost any colour top surface to the discs, or even print marble and tie dye effects over the full area of the disc. Your own artwork or text can also be added and printed directly onto the discs rather than via a sticker label click here to find out more about our full coverage vinyl print CDs.

Some examples of our work:
Custom printed vinyl CDs and DVDs with full coverage printing of your artwork under the vinyl rings
We can now offer full surface on-body printing of your artwork with the vinyl ridges and grooves laid on top, for some stunning effects on the discs. The standard central printed labels are replaced with a very durable and extremely high resolution on-body print that is still available with coloured bases (CD data sides of either silver, black, green, a light turquoise or blue). We can either print onto a white base layer for accurate colour reproduction or for a reflective metallic effect (highly recommended) we can print directly on the silver reflective disc surface as shown in the Abba disc. If you wish to go for full coverage vinyl CD printing then please add £0.35+VAT per disc if ordering fewer than 100 copies to the costs in the pricing tables above, or for quantities of 100 or more, it is just £0.25+VAT per disc.
As standard the wallets are supplied with no laminate coating applied, however for just £0.30+VAT per wallet we can coat them in either a gloss or matt plastic laminate. The lamination makes the wallets far more durable, stronger, more resistant to liquids and a little more rigid. In the case of the gloss laminates the colours are enhanced with blacks looking deeper and colours richer overall. With matt lamination, finger prints do not show up at all, but colours are not quite as deep and appear a little lighter than either the uncoated or gloss options. If you wish to get your CD wallets laminated then please mention it to us when placing the order and let us know whether you would prefer matt or gloss.

Add a thumbcut…
If you would like a thumbcut added to the wallets for easier disc removal then we can easily do so. Please note that it does eat into the artwork space a little, but we have had a lot of requests for them, so thought we would add them as an option. Please add £0.05+VAT per unit that you would like the thumbcuts added to and please mention when ordering if you would like thumbcuts added to the CD wallets, otherwise they are provided with normal straight edges by default.
100% Recycled Eco Digipak option
If you would like to help save the planet then why not try our entirely recycled digipaks made from a printed recycled card outer with your artwork on, a disc tray made from recycled egg boxes and a central CD stud made from cork.

Vinyl CD artwork template downloads (also suitable for editing in Photoshop)
The printed area on these vinyl-effect discs is 65mm in diameter with a 16.7mm diameter central hole. The artwork template that you download is only for the central printed area, the raised ridges and grooves with the vinyl effect will be automatically added outside of this area, so you don’t need to allow for them in your artwork:

Type of printing on the CDs
For quantities of fewer than 1000 discs we use a full colour high resolution laser print onto gloss or matt permanent labels that are then applied to the discs. The matt labels go very well with our recycled card packaging and have a similar slightly rough texture. For quantities of 1000 discs or more we can use a direct-to-disc full colour offset litho or silk screen print onto the discs although you can still go for labels if you prefer.
Add some full colour printed guitar picks
When placing an order with us, why not add some custom printed guitar picks with your band logo on? The picks are available in different thicknesses for acoustic/electric and bass guitars and also lots of different base colours. We can then print full colour on-body artwork with partial white base layers and spot gloss layers if required. Ideal for not only playing with, but also for merch stands, added value online CD/cassette/vinyl sales or freebies for fans.

Do you need a barcode?
If you will be selling your discs or cassettes through a retail store then you will probably need to register a unique barcode for your release and apply it to the rear outer artwork of your product to make it possible for them to sell via their product barcode scanner.
In Europe we use the EAN 13 barcode system and in North America the UPC system is used. We can register an EAN 13 barcode for you and embed the barcode graphic within your disc or cassette packaging artwork for just £12+VAT. The only information that we will require from you will be the name of the band/artist and the title of the release, then just leave a suitable space in your artwork and we will register the barcode and add it to your artwork for you, all for just £12+VAT.
For further information about barcodes, please read our barcode FAQs.
