The Record Jacket Corporation

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hey guys - just letting you all know we've opened up a factory producing full colour printed (and blank) 12" record jackets. Our facility is in Toronto. Since there's not many of us out there, I thought it might be a good idea to let you know of our existence.

Here's a video of our fabricating machine in action:

We're offering wholesale rates for manufacturing plants, so please PM me if interested.

Thanks,
Paul

When = now! We're finally done all our modifications and tinkering, with a result we're proud of. We're based in Toronto, and the jackets are available through me (Paul) at paul [@] samomedia [dot] com or 416.425.6631.

We've set up two tiers for pricing: wholesale (so we can start relationships with plants and brokers) and re-sale (folks off the street).

If anyone would like some samples sent out, I'm really confident in our quality and would be happy to do that. Please send me an email at the above address and I'll get them right out to you. Or you can PM me.

Thanks!

Thanks! We found it at a factory in Woodbridge, Ontario. These guys were getting out of the print packaging business and hadn't used it in years. A machine broker we know connected the dots between us. After we got it, they ended up being our mentors while we wrestled to calibrate it to our specs (I'm sure most of you on here know what that's like, haha). Now that's it running the way we want it to, we're opening the doors and letting people know we're out there.
