pressing up 50 vinyl records ?

Once you have cut a master laquer, you have metal stampers created and have records pressed from them. Discuss manufacturing here. (Record Matrix Electroforming- Plating, Vinyl Record Pressing.)

I did a very deep research on all different pressing plants in the usa and overseas I will probably already know of a lot of pressing plants that do small runs of 50 that some people are going to mention in this threat just maybe thought I can come across a place I never heard before that I might have a better price then the first place I did my first pressing at so if any one has any info please leave a comment or message me thanks

Haha! Cheaper than Palomino? And willing to do 50 Records? Not gonna happen. You might be better off getting Tragwag to Lathes cut you 50 Lps.

well no diss disrespect to palomino records I did my first pressing with them but when you get color vinyl and full color label theres additional charges that get added so 50 records for $800 something turns into 1.k or close to 1.k so the extra charges really get you at the end but that's no diss respect to them am just saying but if you do black vinyl and black & white label then its much cheaper you will get it for $800 something not saying nothing bad just saying the extra charges but I might have to go with the all black vinyl with the black white label and just for the record am not bad mouthing palomino records at all just stating my experience

Pressing such a small run can hardly get cheaper. You need to count cutting, plating and pressing plus sleeves and labels. Yes you pay a bit more for colors if you want clean colors..
I wouldn't order overseas at all, it's not going to be cheaper not going to be better and you'll pay shipping plus import taxes plus it's not making sense to buy abroad something you can get locally.

I second what was previously written. I'd rather go for a lathe cut instead. Mind that you can do a very small run 10, 20, 30..and do another one anytime if it's sold out.

Last but not least.. hunting for a good deal is fair but going too cheap means compromises ... very often involving lower quality.
