Please keep in mind:

  • these suggested playing times may change a little according to the dynamics and frequencies of the audio signal. The tracing of a groove containing a signal with loud bass frequencies takes much lateral space. On the contrary, quieter musical parts with a prevailing content of mid and high frequencies allow a more efficient packing of the grooves, with consequent saving of lateral space
  • the longer the playing time is, the smaller the modulation has to be, and consequentially the lower the recording level will be
  • If you are sending a single file per side, please attach a PQSheet/Tracklisting
  • If you are sending separate tracks, please remind that the filenames have to start with the letter corresponding to the side (e.g. A, B...), followed by the track number formatted with 2 digits.
    E.g.:
    A01, A02, B01, B02 etc. -> OK
    A1, A2 etc. -> NOT OK
    1A, 2A, 01A, 02A etc. -> NOT OK

We accept all kind of files with any samplerate and bit depth.
To send the files, pack them into a single archive (.zip, .rar) containing audio, PQSheet if needed, artwork and copyright declaration forms. Then, send it by using our Wetransfer service or a Google Drive link. The following link types are not accepted:

  • forwarded Wetransfer links (not loaded into our Wetransfer channel)
  • any Dropbox link

Specifications for artwork

We accept .pdf, .ai., .tiff, .jpg., .eps, .svg and .png files. The important thing is that:

  • resolution is at least 300 DPI
  • artwork is correctly fitting its template, accessible from the Download section of this site. If you keep the template included into the artwork, don't forget to keep it into a separate layer and to send the file with separate layers as well, so that we can remove the template before printing

Since offset printing uses CMYK (4 colours), it is advised to set up the artwork with the same colour mode. RGB (3 colours) is accepted as well, but the conversion from RGB to CMYK may sometimes cause some slight variations of some tints.
To send the files, please create a single archive (.zip, .rar) containing audio, artwork and copyright form and send it by using our Wetransfer channel or a Google Drive link.

The following types of links won't be accepted:

  • forwarded Wetransfer links (pointing to archives not loaded into our Wetransfer channel)
  • any Dropbox link

Please, double check all of your material before sending it, because it will not be possible to amend any of the production parts aftwerwards.
