Bulk Vinyl Pressing vs. a Single Custom Vinyl Record
If you're looking to press a full run of an album or EP for sale or distribution, you're in the right place — Impress Vinyl's minimum order is 100 units, and every record in the run is professionally pressed from a metal stamper for consistent sound quality copy to copy.
If you're after a one-off or handful of personalized records — a gift, a keepsake, a single playlist pressed to vinyl — that's a different process (usually lathe-cut, made one copy at a time) and a different kind of provider to what Impress Vinyl offers. We're set up for production runs, not single copies.
Choose Your Record Size
We press three standard vinyl sizes in Australia — 12", 10", and 7" — to suit everything from full albums to promo singles.

Vinyl Colours & Finishes
Your vinyl doesn't have to be plain black. We offer a full range of standard colours plus custom effects like splatter, marbling, half-and-half, and smoke finishes — all achievable at competitive pricing with no compromise on sound quality.
Vinyl Colours
What makes your custom vinyl record pressing unique? The endless effects and variations that we can produce to your liking.
At the heart of this is our colour range, where we’ve got practically every shade covered.
Our standard range: black, white, clear, red, dark and standard green, dark and standard blue, yellow, orange, pink, dark and standard purple, grey, gold and silver. By utilizing our vast color range, we can create a unique and personalised vinyl record that stands out from the rest.
Opaque / Transparent
Most of our standard Custom Vinyl records come in an opaque or transparent variant.
Check out exactly what’s on offer by hitting our pricing page or buzzing our experts for more information.
Splatter
Contemplating a record with “splats” of colour throughout? This effect is a result of mixing colour vinyl pellets with the vinyl puck during record pressing.
Simply confirm your base colour (pricing here varies) and what splatter hue you love – we’ll make the splatter magic happen at no extra charge.
If you have a particular effect in mind, we’ll even vary the splatter slightly. Just let us know what (with pictures if possible) and we’ll recreate it.
Marbling
Much like our splatter (see above) but less pronounced, this effect can be produced on every one of our colour vinyl pressing variations.
We’ll help you make the perfect colour choice for an impressive result.
Black Smoke
Black smoke is one of the only stand alone effects we produce.
True to its name, the records are created by combining black and clear vinyl, which produces a smokey visual throughout.
Half / Half
Torn between two colours? Why not both! We can create custom vinyl records in Australia made-up of two colours.
If you want a split down the middle or somewhere else, we’ll accommodate.
A little something to consider for your design: movement in the position of the colour divide will always occur.
3rds / Flag Effect
Two colours not enough? We can throw one more into the mix.
We can split into thirds of each colour, which yields extraordinary results.
Again, dividing the vinyl record isn’t an exact science, so as per our technical note on Half / Half (see above), positions will vary in movement.
Custom Effects
Want to take your vinyl a step further? These specialty techniques — picture discs, locked grooves, and laser engraving — let you add a visual or interactive element that goes beyond colour alone.
Picture discs
Want a picture on a Vinyl record in Australia? No problem!
With picture discs anything you can think of can be printed on your custom vinyl meaning every record can be a piece of art!
Locked Groove
Want your music to play on and on and on and on…forever?
We'll set up a locked groove at the end of your record so the last part of the track repeats on a loop.
Timed well, you'll be playing the same note over and over and over and over — until you lift the needle.
Vinyl Engraving
Found yourself with a spare side? We can laser-engrave it with an image.
It’s something that really must be seen to be believed, so hit us up and we’ll email you images of past projects showing you just how phenomenal the results can be.
Labels & Personalisation
The finishing touches matter too. From standard printed labels to split-colour runs and individually serialised records, here's how we can personalise your project down to the smallest detail.
Record Labels
What would records be without their labels? – Well they would still be records but the labels are pretty cool!
All our records come standard with full colour labels but can also be printed in PMS colours.
Please note metallics can be printed but do lose their shine due to the heat in the Vinyl record pressing process.
Splits
Records are increasingly collectable, therefore variations are a sought-after method for increasing sales.
We can press your custom vinyl record in split colours, so you can have a few hundred of one colour and a few hundred of another.
We’ll leave the actual splits up to you, but a set-up fee applies to each split, so we recommend getting as many as possible of each colour.
Record Laser Serials on Labels
Want an individual message on each of your custom vinyl records ? Using a laser etching technique, we can personalise your record’s label.
Words, letters and numbers can be added to your artwork to make each custom vinyl record one-of-a-kind. Make your own high quality personalised record in Australia.
