Print & Packaging for Vinyl

Vinyl’s long history has inspired a wide range of packaging styles and finishes.
Here are the most common options – or contact us for custom solutions.

Standard Packaging

LP Cover

The majority of records comes in LP covers with a 3 mm spine.

Gatefold

If you prefer high quality packaging or in case of an LP set we recommend a gatefold. Apart from the well known version for one or two LPs we also offer special versions for 3 or 4 LPs.

Slipcase

For a set of 2 or 3 LPs you can use the LP Cover with a 5 mm or 7 mm spine. In case of a set of more than 3 LPs you can also chose a slipcase made of heavy cardboard.

Two Piece Box

Two Piece boxes are the ideal packaging for sets of vinyl records or for collectors’ editions.

Standard Verpackungen

LP Tasche: Die meisten Vinyl Schallplatten werden in LP-Taschen mit einem 3mm breiten Rücken verpackt.

Schlauchalbum: Wenn Sie eine hochwertige Verpackung bevorzugen oder ein LP-Set konfektionieren lassen wollen, empfehlen wir ein Schlauchalbum. Neben der bekannten Version für eine oder zwei LPs bieten wir auch spezielle Versionen für 3 oder 4 LPs an.

Schuber: Für ein Set aus 2 oder 3 LPs können Sie auch eine LP-Tasche mit einem 5 mm oder 7 mm breiten Rücken verwenden. Bei einem Set von mehr als 3 LPs empfiehlt sich ein Schuber aus stärkerem Karton.

Stülpdeckelbox: Zweiteilige Stülpdeckelboxen sind die ideale Verpackung für Sets von Vinyl-Schallplatten oder für Sammler-Editionen.

Print Finishing

Reverse-side Printing: With inside-out print the rough cardboard inside is printed instead of the smooth outside.

Cellophane: With this finish the cardboard is coated with a thin layer of foil. This foil is available in a gloss or in a mat version. Both have a significant better optic than a simple varnish. In addition the product has a pleasant haptic and an extra protection.

Mat Varnish: Unlike the inside-out printing, a matte finish is applied to the smooth outer side of the cardboard in order to create an rough and natural look.

Spot Varnish: The spot varnish can be applied to most cardboard products. On a part of the motif (e. g. an image or a logo) an additional gloss coating is applied to highlight it visually. To give a better contrast with the background, the product is coated with a mat varnish in advance.

Hot Foil Stamping: Hot foil stamping can be applied in silver and gold on cardboard packaging.
Embossing: With embossing, individual parts of the design can be felt as elevation or depression.

Die-cut: A die-cut in a sleeve can have an extraordinary effect especially when paired with a couloured inner sleeve or insert.
Rainbow-Foil: For an even more refined appearance the record sleeve can be coated in a rainbow-foil to achieve a shimmering finish.

Multi-Laser-Foil: This special coating adds a rather metallic shimmering finish to the product’s surface.
