FAQs
Straight answers on pricing, minimums, turnaround, color options, and how a vinyl pressing comes together at our Studio City shop.
How much does it cost to press vinyl?+
It depends on quantity, record size, color, and packaging. The fastest way to see your price is our quote tool, which shows live per-unit pricing as you pick options, starting at a 100-unit minimum. We confirm the final quote within 24 hours.
What is the minimum order for a vinyl pressing?+
100 units. We focus on short-run, small-batch pressing for independent artists and labels, so you can release on vinyl without committing to thousands of copies.
How long does vinyl pressing take?+
Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from approved test pressing to finished records. We confirm the exact timeline on your quote. Turnaround depends on the run, color, and packaging.
Can I press colored vinyl, picture discs, or 7-inch singles?+
Yes. The quote tool covers 7-inch and 12-inch records in black, solid color, or splatter, at 140g or 180g. We also press picture discs and translucent records as custom jobs, so ask and we can quote it.
Do you offer test pressings?+
Always. Before the full run we send a physical test pressing for you to approve, so you hear exactly how your record sounds before we press the rest.
How do I make my own vinyl record?+
Send us your mastered audio, artwork, and label design. We manage the rest: test pressing, the full production run, packaging, and stocking your finished record in our shop. Start with a quote and we follow up within 24 hours.
Where can I press vinyl records in Los Angeles?+
Right here. Licorice Pizza Records runs a full-service vinyl pressing operation in LA (and Miami), and as a working record shop we also place your release on our shelves and in our online catalog on release day.
