Hello!

The pressing plant in germany where we do our 12” doesn’t press 7” unfortunately, and we have a little project that would be perfect for a 7” release.
So, I am looking for somewhere to press a 7” in europe. The plan is to make around 150 copies. I’m not sure if most places have an higher minumum..?
Anyway all suggestions are appreciated!

(I don’t know if this is the right section for this question. Otherwise please move it to where it belongs!)

Hi,

I think http://www.mediasourcing.com in the Uk may do small runs of 7’s.

Cheers.

my advise is: be careful with cheap record pressing plants doing these small runs as the quality may be very crappy (warped, cracky, distorted,....) and then you either have much trouble with them, or you sell this crap (both options suck, no?). indeed most good address plants start at like 300 copies, but then you might consider just making a whitelabel run in smaller quantity.

AnnaLogue: Yes, that’s why I thought I’d ask here to see if anyone has had any experience with pressing small quantities somewhere, good/bad, etc.
Ending up with a bunch of badly pressed records would indeed not be fun at all.

Did anyone press at that mediasourcing place?

try Gramofonove zavody in Czech Republic

I pressed there my 7” in 2006. Their minimum run is 250 copies.
Do not forget to order test pressing copies.
