Lacquer cut, test pressed and signed off before the full run starts. We check surface noise, groove depth and low end, so the record sounds the way you mixed it.

Bespoke Finishes

Bespoke Finishes

Splatters, splits, marble, picture discs and colour-in-colour, proofed against your artwork rather than picked off a stock chart. The record should look like the sleeve it came in.

Bespoke Manufacturing Capabilities

Explore all services

Your music deserves a format as uncompromising as the sound itself. From virgin vinyl as standard to sustainable compounds if preferred, discover the tactile finishes that define an AGR pressing.

Analog AND Optical Formats.

Because true collectors want options. From custom-coloured cassette shells to heavy cardstock CD’S, elevate your secondary formats from standard plastics into tangible collectibles.

Custom Cassette

Coloured or clear shells, on-body print, full-colour J-cards and O-cards. Short runs are welcome, so a cassette can sit alongside the vinyl as a tour exclusive without tying up your budget.

Retail Ready CDs

Digipaks, wallets, jewel cases and heavy cardstock, printed to the same standard as your sleeves. Barcoded, shrink wrapped and ready for the shelf the day they land.

The liner notes

Hear from the labels, art directors, and independent artists who trust us with their physical releases.

I doubt many labels our size get such assistance from their manufacturer, so I wanted the chance to state this clearly. We are so grateful you are part of our team!

“

The vinyl is really cool. Many thanks for all. It's a real pleasure to work with you every time!

“

Just to let you know CDs and vinyl arrived this morning! Brilliant, look great! Many thanks!

“

The records have arrived! Thanks a lot for everything. It's a pleasure doing business with you!

“

We've been working with AGR for a while and they're a sublime company and incredibly positive from beginning to end in the process. The best stuff we've ever had pressed, tbh. Cheers so much pals.

Thanx again for a great service to independent artists!
