PRODUCT AND SERVICES
Cutting mastering and vinyl to deliver high quality products.
CUTTING & MASTERING
We work with high-resolution digital formats (up to 384 kHz) without conversion and handle 1/4” analog tape using Studer preview reproducers for a fully analog workflow. Pre-mastering can be done with either analog or digital processing, and we accept digital audio via download links or physical formats like CD, DAT, PCM1630, DDP, and HDD.
Our engineers bring expertise across genres—from techno and house to classical and jazz—ensuring every record receives the perfect final touch. Beyond vinyl mastering, we provide mastered files for streaming, digital downloads, and CD production, as well as archive restoration services (pricing upon request).
VINYL
Whether you call it an LP, twelve-inch, or black gold, we’re here to craft it for you. We specialize in pressing 12″ records on 140 or 180-gram vinyl, using high-quality, eco-friendly PVC stabilized with tin and calcium zinc, fully compliant with REACH standards.
Choose from a wide range of transparent and opaque vinyl colors, with unique blending options that create stunning flamed effects or entirely new shades. You can mix multiple colors within a single order at no extra cost beyond setup and standard color vinyl fees.
While our colored vinyl meets high-quality standards, non-black records may have slightly higher surface noise or occasional clicks in quieter sections. Regardless of your choice, every pressing is crafted with precision for the best possible sound experience.
PRINT & PACKAGING
AFG offers a wide range of printing and packaging options for 12″ records. Our standard label size is 100 mm, and we recommend using CMYK artwork for the best results, as Pantone colors may shift due to heat exposure.
You can choose from custom-printed sleeves with options like embossing, die-cuts, special finishes, or foils. We use GC1 board for standard sleeves, with additional options like grey or brown backing and kraft board. For extra creativity, we offer triple gatefolds, custom inserts (numbered download cards, posters, booklets, stickers), and bespoke packaging like custom box sets.
For unique or complex packaging designs, we’re ready to help—reach out to info@afgmediacompany.com for more details.
