12″ Records
We offer 12” formats at both 45 and 33 1/3 RPM speeds in black and coloured vinyl. Our growing print volumes ensure that we have excellent buying power for printed items. Zenith Records carries out all sleeve gluing and paper inner sleeve finishing in house. This not only makes us more price competitive, it also reduces the need to purchase inner sleeves from offshore suppliers as well as avoiding delays in supply bottlenecks – it also massively reduces our reliance on overseas suppliers and the carbon footprint importing large quantities of goods involves.

F.A.Q.
How much music can I fit per side?
12” records generally hold up to 24 minutes per side when cut at 33RPM. However this largely depends on the style of music.
If you’re unsure, our cutting engineers are available to advise. In the RPM section of your quote form, simply select unsure and we’ll take it from there.
I don’t want any artwork – what options do you have for me?
That’s perfectly fine – we have options for both blank covers and labels. Blank labels are offered in black or white. For covers, we have 3MM spine disco sleeves available in the following: white, black, or brown kraft – with or without a hole. Just let us know your preferences and we’ll add it to your quote.
Do you offer foiling and other specialty printing?
Yes. We offer the following specialty printing options for our 12” covers.
- Foiling
- Embossing / Debossing
- PMS Pantone and Spot colours
- Gloss and Matte coating
- Uncoated card printing
- Mirror board printing
