12-Inch Vinyl Record Pressing in Australia
Zenith Records offers 12-inch vinyl pressing at 33⅓ and 45 RPM in black or coloured vinyl. Our high print volumes give us strong buying power for printed components, helping us provide competitive pricing for artists, record labels and distributors.
All sleeve gluing and paper inner-sleeve finishing is completed in-house at our Melbourne facility. This reduces reliance on imported inner sleeves and overseas suppliers, helps avoid international supply delays and lowers the carbon impact associated with transporting large quantities of packaging.

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
Pricing is unique to your design, so please get in touch about pricing and artwork requirements.
Can you do one-sided 12” records?
Yes, we can. And we have a few options for the B-side, including laser etching. Get in touch for further details and artwork requirements.
Do you offer picture discs?
Currently we do not offer picture discs.
Can I see your recycled colours?
You can find examples of some of our recycled colour variants on our coloured vinyl page.
