Colour Vinyl
Chart
Our custom vinyl is made using groundbreaking processes, the results are as visually unique as they are beautiful. The examples here are just the beginning of a stunning new range of colour vinyl effects.
The examples below are tried and tested, however it is important to note that this is a manual process, and each record will be unique.
Marbled
Marbled records consist of two or more colours being mixed together before they are melted and pressed. The intensity of the effect depends on the contrast and the ratio between the mixed colours. The higher the contrast, the more visible becomes the effect.
Note: Mixing two transparent colours will have hardly any marbled structure, while using at least one solid colour as an effect colour will create a stronger marbled structure.

Splatter
Splatter is an effect, where the effect colour is added after melting the PVC but before pressing the record. There are endless of base colour and splatter colour combinations. The splatter effect is random and every record will look different. However certain things can be controlled: The amount of splatter, the thickness of the splatter, the position of the splatter starting from the centre or starting outside of the centre (Evil Eye).
Note: Splatter can be combined with most other record types. The effect will be strongest, when solid splatter colours are used on a transparent base colour. Semi-solid splatter colours will have less of a tail and will more appear like dots, and may hardly be seen when used on a dark solid base colour.

Smashed
For smashed we use recycled waste from vinyl pressings which are melted into the record during the pressing process. As a standard, this is only available with black effect colour.
Note: Coloured smash effects are possible but availability needs to be discussed with the sales person in advance.
base: 8422 green
effect: black smash

base: 9350 orange
effect: black smash
base: 141 natural
1st: 8422 green splatter
2nd: black smash
base: 9343 lime trans
effect: black smash
Orbital radiance
Orbital radiance is made by pressing one colour onto another. The effect completely depends on the actual colours being used. They might blend in different ways. E.g. a yellow base and a blue centre colour might blend into green, so you actually might see three colours, although only 2 colours have been used. We are then speaking of a “Galaxy” effect. The effect can be done on one side only, on both sides, or can even have different colours on A side and B side.
Note: The „Galaxy" effect is strongest when a solid colour is used with a transparent colour as base. When using semi-solid colours the effect will be weaker. When the base colour is a colourless transparent like natural 141, total clear or crystal 8751, the effect can be better described as a regular ink spot.

Orbital Radiance and Splatter
Any orbital radiance record can be combined with splatter in any size, amount or colour. This gives endless options and combinations. When using a galaxy effect with additional splatter, the effect can look very 3-dimensional.
base: 8228 blue
1st: 1154 white galaxy
2nd: black thick outside splatter
base: 9220 silver
1st: 1154 white galaxy
2nd: black thin evil eye splatter
Coral
Coral is a multicolour record combining liquid splatter with the galaxy effect. The coral effect is strongest and looks closest to a coral when choosing a coloured transparent base or a semi solid base and a coloured transparent or semi-solid coral colour while the liquid splatter is a bright solid colour.
Any other colour combination is of course possible.
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 8287 red coral
2nd: 1154 white liquid splatter
base: 9220 silver
1st: 8755 green coral
2nd: 9344 pink coral
3rd: 1154 white liquid splatter
base: 9350 orange
1st: 9220 silver coral
2nd: 1154 white liquid
3rd: 8308 yellow + silver 9220 liquid

1st: 9391 blue transparent coral
2nd: black liquid dust
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 9349 pink coral
2nd: 9391 blue trans liquid
Tye Dye
Tie Dye is a multicolour record with minimum 3 different effect colours. The intensity and the outcome is pretty much unpredictable for new combinations, because small changes in the ratio of the colours or in the actual colours being used gives endless options. This in turn may result in further colour blending, giving us the the „Galaxy effect" creating additional colours and more depth. In fact you could also call this a multicolour „galaxy" record. The effect of each colour is random on both sides of the record.
Note: For a strong effect we recommend to use at least 2 semi-solid or solid colours as effect colour.
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 8287 red smash
2nd: 1154 white galaxy
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 1154 white galaxy
2nd: 9347 purple
3rd: 8287 red transparent
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 9347 purple
2nd: 8287 red transparent
3rd: 1154 white
Liquid Tye Dye
Liquid Tie Dye is a tie dye effect combined with the liquid splatter effect. Liquid Splatter is a special type of splatter, where the splatter has no tail, but looks more like rain drops, or bubbles.
base: 9391 blue transparent
1st: 9786 yellow galaxy
2nd: 8227 red galaxy
3rd: 1154 white liquid splatter
base: 9391 blue transparent

3rd: 1154 white liquid splatter
Tye Dye Marbled Splatter
Tie Dye can also be made with 4 or even more different colours. This can additionally be combined with marbled colours plus additional splatter to give even more depth.
base: 9786 yellow with 8228 blue marbled
1st effect: 9350 orange galaxy on side B
2nd effect: 8228 blue splatter

Shaped Vinyl
Shapes records can have all kind of shapes such as squares, rectangles, ovals, triangles, hearts etc. Custom shapes are also possible and are only limited by your creativity. Shaped vinyl can be combined any other record style, like splatter, split, tie dye, etc.
Please note that playback times need to be shorter than a regular 12" record. Depending on the shape we usually recommend to aim for the usual length of a 7" record.
