Flexi Disc Pressing

What is a flexi disc?

Flexi discs are grooved records pressed onto a thin, flexible sheet. Previously popular as promotional items in magazines, they now provide an easy and affordable way to promote your music as vinyl continues its resurgence. They are playable on a regular turntable, although they are much more limited in their sound quality and lifespan compared to standard vinyl records.

How much audio fits on a flexi?

7″ 45 RPM flexis are perfect for singles, with space for about 3 minutes of audio. Up to 6 minutes can be included at 33 RPM, but the sound quality may be compromised and is not recommended. If you have a specific need for 2-sided or 33 RPM flexis, please contact us.

How should I prepare my artwork for foil stamping?

Due to their thin, flexible material, artwork stamped onto the disc itself is limited to text or a simple logo. Artwork should avoid excessively small details as well as large solid stamping areas.

DO:

• • • Use our flexi disc label template to design your artwork. Please remove the template layer before uploading your file. Additional artwork templates are available here.
    • Submit your artwork in black.
    • Provide vector artwork if possible.
    • Use text, lines, and spaces between objects larger than 0.3mm
    • Outline larger images and remove gradients
    • Distribute your design evenly across the stamping area of the disc
    • Utilize an insert to include more complex images, which will show through a transparent flexi when packaged into a polybag.

DON’T:

• • • Include images with gradients, resolution below 300 ppi, or details smaller than 0.3mm
    • Have large sections of solid or shaded artwork
    • Use text weights, sizes, or spacing smaller than 0.3mm
