The price of pressing vinyl will vary from plant to plant and from country to country. At Impress Vinyl, we specialise in pressing vinyl for the Australian and New Zealand market.

Do you know how much does it cost to make a vinyl record? The following information will be in AUD and based on the vinyl being picked up in Melbourne.

Our pricing works by including all the cutting, metalwork, and setup costs in the vinyl costs. Therefore these are things that don’t really need to be taken into consideration when getting your vinyl pressed but will come into play if you ever get a repress as some of these costs are one-off fees so won’t need to be paid for again (making represses of you vinyl more economical than your initial pressing, but more on that later).

There are also many other factors that can affect the cost of your vinyl, record weight, size, and colour, type of cover and of course the amount of vinyl you will be ordering. For the sake of keeping this post as simple as possible, we will look at the most popular vinyl package that is ordered through Impress Vinyl –
