About Press On Vinyl

Press On offers a wide range of colours and special effects from splatter, colour in colour and marble to their own unique designs.

With an in-house customer service and graphics proofing team, they can help guide every customer through the entire process whether it be a run of 100 or a run of 10,000.

They are committed to not overselling their capacity and their lead times will never exceed 12 weeks.

Ecovin – Eco-Friendly Records

ECOVIN has a reduction of over 92% in product carbon footprint compared to the industry standard record compound. Press On Vinyl is 20 miles from the site which produces this raw compound so will be the greenest plant in the UK to offer this revolutionary alternative.

They have been a test centre for this innovative compound and can confirm the audio and visual quality of records pressed using this new ECOVIN compound are on par with anything pressed in standard PVC.
