Record Foundry · 7-inch / 45s

The single, made physical again.

7-inch records are a strong format for singles, two-track releases, collector drops, launch editions and artists who want an accessible first vinyl project without turning it into a full LP run.

Production pathway

Short format, same production discipline.

Side length matters on a 7-inch. We review the supplied masters, intended speed and side allocation before the production specification is locked.

Production knowledge centre

Make the manufacturing decisions before the files go to production.

These guides explain the choices that most often affect format, artwork, quantity and production planning. Final templates and factory tolerances are issued only after the exact production route is selected.

How Record Foundry works

SKELVAR manages the production path. Specialist manufacturing partners make the physical product.

We do not present Apollo as the owner of a pressing plant. SKELVAR acts as the project and production-management interface: qualifying the release, coordinating the selected manufacturing route, managing specification and proofing, and keeping the physical formats aligned through production and delivery planning.

Production-ready audioFinal masters are supplied by the customer. Vinyl cutting and production-mastering requirements are confirmed per project.
Manufacturing templatesArtwork is prepared against the selected format, packaging and finishing specification before production approval.
Rights controlledThe customer must own or control the rights needed to reproduce the submitted recordings, artwork and other supplied material.
