Start with the outcome rather than a factory specification. The Single, The Album, The Collector Edition and The Complete Physical Release give artists and labels a clear starting point; the exact format, quantity, packaging and production route are then quoted around the project.

Start with the release, not the specification
Four packages. Four clear ways in.
These are starting structures rather than rigid factory bundles. Quantity, record weight, runtime, colour, print finishing, test production and freight are confirmed against the final project quote.

Production pathway
Pick the package first. Engineer the specification second.
The named package gives us the commercial intent. We then turn that into the exact runtime, format, weight, colour, print, proofing, test-production, manufacturing and delivery specification required for the release.
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.
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.
