SKELVARRECORD FOUNDRY
Record Foundry · Packaging & Finishing
Turn a manufacturing run into an edition worth keeping.
Packaging is where physical music earns its place. Jackets, sleeves, inserts, booklets and finishing should feel coherent with the music and artwork — not like standard factory options selected at the end.

See how different physical releases could look and feel.
These are illustrative SKELVAR Record Foundry release designs created to show format, genre, colour, packaging and collector-edition possibilities. Final artwork is supplied or approved by each customer and production specifications are confirmed per project.
Physical music, properly managed
Format, manufacture, packaging and delivery in one production brief.
Every project is quoted against format, quantity, runtime, colour, packaging, finishing, current production capacity and destination.
CD & cassette
Keep visual continuity across formats while respecting the very different physical proportions of each package.
- Digipaks
- Card sleeves
- Jewel-case print
- J-cards and cassette cases
Premium finishing
Use finishing selectively to add tactility and hierarchy rather than decoration for its own sake.
- Gold or silver foil pathways
- Embossing
- Spot UV
- Serial numbering
Retail finishing
Assembly and protective finishing are confirmed as part of the production specification.
- Assembly
- Protective bags / wrapping
- Barcode artwork placement
- Carton and delivery planning
Production pathway
Design for the object, not just the screen.
Artwork must be built to the final manufacturing templates. Spine widths, folds, cut lines, bleed, label areas and finishing zones are checked before print approval.

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.
