Record Foundry · Production Process
From finished music to finished physical release.
The process is deliberately structured. We confirm rights, production-ready audio, format, quantity, artwork, proofs, manufacturing decisions and delivery before the run is released into production.

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.
02 · Confirm rights
Production only proceeds where the customer controls or is authorised to reproduce the submitted audio, artwork and other material.

- Side allocation for vinyl / cassette
- Production-ready files
- Runtime review
04 · Build artwork
Artwork is placed onto the final manufacturing templates for the chosen format and package.
- Bleed and cut lines
- Labels and disc faces
- Spines and folds
- Finishing zones
05 · Proof & test
Digital proofs are approved before manufacturing; physical test pressings or test cassettes are used where included in the selected production pathway.
- Artwork proof
- Specification sign-off
- Test pressing where applicable
- Test cassette where applicable
06 · Manufacture & deliver
The run is produced, assembled, packed and prepared for the agreed delivery pathway.
- Manufacturing
- Print and assembly
- Quality-control pathway
- International freight planning
Production pathway
No automatic factory hand-off.
Record Foundry remains the project interface through specification, proofing and production coordination. Exact lead time and delivery are confirmed against the live manufacturing schedule for each 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.
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.
