SKELVARRECORD FOUNDRY
Record Foundry · Vinyl Pressing
Custom vinyl pressing built around the release, not a generic record package.
Choose the format, running time, record weight, colour treatment, jacket and finishing around the music. SKELVAR then manages the production pathway and coordinates the physical edition as one project.

Production pathway
Audio first. Format second. Finish third.
Running time, side allocation and production-ready audio affect the cut. We confirm the intended format and manufacturing pathway before artwork templates and premium finishing are frozen.

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.
