The Future of Records is Crafting — Not Pressing.
Record manufacturing has evolved. VMR Record Labs is designed for modern labels that move fast and demand quality.
Who are we?
We’re musicians and producers who got tired of watching good records die in backlog. VMR Record Labs is a system built by artists—for artists.
Why did we build this?
Vinyl hasn’t changed since the 1940s. It’s expensive. It’s slow. And it hasn’t kept up with the pace of independent music. We realized the problem wasn’t just cost or delay—it was a total lack of innovation. So, we invented something new. Not just to serve our own label, but to serve the global community of creators looking for a better way to get their music heard.
What do we do?
We reinvented the record. Our proprietary VM Record FDM Method® and GrooveTone® finish give each record warmth, durability, and a physical presence—without the downsides of traditional pressing.
How does it work?
You send us WAV files, album art, and shipping info. We craft the records, pack them, and ship directly to stores, distributors, or fans. No storage. No wasted inventory. No hassle.
What do you get?
- A dedicated production rig for your label
- 14-day delivery on small runs (30 max for larger runs)
- $8 flat per unit—no minimums, no fluff
- Fulfillment handled by us, billed to the recipient
- Member-only access to the full system
Who is it for?
Indie labels. DIY artists. Managers building movements. Anyone tired of delays, excess cost, and pressing plants that still run like it’s 1950.
By the Numbers
On orders of 100 records or less, we deliver in 14 days or fewer. Large orders take up to 30—still 3x faster than industry standards.
No minimums. No hidden fees. Just $8 per record—including packaging, labeling, GrooveTone® finish, and fulfillment.
Compared to traditional pressing: No inventory cost. No labor. No storage. No delays. Just lean, streamlined delivery.
