A Sustainable Choice for Record Labels and Artists
Sustainability is a priority for today’s music industry. Tiny Vinyl offers a significantly “greener” alternative to standard 12″ records, while still being a custom vinyl record.
- Bio-Attributed Vinyl: Made using 100% bio-attributed vinyl, which utilizes renewable plant materials instead of fossil fuels.
- Material Efficiency: One record uses only 1/10th of the material required for a standard full-size record.
- Carbon Footprint: Their miniature size allows for major savings on fuel usage during shipping and storage.
A Proven Format with Critical Acclaim
The industry has already taken notice. Tiny Vinyl manufacturing has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, and The New York Times, described as a “miniature new way for fans to embrace the popular format”. From K-Pop to Hip-Hop, creative artists and labels are already utilizing this format to drive fan engagement.
Tiny Vinyl Manufacturing - Production Considerations
While Tiny Vinyl provides great sound quality, it is important to note that they are designed for manual turntables. Players with auto-stop or auto-return features may require those settings to be disabled to ensure the tonearm can reach the center of the record.
