How long does vinyl pressing take?
Plan for five to six weeks from approved assets to shipping. That window is the same for a 7 inch and a 12 inch, and the same for UK, European and US orders.
The clock starts when your audio and print-ready artwork are approved and the order is placed, not when you first ask for a price. Color vinyl and more complex sleeves can add time to that window. Your test pressing approval sits inside it, and you have four working days from receiving it to sign off. Miss that and the lead time extends, so the date on your quote is no longer guaranteed.
