The plain-label record

What a white label actually is

A white label is a pressed record with a blank or minimal label: no artwork, no branding, just the music and maybe a stamp or a scribble. Labels press them as promos before release day; DJs press them because a plain 12" in a disco bag is the cheapest way to get a loud, durable club record made. A dubplate is a different thing: a one-off disc cut in real time on a lathe, quick to make and quick to wear out. A white label is the real, pressed article. It plays the same on the thousandth spin.

Three ways to label it

Plain, stamped or printed: your call

Plain white

The classic. Blank white labels, black disco bag, nothing to read and nothing to leak. What promos and club runs have shipped on for forty years.

Letterpress

Your text pressed into the label stock, one clean impression. The stamped look without hand-stamping 500 records yourself.

Full colour print

CMYK printed centre labels when the record needs its artwork. Same press, same vinyl, dressed up.

Cut for the club

Loudness is a length decision

The louder you want the cut, the less music the side can hold. Shorter sides mean wider grooves, and wider grooves mean more level and more low end. That is the whole reason club 12"s run at 45. Drag the slider to see where your side length puts you.

The detail lives in the answers:

8 min
45 RPM

Cut it at 45. Short side, wide grooves, maximum level. This is where club records live.

Level the lathe can give you
One partner, both formats

Press it here, release it everywhere

No pressing plant can do this part. The company pressing your white label also runs digital distribution to 150+ stores and streaming platforms, so the club copies and the streaming release are planned around the same date by one partner. Beatport delivery is available as a paid add-on on any plan, and Traxsource is available on Partner accounts.

Every run includes at least 10 test pressings from your actual stampers, and nothing presses until you approve them. How test pressings work

Quick answers

White label questions

What is the difference between a white label and a dubplate?

A white label is a pressed record from stampers, made in a run, with plain labels. A dubplate is a single disc cut in real time on a lathe. Dubplates are faster to get and wear out with play; a pressed white label costs less per copy in a run and lasts like any other record.

Can I press just 100 white labels?

Yes. Runs start at 100 units, and the plain-label disco bag build is the cheapest way to press 100 records we offer. The per-record price drops steeply at 250 and 500.

Should my 12" be 33 or 45 RPM?

45 for singles and for any side you want loud, 33 1/3 for longer sides. More groove passes the needle each second at 45, so the cut holds more level and more top end. Send your running times and we will recommend the speed.

What label options are there?

Three. Plain white labels, letterpress with your text pressed into the stock, or full colour CMYK print. All three come on the same 150g pressing, on both 12" and 7".

Can the same order go to Beatport and Traxsource?

The digital release can. Beatport delivery is a paid add-on available on any plan, and Traxsource delivery is available on Partner accounts. The pressing is its own job, but both sides come from one partner, planned around the same release day.

How long does a white label run take?

Five to six weeks from approved assets to shipping, including your test pressings. Approve the tests inside four working days and the quoted lead time holds.
