Press
Your music on vinyl, run by the shop. We manage the whole press — audio checks, test pressings, print and packaging — through one of North America's largest pressing plants. You talk to Rectangle Triangle; we handle the rest.

04 / How it works
quote → test pressing → records
Tell us the project
Format, copies, colour — or just the idea. The form below is enough to start.
Get real numbers
We spec the run and come back with a firm quote, usually within a few days.
Prep the masters
Audio and artwork checked against pressing templates before anything gets cut.
Approve the test pressings
Test pressings land at your door first — nothing runs until the wax sounds right to you.
Records in hand
Pressed, printed, assembled — then shipped to you, or picked up at the shop on Atateken.
05 / The fine print
read before you press
What does it cost?
It depends on format, copies, colour and packaging, which is why we quote per project. Runs start at 100 copies, and the per-record price drops fast as the count climbs. The quote is free and commits you to nothing.
What do you need from me?
Finished audio and print-ready artwork. We'll send audio specs and artwork templates, flag anything that will cause trouble on wax, and design help is available if you'd rather hand that part off.
How long does it take?
Typically about eight weeks from approved audio and artwork to finished records. Heavy effects and deluxe packaging can add time — your quote comes with a real timeline.
What's included in a standard run?
Cutting, plating, test pressings, printed centre labels, inner sleeves, printed jackets, assembly and shrink wrap. You get finished records, not a kit.
Who actually presses it?
Our most trusted partners — some of the largest pressing plants in the world, the same floors behind records already in your crate. Depending on the project we can press in Canada, the US or Europe, so finished records travel the shortest road to where they're going: quicker transit, less unnecessary shipping, fewer extra duties and taxes. You deal with the shop from start to finish.
Can I sell it at Rectangle Triangle?
Let's talk. We stock releases we believe in — in the shop, online and beyond. Pressing with us is a good way to start that conversation.
