We are thrilled to announce that @objectsmanufacturing has been honored with the “Preis für Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften” at the @listentoberlin : Awards 2024. This prestigious award recognizes our commitment to sustainable business practices within the Berlin music industry. Since commencing operations in 2023, our Berlin-based vinyl pressing plant has focused on supporting a robust local music economy.  This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible team. Your unwavering commitment to excellence and sustainability has been instrumental in reaching this milestone. We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to continuing our journey towards a more sustainable future in the music industry. Special thanks to @senwienbe , @senkultgz , @berlinersparkasse , @ibb.berlin @berlinmusiccommission @mwmberlin and of course to the @listentoberlin team for awarding us. 🤍 A quick shoutout to @sorvcarr —girl, you absolutely killed it! Your performance was everything—music, moves, vibe—all perfectly on point. You even got the entire crowd up from their seats, and that says it all. What a moment! ✨ 📸: @_stefanwieland_

A test pressing (often called a “TP”) is the very first small batch of records made from your freshly cut and plated stampers. Usually, only 3-5 copies are pressed. Its purpose is to check everything before full production starts: • Audio quality – making sure the cut translates well onto vinyl. • Pressing quality – verifying groove depth, stereo balance, center holes, and general consistency. • Compatibility – ensuring the record plays correctly on turntables. • Final approval – giving the artist, label, and pressing plant confidence before running hundreds or thousands of copies. It’s critical because once the full pressing round starts, any error (whether in the cut, plating, or pressing) would be multiplied across the entire run. Approving the test pressing means you’re satisfied with both the sound and the pressing quality, locking in the green light for final production.

When it comes to shipping vinyl, the packaging matters just as much as the pressing. We offer three shipping options: standard, express, and palletized freight. For orders above 400 records, we highly recommend pallet shipping. Not only is it more efficient, it also reduces the risk of damage to outer sleeves and packaging. While no shipping method can ever be 100% free from carrier handling issues, we do everything possible on our side: careful in-house packing, reinforced protection, and working with trusted logistics partners.

Don’t underestimate the cutting step. ⁠ Too often, cutting studios are chosen based on price alone but the cutting step is the foundation of your record’s sound. Without a great cut, there’s no great-sounding vinyl. ⁠ Knowing who is cutting your music, how they’re doing it, and what gear they’re using (lathe, head, stylus) can make a real difference, especially depending on your music type. ⁠ Not to mention the important choice between lacquer and DMM. ⁠ We see the impact of these decisions every day in production. That’s why we’re always happy to advise and connect artists and labels with trusted cutting engineers tailored to your sound. ⁠ Feel free to reach out before your project kicks off we’re here to help you get it right from the start.

As part of our Meet the Team series: Meet Vipin – part of our Electroplating team at Objects. With a strong background in quality assurance and inventory control, Vipin brings precision, discipline, and a sharp eye for detail to our in-house galvanics department. His experience at Tesla and Hive Technologies, combined with his aviation mechanics training, makes him a valuable force behind the accuracy and consistency of our stamper production. We’re proud to have him on board! 📸: @maxhartmannphoto

Why do over 90% of our clients come back? Because we press records the way they’re meant to sound with care, precision, and no compromises. We’re not just a factory. We’re musicians ourselves. We know what should be there, what shouldn’t. We understand what makes a record feel right and we go the extra mile to get it there. Vinyl has its limits, but most issues are avoidable when you know what you’re doing. We’ve learned to embrace the challenges and make the format work in your favor.
