** NEW TAPE OPTIONS! **

Two big updates to Mobineko's cassette tape options.

We now have C-90 tape available so recording is no longer limited to C-60. Our system will automatically calculate whether your order can use thicker C-60 tape for best quality or C-90.

Also check out our new full coverage printing option. If you have a specific design in mind please discuss with your account manager, they will be happy to help set up your templates to get the right effect.

** Mobineko EXPRESS Update **

Thanks to the addition of our on-site plating company Futoneko and some extended shifts we can now offer 3-5 week turn time for Express orders!!

Since we believe in 100% transparency here are the caveats: lots of things have to go right for a vinyl order to get out the door, with these ultra rapid turn times there is no room for a broken stamper or QC fail that happens occasionally. Machines can break down, weather stoppages can happen. Most orders will go out in these times but please don't spend all your life savings on a release party in 5 weeks time then place an order.

We may be able to press white label orders with no printed packaging even faster than 3 weeks but no guarantees!

Production times don't include shipping.

Turn time is paused between the time we ship TPs and you approve them.

Please allow 6-8 weeks for colour orders and don't forget we are away at Xmas and CNY.

NEW 3D stamper engraving available starting this weekend!

Either fill one side with a large image like a classic laser engraving, or just engrave on the ourside edge leaving 10" for your music, or engrave on the label area for a very cool label-less design.

Process of 7'' on our Mobineko Press.

We can finally share the results of our massive project to add in-house cutting and plating!

No expense has been spared on buying the absolute best equipment including a brand new plating system from Digital Matrix. We have also built our own stamper finishing and automation equipment to get the absolute best - and repeatable - quality.

Having the ability to make our own stampers will avoid some recent vinyl industry bottlenecks and allow us to offer some crazy fast turnaround times in the near future.

Don't worry, we still offer the choice to get your lacquers cut with Levi @ BBM or our other partner studios.

If you are interesting in learning more about how the cutting and plating process works check out our sister company Futoneko for more in depth videos soon: https://www.facebook.com/futonekotw
