We press vinyl records in-house using a fully automated custom modified SMT 12 inch press.

Record manufacturing creates 2 inches of excess vinyl which gets trimmed off the edge. Every single pressing plant regrinds this vinyl and mixes it in with virgin vinyl in their production chain. This introduces dust and foreign elements in the vinyl which ends up creating scratches and noise on the final record.

We only use 100% virgin vinyl at Capsule Labs for a superior quality product. We collaborate with local artists to recycle our excess vinyl into art instead.
