Grow Your Portfolio
Risk-Free
Liquid Filled Vinyl becomes part of your premium range with zero equipment investment, no new production lines, no hiring needed. You sell the exclusivity – we deliver the product.
Finished on behalf of your pressing plant
You press.we finish.
Liquid Filled Vinyl – and Sand Filled, Glitter Filled variants – are among the most sought-after specialty formats in vinyl today. They're also among the most demanding. Filling, sealing, and quality control can't be grafted onto a live press line without destroying capacity, exploding scrap rates, and multiplying warranty risk. We solve this. You keep pressing as normal. We handle filling, sealing, inspection, and finishing. The result: your customers get premium formats your competitors can't match in quality.

“You press records of a quality that sets the standard. We give them what makes them unforgettable – with the experience and attention to detail that this finishing process demands.”
Nico Michaelis, Founder of Vinyl Manufaktur
Custom Filled Vinyl
Some artists refuse what already exists – they demand what no one has ever seen. Custom Filled Vinyl is their answer: the ultimate expression of our craft, where we engineer fillings that were created for this moment alone.
Here, every record starts blank. We work directly with the artist to invent a filling formula that has never existed – a true world premiere spinning on the turntable. From conception through experimentation to final pressing, a singular object takes shape that transcends packaging and becomes essential to the music's identity.
The outcome: a record that exists once on Earth – as art, as legend, as the visual embodiment of artistic vision. If your album is meant to write history, this is where it happens.
Custom development of a completely new filling material
Collaborative process from first idea to finished vinyl
Worldwide exclusivity – a unique pressing that will never be made again"
Special Filled Vinyl
Regular records are black. Some are multicolored. Special Filled Vinyl goes beyond. Extraordinary materials live between the layers – dried petals, pearls, confetti, wood veneers, real feathers. Creativity knows almost no limits.
The magic: Every pressing becomes a one-of-a-kind object, its own personality. Watch it spin and the suspended elements come alive – gleaming festively one moment, whispering poetry the next, depending on what's cradled inside the vinyl.
Content thickness limited to 1.5 mm maximum
Combination of different materials is possible
Materials must not be magnetic (cartridge compatibility)
Glitter Filled Vinyl
Some records sound great – and then there are those that dazzle the moment you unbox them. Glitter Filled Vinyl clearly belongs to the second category. Thousands of tiny glitter particles are suspended between the transparent layers of the vinyl, catching light with every rotation.
The result is a small spectacle on your turntable: Depending on the light, the disc sparkles and shimmers in ever-changing facets while the music plays. It's like watching a starry sky rotate in slow motion – hypnotic, festive, and utterly unforgettable.
Wide range of glitter color options
Two different glitter colors are also possible
Can be combined with vinyl printing
Sand Filled Vinyl
Some records you listen to, some you watch – and then there's Sand Filled Vinyl, which you can't help but gently sway. Fine sand, trapped between two transparent discs, flows with every movement like an hourglass, turning your turntable into a small stage.
What's mesmerizing: As the needle traces its path, the sand draws its own patterns – organic, random, never the same twice. A meditative effect emerges that slows the listening experience and keeps your gaze drifting back to the spinning vinyl
Choose any Pantone color for the edge band
Wide color palette of sands to choose from
Custom full-print designs available as an alternative to solid edge color
Liquid Filled Vinyl
Some records you play. Some records you can't stop watching. Liquid Filled Vinyl does both. Colored liquid suspends between two transparent discs, shifting with every rotation – your personal lava lamp on the turntable.
Each record is a one-of-a-kind moving artwork. No play is ever identical; the colors drift differently every time. Listening transforms into a visual ritual – a moment slowed down, music given an almost meditative depth.
Two colors are possible per Liquid Filled record
Single-color fills can also be opaque
Additional floating objects are possible

2:1
Per 100 finished records, minimum delivery of 200 pressings – we recommend 220 units. Why: Filling and sealing operations produce defect rates, which the reserve quantity covers.
Record Weight
140 g
140g recommended. Alternative specifications available on request.
Vinyl-Compound
transparent
Clear or light-tinted vinyl. Black and solid colors available upon request – however, opaque bases reduce the visual impact of the fill inside.

Unpackaged pressings in standard mailers or inner sleeves. No covers, no shrink wrap.
assembly
upon request
If needed, we handle final assembly, shrink wrapping, and direct shipment to your customer – all white-label.

Customer Feedback
“We received a request for a limited edition album in Liquid Filled format – and had no way to execute it cleanly on our own line. Vinyl Manufaktur took on the project without us having to touch our pressing process. Delivery, finishing, return shipment – everything ran smoothly. This is exactly the kind of partnership we were looking for.”
