You're a band, solo artist, label or distributor – and planning a release that should be more than just another streaming entry? A vinyl refined by us is no mere audio carrier. It's a collectible, stage merchandise, gift and cover artwork all in one. We refine your pressing into Liquid Filled Vinyl, Sand Filled Vinyl, Glitter Filled Vinyl or Custom Filled Vinyl – machine-precise, hand-refined, made in Germany. If you already have a pressing plant, continue pressing there as usual and send the pressings to us. If not: We offer the complete package of pressing and refinement through our long-standing partner pressing plants. One contact, one project, one run.

Key Benefits
Everything from One Source – If You Prefer.
Already working with your own pressing plant? Production simply continues there as usual. Don’t have one yet? We provide pressing and refinement from a single source – no vendor hopping, no technical translation errors, with a binding delivery date.
Every Copy Unique.
The liquid distributes differently when spinning, differently when standing still. No two Liquid Filled Vinyls from the same pressing are identical. Collectors know this. Your fans will love it.
Full Fidelity. No Tradeoffs.
33⅓ or 45 RPM, audiophile quality. The audio track sits in the outer vinyl layer, the liquid sits between. What arrives at us as an audiophile record leaves as an audiophile-refined record.
Limited. Numbered. That’s It.
Refined vinyls don’t work as mass market products – and that’s exactly what makes the appeal. Runs starting from 10 copies. What’s sold is sold. Scarcity you can communicate to your audience with a clear conscience.
Made in Germany. Handcrafted Quality.
Refinement entirely in Mühlacker, Germany, Baden-Württemberg. Mechanized where precision matters. Hand-crafted where it makes the difference: mixing, quality control, finishing. No Asia routing, no CO₂ disclaimer hidden in the fine print.
Personal Advice, Not a Configurator.
Refined vinyls aren’t a product you add to a shopping cart. We discuss pressing runs, filling, format, design and delivery time in a 30-minute conversation – in person, with a real contact, under NDA if needed.

„Many can press your music onto a record. We turn it into something your fans won’t want to put down.“
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

Customer feedback
We had a milestone, an iconic band, and knew a standard pressing wouldn’t be enough. Vinyl Manufaktur created a Custom Filled Vinyl we never could have imagined – each record is a unique artwork, every play brings something different. They handled delivery directly from the pressing plant without us lifting a finger. The moment we held the first copies, we knew: This is a release that will define the story for years.
