CD & vinyl manufacturing

Big Heavy World has been producing CDs for more than a decade and knows what it takes to pull one together. As an artist, you've probably put everything you've got into your music and the last thing you want is to screw up getting it into people's hands. We know the feeling, so we partnered with our CD manufacturing company (Healey TMS) to offer simple manufacturing packages meant to get you from your audio master to the store shelves painlessly. Our representative Eric Willison is wicked nice (and professional); your project will be in good hands and we have artist-friendly pricing, too. Your order helps support Big Heavy World and its projects (The Vermont Music Library & Shop, WOMM-LP 105.9FM 'The Radiator', etc.) so you know we're grateful you'd press your disc through us.

  1. Promo CD Package $495 + Shipping

    For a quick (cheap) start to getting your music out, we can press 500 CDs and deliver them in paper sleeves that have a window letting the two-color silkscreened CD art show through. The CDs are produced with a glass master - they're 'real', not CDRs - and will be inexpensive to mail because they're flat and light in the sleeve. This package is good for booking demos or full-length press mailings, promos, and EPs or singles.

    • Quantity: 500 audio CDs (glass master replication);
    • Two-color on-disc silkscreen;
    • White paper sleeve with window and flap;
    • File check, eProofs, prepress setup & films (from your supplied artwork);
    • Assembly;
    • Standard turnaround time - shipping is additional.
