Custom vinyl records have slowly risen<\/a><\/strong> from its lowest era after CDs have replaced them, and last year was its first success as it surpassed CDs in terms of sales in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

The format also sold millions<\/a><\/strong> of units all over the world, showcasing its increasing audience and increasing production. And as we look into the first half of 2021, we can see a more saturated era of vinyl record releases.<\/p>\n

These numerous releases from musicians of different genres project how custom vinyl records<\/a> have become an in demand audio format for many fans and listeners. <\/span><\/p>\n

But you might wonder why fans still buy the obviously more expensive vinyl record when you can just listen to those songs on online streaming sites. <\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from having better sound quality<\/strong> <\/a>and giving a more tangible experience, vinyl records are also very much collectible, making the fans even more in love with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

This collectibility has also been one of the reasons why musicians are wanting to release vinyl records. <\/span><\/p>\n

And due to fans loving its collectibility, artists have also found ways to make their albums different and unique…ways that would separate theirs from other vinyl records. And that way, my friends, is \u201ccustomization\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinyl records have come a long way already. Instead of the standard black vinyl records<\/a><\/strong> and the white paper inner sleeves, we now have a wide range of options for customization of almost any element that makes up a vinyl album.<\/span><\/p>\n

We now have custom vinyl records that would make your vinyl album worth collecting.<\/p>\n

Before the actual customization<\/b><\/h3>\n

To make your vinyl album worth collecting, the first thing would be to decide how many tracks you will have for your vinyl album. This is really not a step that would increase vinyl record collectibility, but it is a crucial one because everything rests in that decision. <\/span><\/p>\n

After deciding, then you will know in what size it would be pressed on and how many records there would be for one copy of your album.<\/span><\/p>\n

Determining the number is what really matters here because it will help you decide on what to do for the rest of the decision-making phases for your album.<\/p>\n

Choosing vinyl jackets<\/b><\/h3>\n

So the first step in the actual customization of the vinyl album is to choose the vinyl jacket that would house the vinyl records. There are many types of vinyl jackets and here are some of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Single Sleeve Vinyl Jacket<\/a><\/b>: <\/span><\/p>\n

This jacket can only hold a maximum of one vinyl record. it is like a vinyl\u2019s inner sleeve, the difference is that it may or may not have a spine.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Folded Vinyl Jacket<\/b>: <\/span><\/p>\n

This type of jacket has many subtypes depending on the number of folds the jacket has.<\/span><\/p>\n

First is the gatefold vinyl jacket<\/strong><\/a> which can hold 2 vinyl records at most. It is a folded vinyl jacket that has an inner artwork printed on the inner fold of the jacket which is twice the side of the front side of the jacket. <\/span>It\u2019s opening pockets can either be on the outer or inner side of the vinyl jacket.<\/span><\/p>\n
