Any small run pressing plants in the USA?
Seems like if you want to get small runs of records pressed your only options are really going with Eastern European countries through a broker... There's like a million brokers but they all go through the same three plants.. you can tell by the basic pricing structure and s*** even discmakers are brokering for these plants but just taking more for themselves..
If I want “Made in the USA” on my records is there an option if I need less than 5,000 copies?
And don't try to pitch me on lathe cuts, I got a guy...

Re: Any small run pressing plants in the USA?
Plants like Musicol and Palomino have been pressing ultra small runs for decades. To suggest the smallest pressing run is 5,000 units seems a little odd.

Oz, I haven't had records pressed since the 90's.. I used 5,000 bc that's the maximum the overseas plants will handle.. figured if one was to want that many URP would take care of it

5,000 is not the maximum that overseas plants will handle. Please stop with the misinformation.

That's literally on discmakers website.. but going through a broker is stupid if you can get in to the line of one of those two places.. honestly would rather have home made "USA"

I used Vinyl RP in Jacksonville for 100 copies pressed. New Orleans Record Pressing does small runs too.
I think a lot of the newer plants, that I'm assuming run two Warmtones, or NewBuilts, etc, are into the smaller runs.
editing to say I love Musicol too, they were just previously mentioned

Palomino is my go-to for short runs. Ive heard good things about Archer and Blue Sprocket as well. But havent used them.
