Wonderful news, thanks Aaron!

These blanks work pretty dam well! A bit more surface noise than traditional poly but I used the 2 blanks with Mikes sapphires and they sounded good. Definitely a viable solution in the states. Well done. Glad you got some good results! Blanqs are softer than poly, so you might need to back your we...

Hey Fred, your tracking shows yours are still in route. Sometimes the USPS gets hung up crossing the boarder, but you have your tester pack any second.

Haven't received anything ? Hey David, do you mean that you placed an order you haven’t received? If so, can you please email hello@blanqrecords.com so that we can help you? All orders from folks named David show on our side as delivered, but please be in touch via email so that I can look up your ...

Wonderful, I think you'll be really pleased. We use Mike's sapphires on Blanqs at Leesta Vall as well.

It's specialized/specific stuff.

So my tester pack arrived yesterday and I had some time to do a test emboss with the 1mm 7". it seemed to work really well!.... Thanks for this, I'm so glad they're working for you. A little too much laser strength for the thinner material caused those holes to be a pinch too big. We've already cor...

Hello all!

It's come to my attention that the FREE shipping option for the Tester Pack wasn't coming up for our international friends. That has been corrected.

We have also added USPS Media Mail as a shipping option for even more savings.

Have a great Monday.

We’re working on that now!

Hello again fellow trolls, Since there seems to be some curiosity about who we actually are, I thought I'd provide a little more info. My name is Aaron Zimmer. I own Leesta Vall Sound Recordings (leestavall on LT) here in NYC. A new username isn't an attempt to remain anonymous , but rather just an ...

2 samples in the Tester Pack - a 1mm 7" and a 2mm 7". I'm sure you can understand why we can't send 100 free Blanqs to everyone. As for audio samples, since everyone's baseline is different we thought it was much better to send a couple of freebies to anyone who wanted to try them. Up to you if you ...

Ok, but how do they compare to myshank and souri blanks?

Thanks...

You're going to be very pleased. Order that Tester Pack and try them for yourself!

Why isn't there contact information on the website? Looks very shady. 1 post on Twitter, 1 post on Insta, and 1 post here. Looks like a good product but I'll pass for the time being. There is. The page link is at the bottom of the website. But please email hello@blanqrecords.com to get in touch. As...

Fellow trolls, Some exciting news to share.... http://www.blanqrecords.com BLANQ records are laser cut from specialized PETG, a soft material perfect for cutting or embossing audio grooves using a record cutting lathe. Blanqs are softer than PVC or polycarbonate, and thus easier to achieve grooves w...
