  1. A pair of labels, or, in this case, pictures that will appear on the disc are placed on both the top and bottom halves of the mold. A blob of melted vinyl pellets is then placed between the pictures.
  2. The press is activated and forms the vinyl into a record with labels (shown here) or pictures attached. The excess vinyl is cut away, leaving the finished product.
  3. The record is then placed in a weighted stack to assure an even cooling that prevents bending or warping.
