What Is Splatter Vinyl?

Splatter Vinyl is one of the most eye-catching vinyl formats available — a creative blend of sound and visual art. In this process, assorted colored vinyl fragments (splatter) are sprinkled onto a base vinyl color, then pressed together to create bold, random bursts of color radiating across each disc.

Think of it like sprinkles on ice cream—vibrant, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.

The Process

To achieve the signature splatter effect, we:

Start with a base vinyl—often clear vinyl for the best contrast.
Carefully scatter shards of colored vinyl across the surface.
Press the vinyl under heat, locking the splatter design into place.

Each record becomes completely unique, as the splatter pattern varies naturally in the pressing process.
