Gold Rush Vinyl is an independent vinyl record pressing plant founded in Austin, Texas, USA in 2018, and is 100% independently women-owned and operated. It primarily offers full-service custom vinyl production for musicians worldwide, covering everything from mastering to pressing. It is also an officially authorized manufacturer of authentic RIAA Gold and Platinum record certification plaques that contain real gold and real platinum. To date, it has pressed millions of records for Grammy-winning artists, independent DIY bands, and commercial brands.
Its core business is pressing 12-inch single/double LPs and 7-inch 45 RPM single records. It supports a wide range of custom options, from classic black to custom mixed colors and hand-poured special colorways, and accepts small-batch orders starting at just 100 units. All orders require custom quoting. Due to the way fixed setup costs are distributed, unit pricing goes down as order volume increases. Payment terms are flexible: pay in full upfront for a 5% discount. Clients who don't want to pay full upfront only need to put down a 75% deposit to start production, and settle the remaining balance after test pressing approval. Beyond vinyl pressing, the plant also sells online recycled vinyl merchandise and branded goods made from waste vinyl.
Pros: Gold Rush Vinyl operates its own physical factory, unlike many middlemen in the industry that outsource production, so quality control is fully in-house. The brand claims a defect rate lower than 0.05%, and customer reviews consistently praise the quality of its output. Most team members are musicians or vinyl industry professionals themselves, so communication is professional and smooth, lead times are faster than the industry average, and it supports custom special color options — it’s very friendly to small-batch independent musicians.
Cons: There is no public price list, so you have to request a custom quote individually. The factory is based in the US, so shipping costs are high and lead times are long for Chinese customers. It does not offer direct shipping to China, nor does it provide master mastering services, and the barrier is still relatively high for individuals needing extremely small runs.
This site is a good fit for independent musicians and record labels based in North America that need custom vinyl pressing. Chinese users can access and browse the site normally and request quotes, but will need to arrange international shipping on their own.
