*Illustrative inbound planning only, not a quote or all-in funding target. One applicable sales commission is accounted for on vinyl revenue after refunds, excluding shipping and tax. No production markup is added. The target covers reference raw manufacturing plus entered quoted extras only. Freight, processing, packing, color upgrades, fulfillment and other unquoted costs may increase it. Future band-stock sales are separate, not preorder cash. Runs above 500 copies require a custom quote.

Start with the release.
Find your color.
Use supplier color codes rather than a screen-perfect promise. Effects, weight and format compatibility will be checked.
Eco Mix shades vary. Rainbow Eco Mix is a separate request for runs of 500+ copies. Picture discs, shapes and specialist effects require a bespoke review.
