Centre labels

100 mm across, the size plants print for a 12" record. One for each side, with the centre hole cut out so it sits on the turntable's spindle. Names, side and speed are set for you, with that side's songs underneath.

Your own art fills the whole circle, bleed included: make it at least 1252 px square and keep words away from the centre hole.

Print it

Page size

One page per piece: the sleeve, then the insert front and back, then the centre labels. 300 DPI, 3 mm bleed, crop and fold marks. The cover JPG is the front on its own, square, for Bandcamp and streaming.

Paper

14 pt (300–350 gsm) C1S board

Coated one side, printed on the coated side. It's what pressing plants make jackets from. A print shop will score the folds for you; ask them to check the spine width against how many records go in. Most plants also have their own template, so line this up with theirs before you send it.

Insert: 100 lb text or 80 lb cover (150–216 gsm), printed both sides.
