A record press is a machine for manufacturing vinyl records. It is essentially a hydraulic press fitted with thin nickel stampers which are negative impressions of a master disc. Labels and a pre-heated vinyl patty (or biscuit) are placed in a heated mold cavity. Two stampers are used, one for each of side of the disc.

Newbilt's double system featuring two presses and an extruder, hydraulic power supply and a trimming machine costs $161,250 while a single-press system will set you back $100,000.

Stampers are sent to the pressing plants and are used to actually stamp out, or press, vinyl records. From the father we can create approx 3 mothers, and from each mother roughly 5 stampers. And each stamper can be used to make up to 2,000 vinyl records!
