patrickemmons Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've been making a lot of small runs of 1-color screened vinyl record jackets/sleeves and i'm having a lot of fun doing it. I want to pull together some cash to order more inks & a few extra screens so I was going to offer making a custom 1 of a kind screened sleeve for any release you have without a jacket for only $20 shipped. I would need at least 4-5 people to be down so I could buy a pack of 50 chipboard 12" sleeves from sleevetown (see pic link further down in post) and justify doing this. I'll throw together a simple design based on the album art if there is high enough resolution versions out there, or create something custom. I'll only do 1 piece per design, this is simply for you to store your jacket-less record in, I'm not looking to make money off multiple copies made. Here is the sleeve I'd use for this: I can print on the front and back in 1 color - you can choose the color based on what I have. Turn around time should be around 2 weeks. If you're 100% about wanting to do this, post your VC username & a number (first person start at 1, etc) - once it hits 5 people I'll contact everyone about specifics.

escapeplan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 1 - EscapePlan Hey count me in! I have a test press that would look nice in a custom sleeve. Let me know man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'll give you 10 bucks for one of the RX Bandits' Progress TP covers you did. I think it would look way cooler than the actual sleeve (and you don't have to screen on /24). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'll give you 10 bucks for one of the RX Bandits' Progress TP covers you did. I think it would look way cooler than the actual sleeve (and you don't have to screen on /24). I actually did 4 or 5 prints of the front image on thick black paper as tests before printing on the actual sleeves - i put two of them in the box I sent to ETR and have 2 or 3 in my garage. The red ink is slightly metallic and looks insane on black. I might sell you one of them if I have more than 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'll take one, I need A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner. Actually, if you can do two copies of ruiner that would be better, like maybe a different color for each one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjaicomo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 5 1. Yes, I would love an overprint. 2. To sweeten that, I am also in. I would like one for Look Mexico's To Bed To Battle (and maybe one for Good Luck's Lake Griffy too, but that is getting too expensive). Yeah! We're both named Patrick!!! Tee hee.

Kjm23 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I would be into this in the future when I have a bit more extra cash lying around. I have a bunch of tests that need sleeves badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailhouse Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 How much does sleevetown charge? I have reverse board (for silkscreen) 20pt Staughton Jackets, I sell for as low as 99 cents each or 50 for 30.00 Just wondering... Nevermind, I think you meant to say Stumptown?

patrickemmons Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'd be down with doing 50 for 30 if I end up getting this going - do you do gatefold 10" sleeves by any chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarballs Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'd be down for this too! My Coalesce - Give Them Rope She Said V. 2.0 needs a jacket. I also have a Phobia - Enslaved 7" that needs a jacket. Would you do a 7" for less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine those would be expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scully Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Inside "My Funeral" Not sure what number you're at but if your taking more than 5 i'd love a cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnotherobot Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Damn. Wish I got in on this sooner. My test pressing of Big Business - Head for the Shallow could use some screenprinted love. Also, I'd love to see some more of your work. I'm a bit of a screenprinter myself and always dig checking out other people's work. Do you have a portfolio or an Etsy shop?

somewhereintime Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Phobia - Enslaved 7" that needs a jacket. Would you do a 7" for less? that 7" is rather cheap to pick up, unless its a test, so maybe just buy the actual record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
