What Is elasticStage? Sell Vinyl & CDs On-Demand with No Minimum Order & No Upfront Costs

What is elasticStage?

elasticStage is the world’s first on-demand vinyl and CD platform for music creators, including independent artists, labels, managers, and rights-holders. We allow our creators to create, sell, and ship custom vinyl records and CDs globally, with no costs, no inventory risk, and no minimum orders.

Instead of pressing hundreds of records in advance, elasticStage uses a made-to-order model: each vinyl or CD is only manufactured when a fan orders it. This means creators can sell their full catalogue physically without ever selling out. Think of it as streaming, but physical.

  • Upload a single, EP, or full album on Vinyl or CD

  • elasticStage generate your own web store for you to sell directly to fans

  • Sell custom vinyl & CDs on-demand, to fans in 90+ countries

  • Buy your own copies (order 1 or in boxes or 20-50)

  • Manufactures in weeks not months

  • Earn royalties on every sale, without spending a penny upfront

  • React fast to viral moments, tour dates, anniversaries, or limited drops

  • Never run out of stock — ever again

Based in London, all products are made to order in-house. You can read more about our materials and how we make a Vinyl here. Our vinyl is trusted by legends like Boy George, Don Diablo, and Nelly Furtado, as well as GRAMMY-winning producers like Paul Epworth and Dan Grech-Marguerat.

The name elasticStage reflects our mission: to stretch the limits of physical music and make custom vinyl and CD creation accessible to all.
