Koder i vinylpladernes udløb – fabrikker

Vinylpresseriernes særlige kendetegn

Vinylplader fremstilles på pladefabrikker/presserier, hvor man fremstiller matricer/stampers ud fra de lak-skæringer eller DMM skæringer.

Ligesom med skæremestrenes initialer og symboler i udløbet er det almindeligt, at presserierne også stempler eller ridser deres kendetegn i matricerne, så man senere kan identificere den fabrik der har fremstillet en given plade.
