Welcome to ALBOM45. Here you will discover more than a “run of the mill” manufacturer of product and packaging services. We are proud to have expertise in the use (and misuse) of hundreds of processes which we manipulate to realise our clients creative ideas. This is all led by a team of well versed traditional print and production packaging experts.
At the heart of our operation is our Post-Production Studio where we realise the creative madness of our client’s additional embellishments for their existing finished assembled product stock. This is our most popular range of services as it produces new sales avenues and USPs for products that otherwise lay dormant in inventories. This service is popular with collectable product lines within the Music, Toy/Figurine and Trading/Board Game Industries.
We work very closely with our clients, and uniquely promise clarity where any third party manufacturing is concerned so that informed choices can be made throughout your project. Where our range of in house manufacture requires a more focused tool, mind or higher yielding approach our extensive range of production partners in the UK allows us to offer a vast scope of traditional Print and Production Solutions domestically. If a project requires a further reach, then our global partners trade with us directly offering comprehensive costs and lead times.
These relationships grant us the freedom to not only focus on the creative nature of our services, but also widen our tooling and machinery capabilities. They have historically permitted us access to some niche equipment and information, as well as new project opportunities. Proving repeatedly that our manufacturing collaborations are highly effective in delivering some incredibly refined high quality products.
If you’ve been looking for a short run specialist to produce especially special editions for your special products, we would certainly consider the opportunity to work with you…special!
In addition to our own brand of madness, we produce and manage solutions within the print industry and offer safe hands and realistic communication in Pre-Production Services where we consult on productions for a global client base.
Our experience in these services enable our clients ideas to be realised to their fullest possible potential and we are comfortable to work on projects that are being manufactured in foreign plants and may have complex communication challenges.
At ALBOM45 we take pride in translating what is often perceived as complex production language and presenting it to our clients in an understandable fashion. We present clear explanations of manufacturing choices and the consequences or risks involved within each avenue.
We consult both remotely and in person where applicable, often at mutually beneficial locations. To start the conversation rolling, just give us a call or send us an email and we willl arrange next steps with you.
ALBOM45 & The Music Industry
As you browse our site, you will notice a sway towards music based products and their manufacturing. As well as over 60 years cumulative experience in print and manufacturing, we have worked both alongside and deep within the Music Industry in both the manufacturing of physical products and digital production for online platforms. When establishing the idea of a service which could open up opportunities for labels, distributors and musicians themselves to embellish existing stock in small numbers, we realised that there was also a way to apply this to a wider variety of packaging solutions. Our interest and experience within the toy and board game industries naturally led our conversions and it dawned on us that as long as we understood the physical properties of anything, we would be able to print it, cut it, wrap it, box it, send it… all after a standard product had been manufactured and packaged whilst keeping the original product itself viable for its intended use.
For Music Industry Manufacture, retaining the integrity of the original product is paramount. Not least for the production of speciality, limited edition Vinyl Records. It may be evident to some that our ALBOM45 name is derived directly from the Vinyl Record Industry, of which we have extensive knowledge and direct production experience. The production of music in vinyl format is like no other and, much like print, every day is a school day. We gorge on it.
Vinyl is our first passion and pushing the boundaries of what can be done with a product and its presentation can be euphoric for us. We are excited about every project that finds its home here, so be prepared for us to plan, expand and embellish your own ideas.
We have been fortunate enough to be part of the production teams behind some exciting high end products that have been launched on the market in recent years. Our goal is to make these options open and viable to independent artists and labels regardless of their size, so they can release some truly memorable products.
