WHAT WE DO:
We specialize in Short Run CD & DVD
Duplication with unique and innovative
packaging and design options. If you are looking
for something creative that will stand out and get
your music heard on a wider scale, then we're your
people! Located in Philadelphia, PA
we are a DIY collective of independent
artists, musicians, and freelance designers that
hope to make your short run CD/DVD project a reality.
Not all bands and independent artists are looking
(or are able) to get the required minimum of 1,000
QTY CDs through replication companies. Most local
and regional artists only require a few hundred
CDs or less. Some would even prefer to have a special
or limited edition version of their work
available for their friends and fans to pick up
at a show. And start up independent labels might
only be looking to test the waters for the first
press of their latest signing, or want a hundred
or so promo CDs to send to the
press.
Don't know where to start? That's where we come
in! We provide quality customer service
and CDs/DVDs at a super low price to help you achieve
your short run CD/DVD Duplication goals.
So let us help you out on your next AND future short
run CD/DVD projects!
WHO WE ARE:
We at Sire Press pride ourselves in being an independent,
DIY company. As a collective of DIY artists, musicians,
professionals, and straight up awesome people, we
are able to offer your band, label, or company the
true 360 experience. By that we mean, each aspect
of the project – outlining the project details,
design consulting, printing, mastering, and customer
service – will all be done by someone who
has firsthand experience in the discipline, and
will do it all with the same love and dedication
you yourself put into the project.
Sire Press humbly started out as a one man operation,
creating uniquely hand-folded and hand-assembled
cases for local bands. The owner, Chris Romano,
previously ran an independent record label for 8
years and worked for a national music magazine.
He knew that in the current climate of music, bands
need to stand out more than ever. Everyone judges
a book by it's cover, so why not have a unique cover
in order to get that first listen. It is no longer
a passing thought to have standout packaging, it
is a necessity.
In June of 2008 we moved from Chris’s basement
to a spot on the roof of a renovated casket factory,
Sire Press truly felt like something real. No longer
considered a hobby or a side-project, Sire Press
was now established as a full-time asset for independent
musicians, artists, and small business owners.
We offer a full line of ecologically friendly packaging
and continue to support the earth by instituting
strict recycling guidelines, reusing shipping boxes,
and when at all possible, utilizing as little air
as possible. Many of our other packages such as
the full color cases line and ejector cases have
a minimal impact on the environment compared to
the industry standard jewel cases.
One thing has always remained the same at Sire Press
– the love and dedication we put into everything
we do. Music is not something that is mass produced,
highly automated, and uniform. It is organic and
highly customizable. The process to produce the
copies of the music should follow the same formula.
Our short run duplication process has a DIY-feel
and is still hand-made. Each step of the assembly
process is done by an actual person, so the same
dedication and love that went into making the music
is carried over into each copy of that master. The
same goes for posters, mailers, press kits, and
our personable and friendly customer service.
So thanks for stopping by and checking us out! If
you have any questions feel free to contact us via
e-mail or phone. We'd love to work with you on any
upcoming project you might have in the works!
