customizable miniature record Tiny Vinyl for artists and fans

 

Miniature and portable record Tiny Vinyl can play a four-minute song on each side of the four-inch disc using any standard turntable. Each record holds up to four minutes of music per side, which is ideal for singles or special releases, and the record measures just four inches across, compared to the standard 12-inch LP format. Tiny Vinyl uses traditional record pressing techniques adapted for smaller formats. The manufacturing process, which uses bio-attributed vinyl, creates authentic grooves that hold audio information just like full-size records.

 

Each pressing run receives sequential numbering with TV numbers printed on both the packaging and the disc itself for authentication and collectibility tracking. In total, the miniature record Tiny Vinyl weighs only 15 grams, lighter than a standard LP’s 140 grams, and its compact size allows it to fit in pockets. Despite its small size, it maintains the classic vinyl record appearance with grooves, center labels, and the familiar black disc format. Artists can also customize vinyl colors and packaging design just like the traditional 12-inch LP jackets and discs.

Vinyl made from renewable plant materials

 

The miniature record Tiny Vinyl uses 100 percent bio-attributed vinyl, a significant departure from traditional petroleum-based vinyl production. It derives from renewable plant materials instead of fossil fuels, and the manufacturing process creates vinyl that remains chemically identical to traditional vinyl. This material choice reduces the carbon footprint while maintaining audio fidelity. Tiny Vinyl records play at 33 RPM on most manual turntables without requiring special equipment. 

 

The records work with standard turntable needles and cartridges, but the turntables with automatic features like auto-stop or auto-return may struggle because their tonearms cannot reach the record’s center while maintaining contact. Users must disable these automatic features or make sure that their tonearm can reach the platter center during playback. Each side of the miniature record Tiny Vinyl holds exactly four minutes of audio content. It may be considered a limitation, but it also makes the format ideal for singles, promotional tracks, or special versions.
