with dr.dub's cover designer you're able to design your own vinyl covers, download them as PNG in the preview and insert them at your drdub order.

Size
choose the vinyl size you want to design a label for. pocketbattledisk labels are not printed right now.
the label-designer displays all vinyl sizes in the same size, that means that the scale changes. 12" and 7" looks the same sizes, but in reality it's very different.
in brackets you can see the outside size of the label in mm.
template
you can choose from many templates we made for you to use.
They are mostly based on already existing labels from recordlabels
