AIM members across Ireland and the UK now eligible for exclusive 5% discount on vinyl fulfilment services.

Anthem Vinyl, Ireland’s only vinyl pressing facility, is proud to announce its official partnership with AIM Ireland, in a new initiative that offers real, practical support to independent labels, artists and rights-holders.

Through this collaboration, all AIM members – both in Ireland and the UK – will now benefit from an exclusive 5% discount on Anthem’s vinyl fulfilment services.

The offer marks a significant step in strengthening infrastructure for independent music in Ireland, and reflects Anthem Vinyl’s commitment to reducing barriers around vinyl production, logistics, and global sales fulfilment for smaller operations.

Supporting the Independent Ecosystem
Anthem Vinyl was built with one goal in mind: to create a world-class, sustainable pressing facility on Irish soil that puts artists, labels, and fans first. That same spirit drives
its partnership with AIM.

“Working closely with AIM Ireland gives us a real opportunity to support the independent community in a meaningful way,” says Anthem Vinyl Commercial Manager, Chris Keena.

“We understand the challenges of getting vinyl made and delivered efficiently. This collaboration is about making that process more accessible, more affordable, and more aligned with the needs of independent music businesses.”

Fulfilment Built for Today’s Marketplace
As part of its service offering, Anthem Vinyl now provides an integrated direct-to-fan fulfilment option, available exclusively to clients manufacturing with the plant. This allows records pressed at Anthem to be shipped directly to fans across Ireland, the UK, the EU, North America, and beyond — all from a single, central location.

With logistics routed through Ireland, clients can benefit from a streamlined alternative to traditional UK-based fulfilment models, reducing complexity, avoiding unnecessary
handling, and supporting smoother cross-border delivery.

Sales shipped via Anthem’s fulfilment service will also be reported to the Official Irish Charts, supporting visibility and maximising first-week momentum.

The fulfilment service is available for pre-orders, limited editions, and direct-to-fan campaigns. It can be paired with Anthem’s full suite of services, including colour variants, Smart Vinyl upgrades, and retail-ready packaging.

AIM Ireland’s Joe Clarke commented:
“This partnership gives artists and labels real power – they can now press and fulfil their records locally, with fewer moving parts, better control of costs, and an easier route to fans. It’s an exciting development, and we’re delighted to support it.”
