Tiny Vinyl in action!

Designed for collectors, merch tables and limited-edition releases, the new 4-inch format brings a different approach to physical music - compact in size, but still built around the same tactile experience that keeps fans connected to physical formats.

A small format with plenty of creative potential.

After more than three decades helping artists and labels create physical releases, we’ve launched our first product of our own.

Meet The Fancentric Pack®.

Developed by our fantastic in-house innovation team, Key Intel, it’s a completely new storage format for vinyl, CDs and other physical releases. A concertina-style design that holds multiple discs, fits on standard retail shelving, and creates a different experience for fans and collectors.

Sigur Rós are the first artists to use The Fancentric Pack® for their forthcoming Ágætis byrjun reissue as part of Rough Trade’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

Physical music keeps evolving. Which is why we’re excited to be part of shaping what’s next.

Watch Key Production Group CEO Karen Emanuel on a recent ITV News broadcast discussing the continued resurgence of the CD format, and why physical music remains such an important part of how new generations of fans connect with artists.

It’s always an honour to be asked to share our perspective on our sector of the industry. For more than 30 years now we’ve been working at the heart of physical music, helping artists and labels create products that new generations of fans genuinely want to own.

While vinyl continues to grow, CDs remain an important part of the bigger picture. They’re accessible, highly collectible, and prove that physical music still has a vital role to play in how we all experience and connect with music.

Throwback to 2006 with the Key team !

In 20 years, we’ve changed a lot - but the Companies Act is still stuck in the past.

This Better Business Day, we’re calling on the government to update Section 172 so that all businesses are required to prioritise people, planet and profit.

Let's make some noise and upgrade to Better Business by writing to your MP, it takes less than 60 seconds: https://bit.ly/4dNT9pA

We’re saddened to hear of the passing of Kanya King CBE. Through MOBO, Kanya changed British music. She created opportunities, championed artists who were too often overlooked, and built an institution that has shaped culture for three decades.

Her vision, determination and belief in the power of music leave an extraordinary legacy. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and everyone at MOBO.

World Environment Day is a reminder that sustainability isn't a one-day conversation.

As a B Corp, we're committed to continually finding ways to reduce the environmental impact of physical media production, helping artists and labels make informed choices about the products they create.

From exploring innovative materials and formats to working with trusted manufacturing partners, sustainability remains a key part of how we approach every project.

There's always more to do, but every step forward matters.

As just reported in Music Week, we’re delighted to see Key Production Group CEO Karen Emanuel OBE joining the Ladies Who Rock fundraising committee alongside Julie Weir of Music For Nations.

The annual event brings together women from across the music and creative industries to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, helping support young people living with cancer.

Music is always at its best when people come together around a shared cause. From artists and labels to managers, manufacturers and beyond, we’re all part of the same ecosystem that uses creativity for good.

Best of luck to everyone involved with this year’s fundraiser.

SXSW London kicks off this week, bringing music, film, TV and tech into the same room for a week of ideas, conversations and inevitable debates about where creativity goes next.

For us, it’s a reminder that physical media still sits right in the middle of all that crossover. Records, books, printed packaging, soundtracks, collectibles, and campaigns. All the good stuff. The way people discover culture keeps evolving, but we know that the connection people have with physical formats hasn’t gone anywhere.

Technology is changing manufacturing too. With better short runs, smarter production methods, and more sustainable materials. We're always working on projects that bring new ideas forward... and figuring out how to get from concept to delivery is what keeps us excited.

Small format. Big collector appeal.

We’re excited to be introducing Tiny Vinyl to the UK and European market - a new 4-inch vinyl format designed for fans, collectors and artists looking to explore something different.

As physical music continues to evolve, formats like this create new opportunities for artist merchandise, fan engagement and collectible releases. Compact, tactile and designed to sit alongside traditional vinyl formats, Tiny Vinyl taps into the growing culture around collecting and limited-edition physical products.
