Operating since 1993, they've carved out a niche in short-run manufacturing with a focus on eco-friendly solutions—notably being the only disc manufacturer to completely eliminate plastic jewel cases from their offerings. Their Atomic Eco-Pack™ represents their commitment to sustainable alternatives while maintaining affordability for independent artists. Despite digital music's dominance, they've reported steady revenue growth by focusing on small-batch production that aligns with the practical needs of today's musicians.
