March 11, 2021 marked the 5 Year Anniversary of Flatbush Zombies’ debut studio album 3001: A Laced Odyssey. To celebrate this milestone, FBZ and Copycats Media worked together to deliver a completely custom re-release of the 2016 gem that everyone loved. This pre-order was available online for only 72 hours, so whatever was bought within that window is what ended up getting pressed. The limited edition physical packaging includes:  The Double LP on “Cotton Candy Splash” 140 gram Colored Vinyl A special mylar slip cover that was hit 3 times with a pink PMS tone Specialty numbered jackets specific to […]

Did you catch the new product for Mötley Crüe’s 30th? In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Mötley Crüe’s Dr. Feelgood album, a specially packaged version of the album along with a variety of select merchandise was released back in December. We had a blast getting to work on this project, and following the release we got the chance to sit down with Melanie Pillette, VP of Production and Digital Fulfillment at Better Noise Music to get the inside details on the entire box set and their experience working with us! What was the inspiration for releasing such a wide […]

Our custom packaging projects are unique to each of our customers, and give us an opportunity to flex our creative strengths in a variety of ways. We recently had the chance to create a custom package for Asthmatic Kitty Records artist Sufjan Stevens, a singer/songwriter based in New York City.

Package Specs: Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket printed on 24pt board, black backside board printing, 5 PMS spot colors, and […]

Another installment of “Completely Custom,” this time featuring the latest from Flatbush Zombies, “Vacation in Hell.” We were lucky to have the opportunity to work on the newest Flatbush Zombies release , “Vacation in Hell, ” and let us be the first to tell you, this one is INCREDIBLE. The “don’t look directly at it,” kind of incredible, because you may go blind from coolness. First we started with a 6 panel digipak. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Nay, not simple at all! This one was printed with a matte finish PLUS a spot glitter UV. We were able to mix actual, real life, […]

Time to feature another custom package we had the opportunity to manufacture here at Copycats! This time around, we were lucky to have the opportunity to work with our friends, and yet another Doomtree Records artist: Shredders. For the inaugural release for Shredders, we added a few unique elements to really make the packaging shine. We printed and manufactured both the vinyl record and cd. There are a lot of similarities on both, but lets start with vinyl! The vinyl jacket was printed on uncoated card stock with a spot UV. Hard to tell from photos, this really should be seen in person. The […]
