From Passion to Practice
Vulcanis Merch (formerly Blackout Studios) was founded in 2019 to help support independent artists and labels with physical media production, logistics, design, and fulfilment.
Since then, we have helped create countless pieces of merchandise for artists of all sizes — from those playing their first shows, to those selling globally to millions of listeners.
We use a wealth of experience in design, print, and logistics to create the most interesting and unique products possible, whilst also helping clients stick to their budgets. From hand-crafted runs of five items, to mass-market releases in the hundreds or thousands.
We have a passion for making, and will always be eager to bring your vision to earth — and aren't afraid of going the extra mile just to make your ideas truly shine.
Our Values
Don't Focus on The Numbers
From 100 to 10 million monthly listeners — we work at any scale and build a custom solution that fits exactly where you are. We won't shut you out just because you haven't had your big break yet.
Trust and Transparency
100% transparency at every point in the process so you have all the information you need to make the best possible decision.
Innovation Over Trends
We have produced multiple world-first ideas with our partners. Rather than following trends, we push creative boundaries to ensure your work stands apart from the crowd.
Collaboration At Every Step
We don't just do — we collaborate, talking with you at every step and offering insight to help realise the best possible form of your ideas.
Value for Money
We hate to think that we would ever be comlicit in finding you a bad deal. We will champion the best methods and best practices whilst still making sure you aren't conned by a supplier.
Care and Attention
Every release deserves to be treated as special, and we will make sure it is. Regardless of how big the launch is or how many copies you are making, we will treat every project with the same importance.
