Plan your release

Does Serenade custom design my Smart Formats?
Once an order is placed, if your Smart Format requires custom design work, we can either provide simple templates for your design team or support you directly with the design process.
Similar to a vinyl record, CD, or cassette, the core structure of each Smart Format is fixed, but many can be personalised with your own artwork, colours, and fonts.

What digital content can be included in Smart Formats?
Your Smart Format can include photos, videos, audio, and other file types such as PDFs or ZIPs. This might be backstage images and videos, demos, voice notes, high-quality audio files, or anything in between.
If you’re aiming for chart accreditation, the general rule is that any content directly related to the album or EP being sold is permitted.
