Founded in 1994 by British expat Sarah Robertson, A to Z Media makes physical music releases and custom packaging for independent labels, artists, distributors and major music companies. The company grew from Robertson’s New York loft-based effort to help underground record labels into a bespoke manufacturing partner known for coordinating complex releases—from records and printed books to unusual merchandise—in a single package. A to Z says it has delivered tens of thousands of finished products over nearly 30 years, with offices in New York, Portland and Milwaukee.
