AKORD identification
Typical matrix pattern:
2008-2014 Matrix/Runout: [2-, 3- or 4-digit matrix number, sometimes preceded by T] [variable release-specific information]
2014-present Matrix/Runout: [4- or 5-digit matrix number] [variable release-specific information]

Mould stamp: M5
The first mark stamp with which you can also identify the Akord pressing is the "M5" mould stamp from the label side of CD.
Matrix / Runout (Mould, label side): M5
Example: Pluperfect

Mould SID Code: IFPI ZY02
This code was taken over from the Vegart pressing plant in 2009/2010.
"IFPI" - The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry abbreviation has been removed in 2015/2016 from the mould SID code ZY02. The place where the letters "IFPI" should be, only looks like those letters have been carelessly removed - "scratched out". However, the surface in this place is smooth, and it is a mark made during CD pressing. On all CDs on which the IFPI inscription has been removed, this "scratching" looks identical. It follows that this is a permanent, deliberately introduced change.
In this case we add description to this code: "IFPI"-"scratched out".
Example: Halo Halo
