What is CD and DVD Duplication?

CD/DVD duplication is often known as burning and this involves copying information from one disc to another. The duplication equipment etches information onto a recordable disc with a laser. This method is most effective for producing limited quantities more than one, but fewer than a large run 1,000.  The advantage of duplication over replication is a much quicker turn around time.

What is CD and DVD Replication?

Replication is where the complete disc including the information stored on it is manufactured from scratch by cloning the original. The process involves creating a glass master this acts as a blueprint for the replication process, the discs are then created as identical clones of the original. This process can be complicated so it is only really considered only for large runs of 1,000 plus copies.  The advantages for using replication over duplication is the lower costs per unit on large runs, however the turnaround time increases by around 10 days.

CD/DVD Labelling and Packaging

Once we have completed your discs we can then offer labelling and packaging solutions.  We are able to screen print or litho print directly onto the face of your discs in up to six colours. 
You will also need to decide on the type of packaging you require.  We can provide the CD/DVD’s on a spindle, in clear plastic wallets or custom printed cardboard or plastic cases.
For both the labels and wallets we can print from existing artwork if you have some. This will need to be supplied to us as a high resolution print ready PDF to our specifications. 
If you do not have artwork our designers can create something that is engaging and eye catching for your target market.
