CD Duplication
Duplicated CD’s are copied by burning them similar to how you would at home. However we have machines which will do many copies at once allowing us complete projects quickly when you need discs in a rush. People often think the quality of CD duplication as inferior to CD replication but this is not the case. The quality of the audio or data on both duplicated and replicated CD’s is identical as it is a digital 1 or 0. Minimum order quantity: 1 (depending on print style) Available print options: Inkjet, colour thermal, black only Prism, Screen and Litho print. Find out more about CD duplication |
CD Replication
CD replication is also referred to as Glass Mastering or CD pressing. This is due to the steps in the production process. There is a great deal of set up involved but once that’s complete the discs are produced very quickly. Its for this reason that CD replication has a longer lead time, has a minimum quantity but is very cost effective on larger orders. Minimum Economic quantity: 500 (lower quantities are available) Available print options: Screen and Litho print. Find out more about CD replication |

With cheap CD duplication, people can produce very short run promo CD copies instead of manufacturing bulk CD pressing, however in there has been a move to sell duplicated CDs as a commercial product.
There is a need for cheap CD duplication services; if you need a very fast turnaround or a very limited run this is the best option. If time and budget allows professional CD replication offers the most professional solution, when you are selling or promoting your product. The high quality, consistency and a professional image of your product says everything, and cheap CD duplication cannot compare to professionally pressed CD. However if your CD Duplication company adheres to the same standards when duplicating as replicating and operates a quality system using best quality raw materials then your CD duplication should be as good as CD Replication. Advances in CD manufacturing mean whichever route you choose your product will be produced to the highest quality and will last long into the future.
CD manufacturing Time
Unlike CD duplication, CD manufacturing takes a little longer. CD Duplication can be completed same day, our CD Replication typically takes 8 to 10 days. Our fast CD Replication service takes a minimum of 4 days depending on packaging. Your CD master will be inspected thoroughly for compliance to Philips CD Standards, then glass mastered. The glass master is electroplated to create the stamper. In parralel the artwork is checked and sent to print, once printed the packaging is allowed to dry before die cutting and guiltining and folded and glued in the case of card packaging.
Whilst your print is being made production will mount the stamper and CD Press for the CD replication, this way we can time the job to come off CD press and go to the CD printing line for when CD packaging will be ready. The CD’s can now go to the packing department to be packed with the CD printed parts and over-wrapped. The finished CD product is now packed into cartons ready for dispatch.
As you can see it is not as straightforward as popping a disc in a CD duplicator and pressing a button, this is why we normally require approximately 8 – 10 working days depending on the type of packing and quantity to deliver you a professional CD pressing
