CD PRESSING AND DUPLICATION

Duplication.com has been replicating and duplicating compact discs since the early days of the medium! In over 35 years we've expanded our facitilities to print all manners of CD packaging in-house. This includes jewelcase covers and traycards, wallets, 2-panel sleeves, Digipaks, and more.

All print is available using offset and digital press, unless noted otherwise. We can customize your print project to your liking! Our printing press is capable of adding effects such as embossing, lamination, color foil, debossing, pantone matching, and more! Take a look at our gallery, and don't hesitate to email us with any questions.

Replication is a term that applies to optical disc manufacturing, and describes the professionally pressed silver discs you would find in stores. With replication, your music or data is recorded onto a glass master. From the glass master we make nickel stampers. The stampers are placed onto injection molding machines where raw plastic (polycarbonate) is injected and molded into the shape of a CD or DVD. The discs are molded replicas of the original glass master. CD replication is ideal for a professional presentation, runs of over 250 units, and to be compatible with a wide range of CD players. Over time, the lasers in CD players weaken, and will have more trouble playing a duplicated CD-R rather than a replicated disc.

CD Duplication is the process for burning discs, otherwise known as CD-Rs. These are ideal for shorter-run albums or demos, or simply for those who have cost in mind. There is no minimum order, and the turnaround time is within a week. In addition to silkscreen print, we can also print using high quality Epson inkjet.

Replicated discs are printed using silkscreen, which can have up to four different spot colors or a full CMYK image. This is the highest quality print available for disc. CD duplication can also be printed using silkscreen, or our high quality Epson digital print.
