Duplication (less than 500)

CD duplication (often called burned discs) is made by burning tiny holes in the dye layer of a recordable CD-R. It is the same process as when you burn a disc on your home computer. We use the highest-quality CD-Rs on the market to ensure maximum quality and compatibility. Our CD-Rs are white on the printable side to provide the best print quality. This is more cost-effective for small runs and takes much less time to produce. There isn't any audible difference between replication and duplication. There might be a small percentage of older CD players or car stereos that are unable to play duplicated CDs. This is rare, but it does occasionally happen.

Replication (500 or more)

CD replication (often called pressed discs) is made by first creating a glass master, then stampers that make exact clones using high-tech injection molding. A coat of reflective aluminum is added, and finally, it gets sealed with a protective coat of lacquer hardened by ultraviolet light. Because of this extensive setup process, it is common to require a minimum of 500 discs for replication.

Dup vs Replicants, template slightly off

"Issue with Atomic template for the 8-page panel and the inside where the cd plastic piece is was off. I followed the exact downloadable template but could see it was off when printed. Other than that all was great. Also, note, if your cds are going to be distributed by a label you need to order the replicants which are not as colorful as the duplicate labels on the CD itself."
