The Standard Digipack - Some people call it the crème de la crème of CD packaging. We like to think of it as the replacement to the old fashioned jewel case. You know, the type that shatters when you drop them, or crack when you sneeze. The Digipack is not only classy and environmentally friendly, it has quickly become the new industry standard for CD packaging. Nobody said you can't package DVDs in these babies also! Our Digipacks use 100% recyclable materials and are printed using green friendly ink.

Duplication (less than 500)

Duplicated discs (often called burned discs) are 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. This is more cost effective for small runs and takes much less time to produce. We use the highest quality CD-Rs on the market to ensure maximum quality and compatibility. There is not really any audible difference between replication and duplication. There might be a small percentage of older CD players or car stereos that is unable to play duplicated CDs. This is rare, but it does occasionally happen.

Replication (more than 500)

Replicated discs (often called pressed discs) are 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 set up process, it is common to require a minimum of 500 discs for replication.
