Replication Benefits:

Quality & Accuracy

Fully integrated computers perform in-line inspections for full conformance with your original master. This ensures that the 1000th, 10,000th or 1,000,000th disc will be an exact replica of your original.

Speed

Leading Technology machinery developed for CD / DVD Replication are wonders in themselves. They perform at near perfect reliability at very high rates of production.

CD/DVD Duplication

CD/DVD Duplication is ideal for Low Volume and/or Quick Turn requirements. Known as CD-R, CDROM, DVD-R, DVD-ROM or CD/DVD Recordable Disc Duplication, CD/DVD Duplication is the process of duplicating data onto an existing pre-made disc.
This disc is known as a CDR, short for Compact Disc Recordable, and DVDR, short for Digital Versatile Disc Recordable.

CD/DVD Duplication is very similar in theory to duplicating a 3 1/2" Diskette, Audio Cassette or Video Cassette. In all cases you are duplicating data onto existing media. Unlike CD/DVD Replication, you begin this process with a pre-made disc that is capable of receiving recorded data.

Disc Replication is most ideal for high volume projects with longer turn times. CD/DVD Replication is the manufacturing process that essentially, replicates or "clones" your original master disc. A Glass Master is created from your original master.

From the Glass Master a set of "stampers" are made.
The stampers, or molds, are the blueprint for the CD/DVD replication process. Stampers are mounted into a High Tech injection mold machine.
In the molding process, a replica of the mold is created in the form of a 4.75 (120 mm) plastic disc. The formed disc is then coated with a micro-thin reflective layer of aluminum.

The final stage of the CD/DVD REPLICATION process involves the application of a protective lacquer that is spun onto the disc and then hardened by ultraviolet (UV) light. The replication process is now complete.
All processes are performed in-line to ensure quality, accuracy and speed from start to finish. The completed disc is now ready for printing on an automated high-speed silk-screen printing press.

Duplication Benefits:

Quick Lead-Time!

Without the need of longer machine set-up times or Glass Mastering delays, CD/DVD Duplication is ideal for your quick lead time or short run requirements.

Lower Costs!

With no Glass Mastering, the costs for smaller quantity runs can often be more affordable than with small run Replication costs.
