CD Duplication | DVD Replication | Branded USB Sticks

The basic difference is that replication is pressing discs on a production line and is suitable for copying large quantities (1,000 units) and duplication uses lasers to copy data onto CDR or DVDR discs and is a more appropriate method for short print runs. (from 100 copies). Both manufacturing processes offer Litho or Screen Printing onto the on-body surface of the disc.

This process involves printing with water-soluble CMYK inks that are printed onto the printable surface of a CDR or DVDR. Unfortunately, this printing process is not really suitable for discs that are handled frequently, as the ink can come off on your hands. This is due to the fact that the ink is water-based.

We require that all CD / DVD products and printed paper parts are designed using CMYK or PMS (Pantone). If designed using RGB we will have problems with colour match in the printing process.

DVD Authoring is the process of creating an interactive DVD, a DVD that has a main menu page from which you can make the selection to play your video or to go to other interactive menu pages. A scene selection page can include animated thumbnails. DVDs can also contain animated video transitions from one menu to another or an animated introduction to your DVD. Combined together with good video production it is a very powerful marketing tool. We offer an authoring service for DVDs,  contact us for more information
