When it comes to CD manufacturing, there are two choices in the type of
production you can use; traditional CD Replication or CD-R Duplication.
Please take a moment to review this information if you are not sure what type of CD
manufacturing you need.

CD Duplication 
Ideal for Low Volume and/or Quick Turn requirements.
Know as CD-R or CD Recordable Disc Duplication and even sometimes "Ruplication",
CD Duplication is the process of duplicating data onto an existing pre-made disc.
This disc is known as a CD-R, short for Compact Recordable Disc.
CD Duplication is very similar in theory to duplicating a 3 1/2" Diskette, Audio
Cassette or Video Cassette. In all cases your are duplicating data onto existing
media. Existing media is the key. Unlike CD Replication, you begin this
process with a pre-made disc that is capable of receiving recorded data.
Benefits
- Quick Lead-Time!
Without the need of longer machine set-up times or Glass Mastering delays, CD 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. Through our high-tech print machinery, quality
4-color process printing is available on your CD and Jewel Case inlay cards. As the
printing is done straight from your electronic files, there are no film costs to worry
about.

CD Replication 
Ideal for volume requirements.
CD Replication is the manufacturing process that essentially replicates or
"clones" your original master. 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 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 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.
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 machines developed for CD Replication are wonders in themselves. They
perform at near perfect reliability at very high rates of production. This speed with
accuracy allows for great costing.
- Machinery
Multi-station silkscreen printing presses perform accurate printing on the
surface of your disc, also at high rates of speed with high accuracy.
- Automation
Along with automated replication, assembly is done using Automated High
speed Jewel Case assembly/overwrap systems or Autosleevers.
