Short-Run CD DuplicationCD duplication can be a thorny problem for bands. Its a big commitment getting 1000 or even 500 from a mainstream manufacturer. Believe me, I have a small record label, lots of boxes of CDs in the kitchen can look pretty sad after a few weeks!! I generally make the first master copy of both the audio and the artwork for CDs, but can do relatively short runs on CDR which look and sound brilliant. I use only the highest quality audio discs, which are printable using inkjet technology. |
For short runs (50-200) we use M-Tech multiwriters. It is not cost effective to press less than 500 copies; glass masters, mothers and stampers cost far too much to bother with on short runs. The copies can either be printed or non-printed and prices vary accordingly.
I can currently offer 50 and above from £1.19 per copy. Please note, these are printed straight to the CD body and are not a stick on label; the discs are audio quality grade 'A' silver play side injet printable, and look the same as the pressed sort you buy in music shops. Printing of the paper parts is extra and negotiable depending on design specifications and order quantity.
Either call on (0115) 9100843 or 07841 764 317, or email me for more specific quotes.
For runs longer than this I strongly recommend you use a mainstream manufacturer (such as Doc Data or Key Productions) as the cost comes plummeting down with pressed runs of at least 500. We are willing to take this responsibility for you if you wish.
