Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Decide between replication and duplication.
Duplication is copying usually done on tower or automated burners onto blank CD-R or DVD-R media. Replication is factory environment pressing of the discs with results like you would find in commercial music and video stores. Most companies will offer duplication for quantities less than 500 units and replication for quantities over 500 units. Time does also play a factor because if you need your copies in one or two days, replication will no longer be a viable option. And yes, there is a difference between these two processes especially if you are dealing with DVD production. There are still standalone DVD players that will not play DVD-R media and this can be a major concern for anyone distributing video content.
I recommend: CDROM2go has extensive information about the different production and printing processes available. Take a look at the Tech Guy questions and look over the video showing the replication process if you're interested in how it's done.
Find a company you can work with
A simple Google search for 'cd duplication' or 'cd replication' etc will throw up a lot of choices. It is a very competitive business. Add your city or town to the search if you want to work with someone close by. Check out the website and ensure the company clearly explains their range of products. Give them a call to discuss your requirements. Be aware that some companies will give you prices for a two colour onbody label print just to appear cheap and the prices for a full colour print are not as fantastic.
I recommend: Discmakers are the leading company in the US for good reason even though they are a little pricey. 1000 CDs printed and replicated, bulk packed comes in at $789 for a full colour print. If you're looking for someone a little cheaper, try CDman or Mixonic. In the UK, check out Media Heaven
Organise your artwork
It is very important you use the templates provided your manufacturer. Pay particular attention to supplying adequate bleed to artwork and using the CMYK colour profile. Your manufacturer should have clear artwork specifications and even a list of hiccups to avoid. They should also advise you on the printing process which will provide the best results on your onbody CD/DVD print. If you think you might get confused, it's best enlisting the help of a professional designer or asking your CD or DVD company to put the artwork together for you. It makes a huge difference in the outcome if you use someone professional instead of trying to create artwork in Word!
I recommend: Ifreelance is a fantastic site for finding freelance designers at a decent prices. In the UK, you can try Freelancers.net. Make sure you ask them if they have previously produced work for CD or DVD printing.
Decide on your packaging
Think about how you plan to distribute your CD or DVD. Will it be sent by mail? Will it be attached to your promotional literature? Will it be sold at a retail outlet? Having a clear idea will narrow down your packaging options. Most companies should provide you with a range of options varying from a clear plastic wallet to creative packaging such as digipacks and printed card wallets.
I recommend: Sleevetown has a great range of standard packaging including jewel cases of all capacities. If you want something a little more snazzy, have a look at the Super Jewel box and Jewelboxing are well known for their short run work. Again, the company you choose should have a lot of packaging options available and should be able to supply and fulfil them. For more options, check out Media Heaven's creative CD and DVD packaging page.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Choose the CD or DVD company wisely. There are so many fly-by-night duplicators who are not committed to quality. Make sure that you speak to customer service representatives and get a good feel for their project management skills.
- • Always make a copy of your master. In fact, make two or three copies. Send the company two copies in case one disc gets scratched in the mail.
- • Make yourself available. Don't go AWOL after submitting your order. There might be a problem with your master and artwork that can only be resolved by you or your designer. Any tiny issue can cause a delay.
- • Don't plan any events until you actually receive your products. So many companies and musicians plan release dates without having the product in hand. Avoid last minute panic and ensure that you have your goods before planning important events.
