Want to make a few copies of a CD or DVD? Just use the burner on your PC. But producing hundreds or thousands of copies would take countless hours. Make the smart choice - turn to a professional CD production expert that can have your media mass-produced in a matter of days.

Duplication and replication services use high-tech equipment to copy your video, audio, or data files to CDs and DVDs. The equipment monitors the process, guaranteeing that each copy is an exact replica of the master with no errors. CD duplication vendors can print artwork onto the discs, customize the packaging, and ship the finished products to your office or customers.

While the finished product may be the same to the end user, there are two different ways to produce multiple copies. Duplication burns the data onto a recordable disc’s surface, while replication uses a glass master to stamp the data onto discs. Duplication is generally used for small print runs of 500 to 1,000. Once you need more than 1,000 copies, it becomes more cost effective to replicate your discs.
