When should I replicate and when should I duplicate? What is the difference? What is your turnaround time? What programs should I use to create artwork for my CD/DVD? What are my packaging options? Can you create my artwork for me? Can a barcode be provided? Is it less expensive to use black and white artwork? Is it recommended to mail jewel cases? Can you just get printing on the CDR/DVDR?

When should I replicate and when should I duplicate? For larger quantities over 1000 replication is the most economical choice, while duplication for quantities up to 1000 is faster but more expensive. Go to Top

What is the difference? Replication is a process that involves stamping out the CD/DVD and silkscreening the artwork onto the CD/DVD. Duplication actually burns the information onto a CDR/DVDR then uses a thermal printer to print the artwork. Go to Top

What is your turnaround time? The generic duplication turnaround is 7-9 business days (or sooner), while replication is a 10-14 business day turnaround. On both cases turn time is after all approvals. Go to Top
