Replication & Duplication:
What
is the difference between replication and duplication?
Replication is a detailed process that involves creating a glass plate
which is used as a stamp to press discs. Duplication is a much less
involved process using CD-R and DVD-R recordable discs.
Read more about how CDs work and the technical difference between the
two processes in how CDs
are created.
Which process is right for my project, replication or duplication?
Typically, replication is more suited for higher quantities, while
duplication is more suited for projects that require fast turnaround or
low quantities. The details of your project will usually dictate the
process that you need. Contact us
if you need assistance determining which process is best for your project
needs.

but we can have your order ready much faster if necessary. ALL
