Custom CD replication, duplication, and disc packaging

CD replication uses a glass master and metal stamper to physically press your music into virgin polycarbonate, with a silver mirror finish. It is the standard process for orders of 500 or more. CD duplication burns your audio to blank CD-Rs at high speed and is used for shorter runs of 100–499 discs. Both formats play in any consumer CD player and look identical once printed and packaged.

100 units for both CDs and vinyl records. The 100-unit minimum lets independent artists test the market with a manageable first run while still using the same professional manufacturing process as larger labels.

Short-run CD duplication ships in as little as 1 day from approved proof. Larger CD replication orders typically take 2–3 weeks. Vinyl pressing runs about 5–7 weeks. Turn times start the moment you approve your art files and master, not from proof approval, so you do not lose days waiting in queue.

We offer jewel cases, digipaks, wallets, jackets, multi-disc packaging, and custom board packaging. All formats are printed in our facility with full-color offset or silkscreen printing and a UV gloss or matte finish. Each format is available at 100-unit minimums.

Short-run duplication is optimized for small batches of 100 to 499 units, where we burn your data directly onto premium-grade recordable media (CD-Rs or DVD-Rs) for rapid turnaround times. Long-run replication is designed for higher-volume orders of 500 or more units, where we create a physical glass master and injection-mold clear polycarbonate substrates to create pressed retail discs. Duplication is highly cost-effective for sudden merch table restocks, early demos, or fast promotional runs. Replication becomes the ideal, economical choice for permanent commercial retail releases where maximum durability and exact physical reproduction are required.

Relying exclusively on digital streaming platforms makes it incredibly difficult for independent musicians to monetize their art, as one single CD sale generates more immediate profit than roughly 3,000 streams.

Physical media allows independent artists to maintain an 85% profit margin, buying a custom CD for around $2 and selling it at a gig for $15. Combining physical products with streaming platforms is the absolute best way to maximize your music business revenue.
