What is CD Replication or DVD Replication?
We use replication process when your project exceeds 500 or 1000 pieces and you’re not in a rush. Replication is discs stamped from a glass master. Once we receive your master disc or files we create a glass master. The glass master is used as a mold to create an exact replica of your master disc. The glass master will be placed in an injection-molding disc stamper. The process involves injecting melted plastic onto the master mold to form the disc. After this step the disc is clear; we then apply a thin layer of metal to provide the reflectivity needed for CD and DVD players to read. The metal layer is coated with lacquer and UV cured for protection. The disc is now replicated and playable. The disc face will now be offset printed and packaged to meet your needs. Advantage of replication is price. It is much cheaper to replicate a large quantity of discs. Typical turn time is about 7 days.
