CD and DVD Replication and Duplication |
| Neato
provides both CD and DVD replication and duplication production
services through our online ordering tools. Both manufacturing methods
result
in high-quality CDs and DVDs. So, what is the difference between disc
replication and duplication? |

CD and DVD Replication
|
Disc
replication is the process of creating a CD or DVD directly from
plastic and other raw materials. From your master disc we
create
a “glass master” which in turn is used to form an injection mold
(stamper) through which discs with embedded content are
produced.
After the discs are produced, we use either silkscreen or offset
printing to apply your artwork directly to the disc. Quality
testing before, during and after production is standard for each
replication project. |

CD and DVD Duplication
| Disc
duplication refers to burning content on a pre-manufactured blank CD-R
or DVD-R. We apply your artwork using a thermal, silkscreen
or
other high quality, on-disc printing process. We perform a
number
of pre-production quality tests on your master and our duplicating
equipment performs additional checks during production. |

Should I Replicate or Duplicate?
|
|
|
|
|
In
general, duplication is best suited for short-run projects up to 1000 units or
for those that require fast turnaround. We can produce your
duplication projects in as little as 1 business day.
Replication
is more economical for long-run projects due to the set-up costs
involved. It also requires longer lead time. We
have a
minimum replication volume of 1000 units and a choice of either 8 or
12-business day turnaround.
From a quality perspective, there is
no difference between the data stored on a duplicated or replicated
disc. Some DVD-Rs may not play on older DVD players; however,
DVD-R compatibility rates are generally around 95%.
We make it quick and easy to design, create and order high-quality,
custom CDs, DVDs, inserts and packaging in the timing that best meets
your needs.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
