What's the difference between replication and duplication?
Duplication is when the information is burnt onto the disc using high quality burners, suitable for quantities under 500. Replication requires a glass master which is then used to create stampers, these stamp the information onto the disc producing exact high quality replicas of the original disc. Suitable for quantities over 500.

How long will it take to get my CDs?

How do I get a barcode?
We supply barcodes in-house, all you have to do is give us the relevant information about your product and we will generate the number and insert the image on to your artwork.
Do I need ISRC codes and how do I get them?
Internatiional Standard Recording Codes (ISRC) are essential for the new digital age of music. They are permanently encoded into a product as its digital fingerprint. Encoded ISRC provide the means to automatically identify recordings for royalty payments. To get ISRC codes you need to register with PPL, once registered they will generate the codes for you with your unique label code.
They can then be embedded into the master disc, either at the mastering stage or we can do it for you prior to manufacturing.
