CD & DVD Replication Services
Professional disc manufacturing for commercial releases, publishers,
and organisations requiring long-term reliability and consistent quality.
Our CD & DVD replication service (also known as CD pressing) is designed for projects starting from 500 units or more, where durability, compatibility, and professional production standards are essential. Using pressed disc manufacturing and glass mastering, your content is produced to perform consistently across a wide range of players.
This production method is commonly used for commercial distribution, retail supply, publishing, and large-scale corporate or educational projects where longevity and consistency matter.
How Professional Disc Manufacturing Works
CD & DVD manufacturing (CD pressing) begins with the creation of a glass master, containing a physical imprint of your audio, video, or data. From this master, discs are pressed during manufacturing rather than burned, resulting in superior durability and compatibility.
- Excellent compatibility across CD & DVD players
- Lower per-unit cost for large-volume production
- Highly durable, error-resistant discs
- Industry-standard output used by labels and publishers
Is CD Replication Right for Your Project?
This service is recommended if your project requires:
- 500+ CDs or DVDs
- Retail or commercial distribution
- Archival or broadcast-quality output
- Professionally printed packaging and booklets
If you need smaller quantities or faster turnaround, our CD and DVD duplication service may be more suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
CD & DVD pressing typically start from 500 units due to the glass master process involved. However, short-run replication from 100 units is available on request for an additional setup charge.
Is this better than duplication?
This approach is best suited for large-scale, commercial projects, while burning service is more appropriate for short runs and urgent timelines.
Is CD pressing the same as CD replication?
Yes. CD pressing and replication refer to the same manufacturing process that produces factory-pressed CDs using glass mastering.
Can printed booklets be included?
Yes. Professionally printed inlays and multi-page booklets can be included with all supported packaging formats.
How long does production take?
Turnaround is usually 2–3 weeks, depending on order size and packaging requirements.
Are master files checked before production?
All master files are reviewed to ensure they meet manufacturing standards before production begins.
