LOW VOLUME CD REPLICATION

Ideal for Music CDs, and Audio Books on CD
If you need a professional service at reasonable rates for small numbers of pressed CDs, we start from as low as 300 copies - so you have the chance to test your market without a huge initial investment. The unit cost is higher, of course, but once the Glass Master is made, any subsequent runs of the same audio material will be less costly. To keep the overall costs down you may opt for single-colour on-body printing, directly onto the silver disc surface.

Your pressed music and audio CDs can be delivered on spindles, or packed into clear plastic sleeves, jewel cases, or other packaging of your choice, with printed booklets and inlays if required. We provide you with all the templates you need to produce the artwork for your CD production. If you are selling in retail stores you will want the packs cellophane-wrapped, and if you wish we can help you obtain your own Bar Codes. The Master for music replication can be provided on Exabyte tape or properly mastered, high quality, audio CD-R.

LARGER VOLUME CD REPLICATION

For quantities of 500 or more replicated CDs the unit cost falls significantly as volume increases. The standard glass mastering charge is £150 but for quantities over 2000 copies this is included in the disc price. You have a choice of full-colour silkscreen or offset litho on-body printing. The discs can be returned to you on spindles, or in the packaging of your choice, for example plastic wallets, jewel cases (with or without printed inserts), Amaray-style cases, Lansing Packs or Digipaks. We specialize in offering customised packaging solutions to enhance your CD production.

FEATURES of key2audio™
key2audio™ is the successful predecessor of key2audioXS™ with more than 30 million discs protected worldwide. A hidden signature applied to the disc during glass master manufacturing prevents playback on PC/MAC and thereby prevents copying or track ripping.

key2audio™ products are highly reliable and compatible because the audio part fully complies with the Red Book standard - not a single bit is changed in the audio data stream. In other words, no uncorrectable errors are used to protect the audio data. This gives the highest audio quality for your protected music.

A protected CD still achieves a maximum recording time of 77 minutes and supports full ISRC, UPC and CD-Text capabilities.
