CD duplication Belfast.
Eco-friendly CDs for Belfast and Northern Ireland artists — trad and folk acts, Cathedral Quarter bands, BT-based labels and podcasters. Pressed in Glasgow on recyclable 350gsm and 300gsm card, dispatched by Royal Mail Special Delivery to any BT postcode. Ecopak, Digipak, Card Sleeve and Jewel Case from 25 units, full-colour printed with on-body disc artwork as standard.
CD duplication Belfast covers short-run CDs (25–299 units) shipped to any BT postcode — Belfast city plus Derry, Lisburn, Bangor, Newry, Armagh, Antrim and the wider Northern Ireland. We press in Glasgow and dispatch by Royal Mail Special Delivery, arriving by end of the next working day across NI. Standard turnaround is 12 working days for duplication and 16 working days for replication. Ecopak and Card Sleeve formats use recyclable 350gsm and 300gsm card with no plastic tray.
Pressed for the Cathedral Quarter Friday, the trad session, the album launch at Oh Yeah.
Belfast’s scene runs on three tracks at once. A trad session at Sunflower or McHugh’s. A four-piece launching an EP at The Black Box, Voodoo or Empire Music Hall. A hip-hop act selling at the back of Limelight after a Friday slot. The Oh Yeah Music Centre crowd cycling through Ulster Sports Club and Ulster Hall. Across the lot, the merch needs to be there when the doors open — not waiting on a delayed ferry on Monday.
From audio and artwork approval to finished CDs on a BT doorstep, the standard window is around 14 working days — twelve for duplication, full-colour CD print and assembly in Glasgow, plus one to two for Royal Mail Special Delivery, which is guaranteed by end of the next working day across Northern Ireland. We’re straight about that timing — mainland UK pages promise pre-1pm next-day, but the NI service is a different tier, and it’s worth knowing before you commit to a tight release date. Pad the schedule by a day. We deliver to every BT postcode — Belfast city (BT1–BT17), Lisburn, Bangor, Newtownards, Carrickfergus, Derry/Londonderry, Armagh, Newry, Antrim, Ballymena, Enniskillen, Omagh, the lot.
Want to feel the print quality before committing to a full run? Order a proof copy — a fully assembled CD pressed using your own audio and artwork, posted to any Belfast or NI address. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment to a full run, no follow-up sales call.
Four ways to press a CD.
Ecopak CDs

Digipak CDs
4-panel 350gsm sleeve with clear plastic tray. The classic, premium feel for serious releases.
Card Sleeve CDs
Fastest, lowest cost per unit, fully recyclable. 300gsm card wallet for promos and singles.
Jewel Case CDs
The format that’s been around 30 years. Hard plastic case with clear or black tray. Best for releases with bigger booklets.
How long does CD duplication to Belfast take?
Roughly fourteen working days door-to-door for Belfast and NI — twelve from artwork sign-off through to dispatch from our Glasgow press, plus one to two for Royal Mail Special Delivery to a BT postcode (Northern Ireland sits on the end-of-next-working-day tier, which is reliable but slightly different from the pre-1pm mainland service). Replication runs and orders with thicker booklets or 6/8-panel sleeves add a few days at the production end.

What artists say about us.
A fantastic job producing CDs for our album. I had a short time frame to get them produced in, and the company managed to get high-quality CDs sent to us in plenty of time before our deadline.
Absolutely first class service. Professionally printed and produced CDs. Tom assisted through the whole process. A true gentleman. I would have no hesitation in recommending CD Unity to anyone at any level in the music industry.
Excellent service from the initial steps to my 200 albums being delivered to the doorstep. Mega happy with the CDs — great price, great quality printing and audio. I couldn’t recommend this service enough.
