Bristol CDs, ready for the EP launch.
Bristol presses physical product harder than most cities its size. The drum & bass and dubstep lineage that runs through Idle Hands and Black Acre, the DIY post-punk wave coming out of Stokes Croft and Easton, the folk and acoustic circuit through The Old Duke and the Thunderbolt, the experimental electronics at Strange Brew, the Friendly Records crowd in Bedminster, the Rough Trade in-stores — this is a city where a CD on the merch table still gets picked up, and where the buyer cares what it’s made of.
Order today, send your audio and artwork, and you’ve got finished CDs in Bristol 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Enough breathing room to lock in the launch date, get the posters up, and have a stack sat at the venue the day before doors. Ecopak is the most-ordered Bristol format by a clear margin — 350gsm recyclable card, no plastic tray, the kind of thing that fits a DIY release without compromise. Tighter window? Express is £30, but message us first to confirm capacity.
If you’d rather see and feel the print quality before you commit to a full run, order a proof copy — a fully-assembled CD using your own artwork and audio, posted to any Bristol address. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment to a full run.
Four ways to press a CD.
Ecopak CDs
4-panel recyclable 350gsm sleeve, no plastic tray. Our most-loved format. Matte or glossy.
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 Bristol take?
Door-to-door it’s about thirteen working days. Twelve working days from artwork approval to the boxes leaving Glasgow, plus one working day on the Royal Mail Special Delivery van to a Bristol address. Booklets and 6/8-panel sleeves add a few days, and replication runs take longer than duplication by a clear margin.

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.
