Cardiff CDs, ready for the single drop.
Cardiff runs two music ecosystems in parallel. The English-language indie circuit moves through Clwb Ifor Bach, Tramshed, Porter’s and The Moon — guitar bands, singer-songwriters, post-rock, the steady stream of artists rotating between Cardiff and the Welsh Music Prize crowd. The Welsh-language scene moves on its own clock, anchored by Sŵn Festival and labels like Recordiau Libertino, with a buyer who still picks up the physical product as a vote for the language as much as for the music. Both audiences want the CDs on the merch table the night before, not the morning of.
Order today, send your audio and artwork, and you’ve got finished CDs in Cardiff 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Welsh-language tracklists, accented characters, bilingual sleeve copy — all handled exactly as supplied; we proof everything by email before anything goes to press, so you can spot a missing tô bach before the run starts. Tighter window? Express is £30, but message us first — we don’t take express jobs we can’t deliver on.
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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff take?
Roughly thirteen working days door-to-door. Twelve working days from artwork approval to the boxes leaving Glasgow, plus one working day on the Royal Mail Special Delivery van down to a Cardiff 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.
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.
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.
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.
