Leicester CDs ready before the release date.
Leicester runs more music scenes side by side than its size suggests. The Cookie on High Street has been launching guitar bands for years, the Soundhouse on Southampton Street books the heavier and DIY end, the O2 Academy pulls the bigger names, the Y Theatre handles acoustic and singer-songwriter nights, and the Belgrave Road and Melton Road bhangra and South Asian crossover scene puts out records that don’t always make the indie listings but sell on the merch table and through Asian community channels in serious numbers. Add De Montfort and University of Leicester driving a steady wave of grad bands, and there’s a real and varied buyer here for short-run CDs.
Order today, send your audio and artwork, and you’ve got finished CDs in Leicester 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Plenty of breathing room to lock in the launch date, get the boxes to the venue the night before doors, or have them ready for distribution through community channels and Asian record shops on Belgrave Road. 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 Leicester 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 Leicester 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 to a Leicester 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.
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.
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.
