Pressed in Glasgow on recyclable 350gsm and 300gsm card, sent next working day by Royal Mail Special Delivery to any NE postcode. Ecopak, Digipak, Card Sleeve and Jewel Case from 25 units, full-colour printed with on-body disc artwork as standard.
CD duplication Newcastle covers short-run CDs (25–299 units) shipped to any NE postcode — central Newcastle plus Gateshead, Jesmond, Heaton, Byker, North Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and the wider Tyneside. We press in Glasgow and dispatch by Royal Mail Special Delivery for next-working-day arrival. 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 Cluny Friday, the Wylam Brewery Saturday, the Sage Sunday matinee.
Newcastle’s music scene runs three nights deep on a good weekend. A four-piece launching at The Cluny or The Cluny 2, a bigger headliner at Wylam Brewery or Boiler Shop, a Saturday night at Riverside or Think Tank?, a Sunday folk session at The Bridge Hotel, an early-evening recital at the Sage Gateshead. The merch table needs to be loaded before the doors open — not the morning after the show.
From audio and artwork sign-off to finished CDs on a Tyneside doorstep, the door-to-door window is 13 working days — twelve for duplication, full-colour CD print and assembly in Glasgow, plus one for Royal Mail Special Delivery to any NE postcode. Central Newcastle (NE1–NE6), Gateshead (NE8, NE9, NE10), Jesmond and Heaton, North Shields and Tynemouth (NE29, NE30), Whitley Bay (NE25, NE26), Sunderland (SR postcodes by the same standard delivery), plus the wider Northumberland reach — all next-working-day, tracked and signed for. Tighter window for an Evolution Emerging slot or a Hit the North weekend? Express is £30 extra and prioritises your production slot, but message us first to confirm capacity. We don’t take express orders we can’t hit.
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 Newcastle or North East address. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment, no follow-up sales pitch.

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.
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.
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.
