Nottingham CDs, ready for EP launch.

Plan backwards from your release date

Nottingham’s scene runs deeper than any one venue gets credit for. JT Soar has been the DIY anchor for the best part of a decade, Rescue Rooms and Rock City handle the bigger-stage end, the Bodega and the Chameleon cover everything in between, and Hockley and the Lace Market are where most of the release shows land. The Dot-to-Dot weekend in May pulls bands and labels through town from every direction. Whatever corner of NG1 your record sits in, the brief is the same: physical CDs on the merch table the night before, not the morning of.

Order today, send your audio and artwork, and finished CDs arrive at your Nottingham address 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery to your NG postcode. That gives you the headroom to lock in a release date without sweating it. If the window’s tighter, we’ve got an express slot bookable for £30 — message us first to confirm capacity. We don’t take express orders we can’t deliver on.

To feel the print quality in your hands before committing to the full run, order a proof copy — a fully-assembled CD using your own artwork and audio, posted to any Nottingham address. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment to a full run.

How long does CD duplication to Nottingham take?

Door-to-door · including next-day Royal Mail

Twelve working days from artwork approval to dispatch, plus one working day for Royal Mail Special Delivery to your Nottingham address. So roughly thirteen working days door-to-door for duplication. Replication runs longer at 16 working days, and adding extra booklet panels stretches things by a couple of days.

What artists say about us.

Real bands · real releases

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.

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.

06 / Common questions

Nottingham CD duplication FAQ.

Got a question? Call 07769 383 510
How long does CD duplication to Nottingham take?
Twelve working days for production plus one working day for Royal Mail Special Delivery to your NG postcode. Replication takes 16 working days. Add a couple of days if you’re including a booklet or 6/8-panel sleeve.
Which Nottingham postcodes do you deliver to?
Every NG postcode — NG1 through NG25 — covering central Nottingham, Hockley, Lace Market, Sneinton, Mapperley, Beeston and the two university campuses, and out across Nottinghamshire into West Bridgford, Long Eaton, Hucknall, Newark, Mansfield, Worksop and the wider East Midlands towns. Royal Mail Special Delivery covers the full NG area next working day, tracked and signed for.
What’s the minimum order for CD duplication in Nottingham?
25 units for duplication, 300 units for replication. Most Nottingham indie releases land between 50 and 200 units — we make that range straightforward and the price-per-unit drops the more you order.
Can I order a sample before committing to a full run?
Yes. Order a proof copy — a fully-assembled CD using your own artwork and audio. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage to your Nottingham address, we cover the rest. The proof copy is standalone — you only order a full run if you want to.
I’m releasing around Dot-to-Dot weekend — can you hit the deadline?
Usually yes. Standard turnaround is 13 working days door-to-door, so working backwards from the festival weekend gives you the order-by date. If you’re tighter than that, message us before you order — we’ll confirm whether the £30 express slot is available, and we’ll only say yes if we can deliver on time.
Are your CDs eco-friendly?
Our Ecopak and Card Sleeve formats are fully recyclable, printed on 350gsm and 300gsm card with no plastic tray. We’ve been pressing eco-friendly CDs since 2018 and it’s the default choice for most of our Nottingham clients releasing in 2026.
Can I get my Nottingham order mastered too?
Yes. We work with mastering engineer Tom S. Ray. Send us your mix and we’ll handle mastering, duplication, ISRC and CDDB in one go.
Do you charge for ISRC and CD-Text embedding?
No. ISRC codes, CD-Text, audio transfers and artwork amendments are all included with every Nottingham order. No hidden fees, no extras at checkout.
How can I pay for my Nottingham order?
Card, PayPal or Klarna at checkout. All major cards accepted. Klarna lets you spread the cost over instalments at no extra charge.
