01 / Built for Sheffield releases

Sheffield CD duplication, ready before the Leadmill show.

Plan backwards from the gig date

Sheffield runs on its venues. The Leadmill on Leadmill Road. Sidney & Matilda down at Sidney Street. Yellow Arch Studios up in Neepsend, where half the city seems to record at some point. The Washington, the Greystones, Network. The release is the gig, the gig is the release, and the CDs need to be on the merch table when doors open — not arriving by courier the morning after. Our timeline is built around that.

Order today, send your audio and artwork, and you’ve got finished CDs in Sheffield 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery to any S postcode. For a Tramlines-weekend release that’s a clean three weeks of breathing room from order to doors-open at Hillsborough Park. If your gig’s tighter than that, we’ve got an express slot you can book for £30, but message us first to confirm capacity — we don’t take express orders we can’t deliver on.

If you’d rather see and feel the print quality before committing to a full run, order a proof copy — a fully-assembled CD using your own artwork and audio, posted to any S postcode. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment to a full run.

05 / In their words

What artists say about us.

Real bands · real releases

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.

06 / Common questions

Sheffield CD duplication FAQ.

Got a question? Call 07769 383 510
How long does CD duplication to Sheffield take?
Twelve working days for production plus one working day for Royal Mail Special Delivery to a Sheffield address. Replication takes 16 working days. Add a couple of days if you’re including booklets or 6/8-panel sleeves.
Which Sheffield postcodes do you deliver to?
All S postcodes — S1 through S36 — covering central Sheffield (S1, S2, S3), Kelham Island and Neepsend (S3), Sharrow and Nether Edge (S7), Crookes and Walkley (S6, S10), Hillsborough (S6), Heeley and Meersbrook (S8), and out to Rotherham (S60–S66), Chesterfield-adjacent postcodes and the Peak District edge. Royal Mail Special Delivery covers every S postcode the same way — next working day, tracked, signed-for, no surcharge.
Can I have my CDs ready for a Tramlines-weekend release?
Yes, if you order in time. Tramlines lands at Hillsborough Park each July, and our standard 13 working day door-to-door turnaround means you want to order roughly three weeks before doors. For a Friday Tramlines opening, that’s ordering by the middle of the month previous — comfortable lead-time on artwork rounds. If you’re tight, the £30 express slot is there, but message us first to confirm we’ve got the capacity.
What’s the minimum order for CD duplication Sheffield?
25 units for duplication, 300 units for replication. Most Sheffield indie releases land between 50 and 200 units — enough for a Leadmill or Sidney & Matilda merch table, a Bandcamp run, and a handful for press and radio.
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, we cover the rest. The proof copy is standalone — you only order a full run if you want to.
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 for most of our Sheffield clients — the DIY-label crowd in particular tends to lead with Ecopak.
Can I get my Sheffield 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 code embedding and CD-Text are included with every order, along with audio transfers and artwork amendments. No bolt-ons.
How can I pay for my Sheffield order?
Card, PayPal or Klarna at checkout. All major cards accepted. Klarna lets you spread the cost over instalments at no extra charge.
