CD duplication Southampton means short-run CDs (25–299 units) delivered to any SO postcode. We press in Glasgow and ship by Royal Mail Special Delivery for next-working-day arrival.

Southampton CD duplication, ready for the Joiners show.
The Joiners is a tiny pub on St Mary Street, and half the bands that have ever mattered have played in the back room before anyone outside Southampton had heard of them. Engine Rooms on West Quay Road. 1865 on Brunswick Square. Heartbreakers down on Bevois Valley Road for the heavier nights. Add the Solent and Southampton Uni student-band scenes pushing fresh acts onto every bill in town, and you’ve got a release calendar that needs CDs on the merch table the night the doors open — not arriving a day late by courier.
Order today, send your audio and artwork, and you’ve got finished CDs in Southampton 13 working days later — twelve days for duplication and full-colour CD printing, one day with Royal Mail Special Delivery to any SO postcode. For a Common-weekend release that’s a clean three weeks of breathing room. 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 feel the print quality in your hands before committing to a full run, order a proof copy — a fully-assembled CD using your own artwork and audio, posted to any SO postcode. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment to a full run.

What artists say about us.
Honestly, I couldn’t be happier with how the CDs turned out. The team kept me in the loop the whole way through, the print quality is sharp, and they arrived ahead of schedule. Genuinely lovely people to work with.
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.
