Pressed in time for the Sugarmill Friday.

Plan backwards from your gig date

Stoke’s indie scene has always punched above its postcode. A Friday at The Sugarmill, a DIY night at The Underground, a Saturday in Hanley at The Exchange, a Keele student union slot — the merch needs to be there when the doors open, not posted to a depot in Wolstanton on Monday. We build the timeline around the gig date, not the calendar.

From audio and artwork sign-off to finished CDs on a ST 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 ST1 through ST21 postcode covering Hanley, Stoke, Burslem, Tunstall, Fenton, Longton and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Whether it’s a single drop, a debut EP for a four-piece, or a small-run press for a label working out of Stoke-on-Trent, the schedule lands the same way. Need it faster? Express is £30 on top and prioritises your production slot, but message us before ordering to confirm we’ve got the capacity. We don’t take express slots 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 Stoke address. £4.99 covers Royal Mail postage. No commitment, no follow-up sales call.

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.

Twelve working days for production plus one working day for Royal Mail Special Delivery to your ST postcode. Replication takes 16 working days. Add a couple of days if you’re including booklets or 6/8-panel sleeves.
What’s the minimum order for CD duplication Stoke?
25 units for duplication, 300 units for replication. Most Stoke indie releases land between 50 and 200 units — that range is where we live.
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, posted to any Stoke address. £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.

Yes. Card Sleeve CDs start at 25 units and are the cheapest per unit — ideal for student band debuts, society releases, end-of-year compilations or charity fundraisers. Klarna at checkout lets you spread the cost over instalments at no extra charge.
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 Stoke clients.

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?
