Digipak CDs
Four panel and clear tray to hold disc, this thick 350gsm sleeve looks impressive and expensive.
Once duplicated, Digipaks are great for albums, EP’s or special edition releases. In fact, you might want to have them in a 6 or 8 panel version with two, three or four CD’s! We can also add a booklet to your CD duplication. The possibilities are endless.
With the short runs starting at 25 units and replication starting at 300 units you can easily find your sweet spot. It takes us around 10 working days for CD duplication and 16 working days for CD replication.
All Ecopaks include CDs and duplication/replication
Ecopak CDs
Introduced only recently, but quickly picked up by mainstream artists and labels – ecopaks are an eco-friendly CD duplication option. Ideal for albums, EP’s, or special editions.
Ecopaks are printed on a recyclable 350g card (it’s really thick and feels really nice) with a four panel sleeve. The concept is pretty much the same as the digipak but without the plastic tray holding the disc. Instead, we have a slit on the inside right panel where we can securely slide the CD in.
This is by far our most popular eco-friendly CD print sleeve.
Having an eco-friendly CD is something you should be proud of. We’re a big supporter of this duplication format. It only takes 10 working days to get them duplicated. 16 working days for glassmaster replication. Both matte and glossy finish available too (without any extra costs).
All Card Sleeve include CDs and duplication/replication
Card Sleeve CDs
Card sleeve CDs also known as CD card wallets are our most cost effective and fastest to produce CD printing option. Often used as a promo or single release.
We print them on a thick 300g card which makes them feel really sturdy and of a high quality.
Two printable panels (plus CD onbody art) give you enough space to design your artwork. All of the templates can be found here. As with all of our CD prints we can add a matte or glossy finish to get the best out of the colours.
The minimum run is 25 units, CD replication starts at 300 units so we can accommodate any of your needs.
Both CD and DVD discs will look great in the card sleeve. It takes around 7-8 working days to get the card sleeve CD duplicated. 13-14 working days for glassmaster replication.
All Jewel Cases include CDs and duplication/replication
Jewel Case CDs
Probably the most famous printing case – the jewel case. It’s been with us almost 30 years and still has its fans.
If you plan on releasing music with a bigger booklet, jewel case would be your best duplication option as the costs are pretty low compared to digipak or ecopak booklets. We can do your jewel cases either with a clear or black CD tray.
This sleeve type also takes less time to make. Around 10 working days for duplication and 16 working days for the replication. The minimum run is 25 units and the replication starts at 300 units.

To choose what’s better to suit your release here’s the explanation of the processes.
CD Duplication is the process of taking blank, recordable discs (CDRs or DVDRs) and writing the information on them with a laser. It’s used mostly for the short runs of CD manufacturing (1-300). Turnaround: 5-8 working days depending on CD packaging.
CD Replication is the process of creating a glass master and stamper of your data (CD Audio, CD-Rom, DVD video, digital files, DDP ) then injection molding the discs using that stamper. The CD replication process starts at 300 units and offers significant value for money during bigger runs. Turnaround: 9-12 working days depending on CD packaging.
Sometimes you might not need 300/400 units of printed CDs but only small batch. We’re able to accommodate your needs by offering short run CD printing and CD duplication starting at only 25 units. All of our sleeve types can be produced as short and cheap runs of CD duplication. Card sleeves, Digipaks, Ecopaks and Jewel cases can all be produced as short run CD batches.
It’s our mission to help you get the best looking and sounding CDs. Our designated team will help you with the artwork issues occurring during CD printing. Not enough bleed, text too close to the edges, the low resolution of the artwork are only a few problems we come across during the CD manufacturing process. Our expert team will help you avoid all those mistakes and help out at every step of the CD printing.
Each of the sleeve types can have additional booklets printed. Digipak, Ecopak sleeves and Jewel cases can have the CD booklet printed and inserted into the left pocket of the sleeve. CD booklets can be printed as 4, 8, 16 or 32 pages.
It’s common from other companies to require specific formats, ways to upload and all other time-wasting processes. We got our CD manufacturing process laid out very simple for you. Send the audio files either in .wav format as separate files or DDP image. Upload it using your preferable storage service (wetransfer, google drive, dropbox etc) and email us the download link. Once we get the files our designated audio team will perform checks, embed the metadata and CD text for you. Let us do all the technical stuff and you focus on your music.
