Our standard turnaround is 10–15 business days from proof approval.

Rush fees are shown as an option on each product page.

Duplication (CD-R) burns your music onto high-quality blank discs. They play well on most modern players, but some older CD players may have difficulty reading them.

Replication (pressed CDs) are professionally manufactured from a glass master. We create the disc from scratch by pressing molten plastic, resulting in a more durable, higher-quality product that is 100% compatible with all CD players.

Pressed CDs cost a little more, but we offer them starting at just 100 units. At 100 units you can choose either duplication or pressed directly on the product page.

We can start as low as 25 units.

• Duplication (CD-R): Available for orders of 25 to 100 units
• Pressed (Replication): Available from 100 units and above

At 100 units you have the choice between duplication or pressed (at different prices). All orders above 100 units are produced using the pressed/replication method for the best possible quality.

For the highest quality and most streamlined process, we recommend a DDP image.

If you don’t have a DDP, we also accept WAV files at 44.1 kHz / 16-bit (the CD standard). Using WAV files adds one extra step during the proof/approval process, but the final audio quality will be identical to a DDP.

MP3 files at 320 kbps are also acceptable but they are a compressed format so not technically as good as a WAV file.

Don’t worry, if you’re unsure just send us what you have and we’ll check everything for free before production!
