CD duplication is the service on which our successful disc duplication and replication business was originally based. The choice between CD and DVD for a project is typically determined by the quantity of data, the type of content, customer preference and the hardware available to the end-user. For either disc type, the decision to use duplication or replication is usually determined by the length of production run.

Differences between CD duplication and CD replication (applicable to DVDs too)

Whatever the type of disc, copying can be done in one of three ways: single copy; duplication; and replication.

• Making a single copy, though fine for one or two copies is highly inefficient for large volume CD ROM duplication.
   
• Duplication involves copying one disc to another using a drive with write capability. This is ideal for short run CD duplication, but still inefficient for mass CD duplication. Whether multiple disc ‘burners’ or dedicated ‘duplication towers’ are used, this is usually the cheapest CD duplication (DVDs too) process for up to 1,000 copies.
   
• For production runs over 1,000 copies replication is generally preferable to CD ROM duplication. In very simple terms, a CD replication service involves creating precision clones of an original master disc, which are then coated with microscopic layers of aluminium and lacquer before being hardened by ultraviolet light.
