During CD and DVD duplication, content of a master disk is typically copied onto one or more blank CDs or DVDs without losing data quality. CD duplication services typically use what is, in the simple terms, a scaled up version of a home PC fitted with a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive.

Who needs cheap CD duplication?
Virtually every business and not-for-profit organisation, and many private individuals, can use cheap CD duplication to their advantage. Millions of disks are created by CD and DVD duplication every day: data disks, video disks and audio disks in quantities ranging from a few pieces to hundreds of thousands of items. There's a place for high quality, cost-effective duplication wherever data needs to be distributed.

How does a typical DVD or CD duplication service work
Commercial duplication uses special manual or automatic duplicators that can handle long and short runs and combine high quality printing. Manual duplicators are ideal for runs of up to ten copies. When larger quantities are required, stack-fed automatic duplicators that can create many copies in a row are capable of handling hundreds of copies at a time.

More than just copying data
CD duplication usually involves more than just copying digital data from one disk to another. When printed disks are required, sophisticated print-capable duplicators take existing graphics files and print them onto the upper surface of each new CD or DVD.

Typical CD duplication prices
As of late 2009, leading CD duplicators are offering duplication on silver or white top CD-R from well under £0.40. This is for duplication from a master supplied by the customer and with black print from artwork supplied by the customer. Prices for DVDs or colour print are slightly higher than the entry-level CD duplication price.
