CD Duplication Vs CD replication?

Hi,
I am a musician and I with my band have recently recorded a demo and we want to get a professional package together to send to the usual potential clients. . We plan to publish around 1000 CDs with the relevant details (Band Name, Song Titles and Contact Details) printed on the CD. But we are very much confused that what we should have to use CD duplication or CD replication. If anyone of you have any ideal about this and its provider then please help me.
All suggestions and tips are welcome

 

Hi,
You should always try to use replication service unless you don't have enough time or if your quantity is small. In such case you can use duplication. The artwork for duplication service is usually printed on a paper label and then the label is stuck onto the disc surface. This is labor intensive task and that's why duplication service, despite the lower quality, is more expensive then replication service in terms of unit prices. I know a service provider called www.orbisdigital.co.uk, which provides both CD duplication or DVD duplication and CD replication or DVD replication.
Hope you will be satisfied by my suggestion.

 

Replication is most suited for high volume runs of 1000 units and more. So I suggest you to go for replication. And if you are in a search of CD Replication and Duplication company, here is the link for the site which is among the best service providers - http://www.sfvideo.com/
