If this is the first time you're making CDs and you're shopping around, look no further! We've been making CDs since the early 1990s for demanding clients like yourself who want a real professional quality product at an affordable price. Cardboard CD packages are a great alternative to heavy CD jewel boxes. If you are looking classic jewel box packages, you can find pricing right here.
These CD Pressing packages include: 100% commercial quality just like major label artists, ready for retail sale and perfect playback in every CD player. Official factory-pressed discs from a glass master (not burned CD-R copies). Includes classic offset printing of the covers and silkscreen printing on the CDs. Please be sure to compare specs carefully, because we know most competing quotes for less than 1000 units will include digital instead of offset print. If you want to save a little bit on orders under 300 pieces we can custom-quote with digital print. Digital printing can have good print quality but it doesn't match the presentation quality of offset print with a shiny coating. Cardboard wallets and jackets include sturdy 15 point cardboard with an option for thicker 20 point board or brown recycled 18 point chipboard. Aqueous (AQ) gloss coating on the board and paper products adds a nice sheen and protection from fingerprints and scuffing. We can also do reverse board print, matte AQ, spot UV, soft touch, and other finishes. Embossing and foil printing is also available. All paper is FSC-Certified and made in North America with sustainable practices. High-quality precision glass mastering and stampers for low disc error rates and reliable playback Skilled pressmen to get the best print results Guaranteed turntimes FASTEST TURNTIME in North America for a professional product Secure double-boxing of your CDs for safe shipping anywhere in North America

| · | For CD PRESSING packages we assume you will supply a final mastered DDP image from your mastering engineer. Some studios still supply a master on audio CD-R which we can convert to DDP image. If you want to supply audio files you need mastering. Your studio could do it or refer you to a mastering engineer. If we do a straight transfer of your audio files to CD your files must be 16 bit, 44.1 kHz WAV or AIFF format and you must choose the option for how much space you want between the songs. We can do sample-rate conversion in our mastering studio. **If you are supplying audio files please pay special attention to the specified space between the songs. If your tracks have been mastered as an album then it is likely that you want the default option "0 pause seamless mix" because your mastering engineer has already set the spaces between the songs. Otherwise you may want 2 or 3 seconds between songs. Finding the right pause is what a mastering engineer will help you with. |
