CD Replication

Music CD manufacturing companies can help you clone the contents from your original copy. This process is called replication. In order to replicate the content, they will create a glass master copy. The glass master is produced by coating the glass with chemical and burned with a laser. It serves as a negative and will be coated with a compound in order to act as a mould for replicating CDs. It involves a complex process of production. Aside from that, the quality of the replicated CDs and DVDs depend on the quality of the glass master. Thus, it is important that you only hire experts in performing this service.

CD Duplication

CD duplication is known in the industry as 'burning'. The music CD manufacturing companies utilize a duplicator in order to extract the data from your master copy. The data are then written on a blank CD. The advantage of having it done expertly is that the companies can burn hundreds at one time through the help of in-house towers. Thus, the CDs are burned simultaneously. Once the information on the CD are verified, the burning process is completed.

Which one to Choose?

Both CD duplication and CD replication offered by music CD manufacturing companies offer efficient use of time and money. However, it is essential that you know which service to avail so you can reap the benefits of availing such. CD duplication is recommended when you have less than 1000 CDs to burn. On the other hand, replication is required when it comes to copying files when there are more than 1000 CDs involved. Aside from knowing the kind of service that you will have to avail, you should also look for a reliable manufacturing company. Make sure that their products have passed ISO standards so you can expect high-quality in terms of produced output. The best manufacturing process will ensure you that your duplicated CDs are within the same quality as those which have been replicated.
