DVD Duplication vs. DVD Replication

 
 

DVD replication is a manufacturing process where a disc blank is "stamped" much like the old phonograph record. This process is best when more than 1,000 discs are required and you are not on a tight deadline. The DVD duplication process uses a laser to etch a dye layer and is usually chosen for shorter runs or when a fast turnaround is required. With our printing capabilities and using the highest quality hub thermal printable DVD media we can provide a "replicated" look in any quantity. Ask for a sample printed disc.
