Cd Duplication vs. CD Replication

CD duplication and CD replication are used for both audio and data projects.

CD Duplication refers to burned CD's, like the CD burner that we've in a computer. Except these are multiple burners in a tower & duplicate at slow speeds ensuring a quality play back CD.

This enables run length up to 1,000 at a time. Duplication has faster turn times.

CD Replication begins with a glass master and a stamper are made.

It's a more complicated process & needs to be sent to a CD manufacturing plant.

This enables run length past 1,000 at a time. Replication has longer turn times.

Either process has it's advantages, but really comes down to the quantity you need.
