CD FAQ
One is speed. CD Duplication has a turnaround time of 1-5 days (depending on the packaging required).
The other difference is that CD Replication sees your CD physically made from a glass master. This, in turn, contains your data, be it music or software.The Glass master is used to create a stamper. The stamper is used to create a physical disc from polycarbonate.
It’s a long process; however, the costs of CD replication are lower than that of CD duplication, if you can wait for the turnaround time.
CD duplication is quicker in terms of turnaround times. Because we use grade ‘A’ physical CDRs, then duplicate the content on to them. It’s faster as the CD already exists as opposed to CD replication.
The main advantage is reduced cost, as with anything the more you buy, the lower the price.
