DVD Replication Service

Understanding DVD Replication

Many people may not understand what DVD replication is and that is because the process is complex. It is a process used for large volume projects. A glass master is made using the content provided by etching the data into it with lasers. We then use our state-of-the-art replication equipment and press your content into a plastic mold. This produces rings with your DVD coding. The discs are topped with aluminum and a lacquer coat. After we have applied all of the layers and it is complete, we send it through quality control and testing phases. The discs must meet our high quality expectations.

After this process, we send them off to our finishing department where they apply your desired graphics by screen printing or offset printing in brilliant full color. Once your graphics are applied, your discs can be packaged with printed inserts and are ready for shipment.

DVD replication is only cost effective when used for larger quantities of discs. There is a larger setup cost involved, so for smaller jobs, it is most effective to use CD Duplication or DVD Duplication. CD Duplication or DVD Duplication has a quicker turnaround time of two to three business days as opposed to seven to 10 days for DVD replication.
