CD & DVD Short-run Duplication, Printing & Packaging

TechnoVisual provides short-run, high-quality media duplication. We can offer an array of CD and DVD duplication options tailored to your needs.  Our duplication and printing service is fast, yet makes no compromise on product quality.  Have a look at our packaging options below, we sell all the standard CD & DVD packages and our low volume printed packs such as digipacks and card wallets are the best in the business.

Call us now on 01280 815161 for a very competitive quote, fast turnaround and personal service, including free delivery to the Buckingham area or fast courier delivery anywhere in the UK.  Our prices do assume that discs are included with the packaging, our short run methods mean that each pack is very labour intensive, hense low profits.  For packaging runs without discs please add 10% to the net prices below.

Excellent Short Run Duplication & Printing Prices

Our prices start from:
just 40p each for a duplicated and printed CD with thermal black titling only* 
just 64p each for a duplicated and printed CD with full colour printing* 

See our short run prices in the table below.
For quantities over 500 we offer a 10% discount* on the total net price.
For quantities over 1000 we offer a 20% discount* on the total net price.

All the prices quoted do not include VAT or delivery and the prices quoted for packaging do assume that the discs will be included with the pack.  There are no other hidden costs for the printing and or duplication of discs, no set up charges will be made as long as we recieve your artwork in its final state having followed our instruction for supply of artwork as shown below.  As no set up charge is made for disc duplication and printing, for quantities of below 10 discs per run we do double the price of any disc shown in the table below. 

For a full colour disc printing artwork must be supplied using our template and the instruction guide below.  For the black thermal title print option onto a white or shiney silver disc, the text finish is much more effective if we unput the text into the print software ourselves, therefore, we will require that you supply us with the font you would like us to use, the size and the position. It is a good idea to send us the text layout on the template supplied.  This type of thermal print is best used for text only, and if you do require simple images they must be supplied as 16 colour bitmaps only we can not use images supplied in any other format and a charge will be made for any conversion of image files.

For both types of print, there are no set up costs and we will always send a scan of the first disc of the run for your review before we carry on with the run.  Payment will be required in full on acceptance of this scan.

Short Run Duplication Vs Replication

TechnoVisual specialises in Short Run duplication and digital printing in-house and the processes we use differ significantly from those used by larger replication houses, They Have To! - in order to make dealing with small quantities of discs a viable option.  There are no real economies of scale and therefore we are able to charge the same price per item for 10 discs as we would for 400. TechnoVisual will duplicate and print as few discs as required, once we reach 500 or more units in one order, we will take 10% off the net total price and for 1000 or more units in one order, we will take 20% off the total net price.

We are also happy to supply discs with duplication of content only, or should you prefer we can print onto the surface of the disc only, ready for you to burn the discs with the content of your choice.  Please see the prices listed below. 

We have a fast turnaround time and for short runs including packaging, production time is very rarely anymore than one week from acceptance of our prototype to delivery.  Most low volume jobs including just disc duplication and printing can be completed in 48 hours.

NEW PLASTISIZED ULTRA MATT OR HIGH GLOSS DIGIPACKS

TechnoVisual now has a new method of making our short runs of digipacks - We are very proud of these packs, the high gloss or ultra matt film coating makes them look and feel very elegant and luxurious, great for those customers who prefer a more durable finish, which is also water-resistant and fade-resistant.  They start from £1.40 plus vat per single four panel digipack with a black tray and gloss film coating.

These packs are made in just the same way as our normal digipacks, with excellent quality card, high resolution full colour print and black or clear trays for the CD or DVD.  Without the protective film our standard digipack also has a smooth satiny apprearance and waxy feel due to the high quality card and digital print finish, packs of this type start at just £1.25 plus vat for a four panel pack with a black tray.  Give us a call if you would like to place an order or to see a sample on 0845 0096147 or 01280 815161.

CD & DVD Content & Graphic Design

TechnoVisual are happy to Design any Artwork you may require, for example, you may require us to design your CD or DVD print face and package artwork, you just provide the text, font and colour and any photos or images you want to see on the package.  Or it may be that you would like us to provide a design for a glossy poster, booklet or flyer.  

TechnoVisual also specialises in Video and Audio Production, Animation and Special Effects and Editing for your CD/DVD content and our staff can also provide Re-Mastering, Authoring and Re-Authoring should this be required. All the above services are charged at £30.00 per hour (One hour minimum set up charge). 

We are happy for you to provide your own artwork should you prefer and we will provide you with the templates you will need for the CD/DVD print face and/or packaging.  Once the artwork is received, there is a set up charge for printed packaging including a full prototype, but no set up charge is made for printng on the disc surface.  However, we do require that this artwork is the final proofed version as changes or additions at prototype stage may incur further charges.

A one off set up charge of £30.00 will be made on any project involving artwork, this to provide the templates, to check the artwork and set it up on our machines.  This charge also includes the production of a single full prototype which will be mailed to you for your review. Full payment will be required on acceptance of this prototype.  Please see further details regarding set up below.

Delivery of CDs, DVDs or any other printed material will be made using a reputable 24 hour courier, and charged at cost. If within the UK and not over 10kg the charge is £10.00 plus vat. Packs up to 15kg are charged at £12.50 plus vat and up to 20kg at £15.00 plus vat.  If the package is very small I will use Royal Mail if this is a cheaper option and if you are happy with this.

Please contact us for advice or a detailed quotation on  0845 0096147 or 01280 815161

Templates, Set up of Artwork and Prototyping

TechnoVisual have experienced graphic designers on hand who can help in the design of the artwork for your disc face, packaging or any  printed promotional material and this service is charged at £30.00 per hour plus vat.  Our designers will work with you to get the look and feel you are wanting.  We will keep you updated throughout the design process and send you proofs by email to make sure we are going in the right direction.  All we need from yourself is any ideas you on things like font, colour, background and style and any images or photos you may already have.  Once we have designed the disk print face, package or print material for you, we will follow our normal protoype or proofing service as explained below.  Emailed proofs are always free of charge, but we do insist that you accept our full prototype service for all printed packaging.  Afterall, this way you can be sure of your package and how it will look and feel before committing yourself to the full print run. 

Getting Your Artwork to Us
Should you wish to provide your own artwork, we will be happy to supply any instruction and the templates you will need for your specific disc print, package or printed material.  For printed and or duplicated discs, no set up charge is made and we will always send you a scan of the first disc of the run via email free of charge.   We ask that you follow our simple instruction for artwork which includes these main points:

1) Please supply your artwork at the highest resolution possible - minimum 300dpi

2) Please add 3mm bleed 

3) Please do not take any text or graphics too close to the cut or fold marks - if possible leave at least 3mm margin

4) If you are using design software such as photoshop or paint shop pro for your artwork, please do not forget to take out the layer with our template instruction on before merging the layers.

5) For a colour CD please do not try to cut out the hub or outer circle out of the CD face artwork, it is easier if you leave that to us, just a square image would be fine. 

6) For a thermal black titled print onto the CD face, please use the CD template provided to show the layout you require.  However, the outcome is always better in this case if we input the text directly into the print software.  Therefore we would ask that you supply us with any fonts and other instruction.

If you are supplying your own artwork for the project, we would ask that a final version is provided as future changes and re-works would be subject to a design charge and possible further set up charges. 

If you are sure that your artwork will not need to be edited in any way then the file can be flattened or compressed and sent perhaps as a PDF or JPG, however if you are using software such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, ideally you can send us the full unflattened file, this file may be quite large.  You can use one of three ways to get your artwork to us:

a) By Email - We can accept files up to 8mb in size, however, your email provider may not allow files of this size to be sent.

b) By Post (most ideal option) - If you burn all your artwork onto a CD you can pop it into an envelope and send it in to us for the price of a first class stamp.  It is a good idea to send us your master disc for duplication at the same time (clearly marked please).  See our contact page for the address to send it to.

c) Upload to our Sever  -  We can give you login details to upload your files to our server, just give me a call for this option on 01280 815161 or 018450096147.

THE MASTER CD OR DVD MUST BE SENT TO US IN DISC FORM SO THAT A DIRECT COPY CAN BE MADE USING OUR DUPLICATORS

Set Up and Prototype Service
TechnoVisual do charge a one off set up fee of £30.00 plus vat for jobs including packaging with printed artwork and this charge is for sending you the relevant templates, for checking your artwork to make sure it will work with the packaging and for setting up this artwork on our cutters and printers.   This set up fee  will always include sending by post, one full prototype of your final package for review, before we start production and before asking for any payment.  This charge will not need to be made again if a client returns to us for more copies of the same job.  We find this service invaluable yet very few other companies offer this same re-assurance of quality, it means that our clients are able to see and feel exactly what they are going to get before making any full commitment.

For very simple artwork and packaging, that is, if you are happy to see just the inlay for your DVD case, slimline jewel case or plastic wallet,  we will offer the same prototype service as described above for £10.00 plus vat.  This will consist only of a flat prototype of the inlay, printed on the same machine that will be used for the final print run and on the same card or paper, together with any specific finishing.  This flat prototype will then be mailed to you for your approval.  Once approved an invoice will be sent to you and full payment required before we commence production.

We must stress that this alternative simple flat prototype is not going to be an exact representation of your package or printed item, it is only meant as a guide and we can not take responsibility for any unexpected variation in the final packages.
