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 and we have an in-house lacquer service, which protects the print and adds to the final look and feel of the print surface.  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 all made in-house in the UK and 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 15 or below 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 as a guide on the template supplied.  This type of thermal print is best used for text only, and if you do require very simple black only 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 15 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.  TechnoVisual will print quantities of 12 and under but we do double the net price of the disc for these very small amounts. 

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.   We can also add a gloss lacquer to the discs if you like which acts to protect and improve the print surface @ 15p plus vat extra per disc.  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 from time of acceptance to completion of the run.

We have stream-lined our processes so that we are able to offer a range of digipack types made in slightly different ways to suit your budget.  This range starts with our 4 printed panel value packs at just £1.00 plus vat per pack and they go all the way up the scale to our de-luxe range, these are made from photo quality card, printed on a very high quality printer and then a film coating is added.  4 panel packs of this type start at £2.40 per pack.  Give us a call if you would like to place an order or to see a sample on 0845 0096147 or 01280 815161.

We have an offer on at the moment with all types of digipack, if purchased with a duplicated and colour printed CD with either a matt or gloss finish, we knock 20% off the price of the disc.  An offer not to be missed!

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. 

Artwork Guidelines and 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 only, 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.  However, if the project involves printed packaging, there will be a set up charge involving the supply of a full prototype for review.   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 flattening the layers.  It is always prefereable to leave the layers intact, if you can.  

5) 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.  However, if you have used something like photoshop for your artwork and you are able to send it to us with all its layers (either a PSD or PDF), this will make it much easier for us to make any small tweaks, if necessary.  Also if you can either save your text layers as shapes or send us the fonts used then we can ensure they stay as vectorised high resolution text.

6) FULL COLOUR PRINTED DISCS - Regarding artwork for the disc print surface if the disc is printed in full colour print, we are happy that you send the artwork as a square image you do not need to cut out the outer circle and we ask that you let us deal with the size of the inner hub.  

7) THERMAL BLACK TITLE DISCS - For the black titled discs, we have to input the text directly into the print software ourselves, therefore the template is purely a guide to show us the text you want, its position on the disc face and size of font.   If you want a unique font it is a good idea to actually send us the font file so that we can use it for your titles.

8) If you are sure that your artwork is the final version and 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 via email.  However if you are using software such as Photoshop, Illustrator or Paint Shop Pro, it would be ideal for you to send us the fully editable, unflattened file, PDF is ideal, then it will be possible for us to make any small tweaks to your artwork if this is necessary.  If we do need to make any alterations, we will require that you send the fonts that you have used, unless they are a standard type. You may end up with a file which is 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 are sending in a master disc anyway) - 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) Use a file share service like Usendit, this method also allows you to send large files easily and quickly at no charge.  Alternatively if you have access to FTP, we can give you details to upload files to our server. just give me a call for this option on 01280 815161 or 018450096147.  Make sure you let us know when you have uploaded anything to our server.   

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 including; plastic wallet inlays, DVD case inlays and the slimline jewel case inlay we do not insist on the full prototype.  However, 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 if you do not take up the prototype alternative for packages with more simple printed inlays as described above, we can not take responsibility for any unexpected variation in the final full packages.
