Digipak CD Printing
CD digipaks with CD printing and duplication
4 & 6 panel CD Digipaks are the most common style of card packaging to accompany your CD duplication.
However, larger format digipak CD case configurations are available, such as with 8 or 10 panels, with the options of multiple disc holders and CD booklet pockets.
CD digipaks with multiple trays and CD booklet pockets can all be tailored to suit your exact requirements.
For DVD duplication & Blu-ray discs we manufacture the DVD Digipak which uses a larger clear plastic flexitray. These DVD digipaks are the same height as a standard Amaray Style DVD Case, and are available with multiple number of panels and trays.
When combined with our special finishing options such as matt lamination and spot UV CD Digipaks and DVD Digipacks can be tailor-made to achieve a really eye-catching solution.

Feel free to view the full range of DVD packaging options here.What is cd duplication vs replicationAlthough the two words essentially have the same meaning, in the optical disc industry, there is a big distinction in the terms, and how they refer to the manufacture process of the final discs.
Duplication: Manufacture of discs using blank CD-R, DVD-R, Blu-ray-R (BD-R).
Replication: Manufacture of the discs from stamper and glass-master, pressed from polycarbonate granules.
For duplication we use blank media such as mentioned above and copy the data or audio onto the disc. The discs are then printed. In the CD replication or DVD replication process we make a glass-master and stamper of your content, this is like a master copy. From this stamper, the discs are ‘pressed’, similar to an injection moulding process, where the disc starts off in it’s raw form as poly carbonate granules.
Advantages: Duplication is cost effective on 1-400 copies, or when a fast turnaround is required. Replication is cheaper to manufacture once the quantity is 500 or more, and the final discs are considered professionally manufactured discs.
There is no difference in the sound quality of audio CD, or any difference in the quality of the data copied on the discs between duplicated and replicated discs.CD Packaging, DVD PackagingDisc Wizards provide a wide range of cases and packaging for your CDs and DVDs. For CDs, we can offer jewel cases, digipacks or flexipacks in a combination of sizes, to include 4 panel, 6 panel, 8 and 10 panel. Cardboard cases are also available without plastic trays this includes CD sleeves, and gatefold wallets in multi panel formats from 4 to 10 sides.
For DVD packaging, we offer the de facto DVD cases in black or clear plastic cases with a colour printed inlay and disc. Other cases for DVD can in clued DVD sleeves, into printed card wallets with multiple panels, and into DVD digipacks or flexi trays. We can additionally supply the discs on spindle, without any cases, or into simple PVC plastic wallets. Or clam shells.CD duplication is the process used when a CD manufacturing service is required for 1 to 500 discs.This includes audio CDs and CD-ROMs that contain data. This data can include all file formats from PowerPoint presentations, PDF documents, spreadsheets, interactive CD-ROMs, and software releases. Another use for CDs is to present video. This format is known as Video CD, or VCD. Although not so popular in Europe, this version of video was widely popular all over Asia, before the mass advent of DVD.
CD duplicationThe process of CD duplication is as follows. The data is loaded into hard-drives from a master CD. This can be any of the above formats, Audio CD, data CD or Video CD. From the hard-drive the data is transferred to the CD replication towers. These towers contain columns of CD burners, which are similar to the burners found on your computer. These CD burners duplicate the CD at a high speed and a high level of accuracy. The hardware on the CD burning towers ensures a high level of quality control. If in the CD duplication process any one CD is not corrected duplicated, then the hardware automatically detects this and it will flag that particular duplicated CD as not good to use, and this is CD is then discarded.
CD PrintingOnce the CD duplication is complete in the duplicating towers, the discs are ready for CD printing.
The printing process in duplication can be any of, ink-jet printing, thermal printing and silkscreen printing. The process used depends on the design that is to be printed and the quantities.
