Glass Mastered CD

If you require more than 500 discs from one master, it may be cost effective to get your CD glass-mastered.

Manufacturing the master disc is an expensive and time-consuming process, making it prohibitively expensive for short runs. However, once you have a glass-master, the individual discs are significantly cheaper than CD-R to produce.

These sample prices are for full colour print and packaging, and are the total maximum price, including barcoding, VAT and delivery, based on a standard two week turnaround.

If you require simpler onbody printing or paper parts, or if you don't require a barcode, contact us with your requirements and we'll get back to you with an exact quote.

We can also offer speciality packaging such as Digipak (TM) and pre-printed card wallets.

If you're working to a tight deadline, glass-mastering may not be suitable - it usually takes two weeks from receipt of artwork and master, although quicker turnarounds are available at an extra cost.

If you're in a hurry, or if you require a run of <1000 discs, CD-R duplication may be more suitable: click here for further information and prices.
