Replicating Quality

CD Replication Service

The Compact Disc (CD) has been around for over 25 years and is one of the most widely used methods to distribute software, information, promotional material, music, and media. CDs have a storage capacity of 650 Megabytes and are considered to be one of the most versatile forms of media. Despite the relatively simple way in which CDs are manufactured and replicated, great care needs to be taken by manufacturers to ensure consistent quality and complete customer satisfaction.

Our pressed discs have a polycarbonate layer into which tiny depressions called ‘pits’ or ‘data tracks’ are pressed down by a stamping process during manufacturing. These pits contain the data or information that is unique to that product. After the polycarbonate layer is made, it is covered with a thin layer of aluminum for reflection of the laser in the CD player. This layer is then coated with a protective clear coat to protect the disc from oil, dirt, and other particles. The disc must then pass through rigorous quality control procedures to assure that it meets our exceptional standards. Finally, artwork is printed directly on top of the non-readable side of the disc, and it is prepared for packaging and/or shipment. When you insert the CD into a player, a laser scans the data tracks, and software converts the pattern of the scanned pits into information or music.

DVD Replicating Quality

DVD or Digital Versatile Disc, is the current standard in optical disc storage technology. It can hold video as well as audio and computer data, and has more storage capacity than the CD. Much like the CD revolutionized the music industry, the DVD has done the same for the home video and video rental industry. In fact, DVD became the most successful consumer electronics product of all time in less than three years of its introduction into the market. DVD delivers stunning video resolution and audio performance, and it is preferred in many industries for its revolutionary capacity, speed, quality, and versatility.

The DVD manufacturing process is very similar to that of the CD. There are, however, two main physical differences between the CD disc and the DVD disc. To begin with, the DVD pits or data tracks are smaller than those of the CD’s (0.44 microns versus 0.83 microns in diameter). Secondly, the data tracks of the DVD are closer together than those of the CD (0.74 microns apart for the DVD versus 1.6 microns apart for the CD). Consequently, even though the DVD is virtually the same size as the CD, the data spiral of the DVD is over two times as long as the CD allowing more data to be stored. In addition to this, DVD’s that have higher storage capacity, such as the DVD-9, have two clear polycarbonate layers containing data tracks. These clear, plastic layers are coated with a thin reflective layer covering the pits. Aluminum is used behind the inner layers, but a partially reflective and semitransparent coat is used for the outer layers. This enables the DVD player laser to focus through the outer and onto the inner layers.
Each layer is then coated with adhesive, bonded together, and cured under a UV light.  For single-sided discs, the label is silk-screened onto the non-readable side. Double-sided (DVD10) discs are printed only near the center hole, where no data is stored.

There are numerous DVD formats offering a range of storage capacities.
The three most common types are as follows:
DVD-5: One side, with single layer of recording  (4.7GB)
DVD-9: One side, with dual layers of recording (8.5GB)
DVD-10: Both sides, with a single layer of recording (9.4GB).
