A physical format remains a safe choice for distributing content. To get a result that meets your expectations, CD replication (industrial pressing) is the reference method. It differs from duplication in its manufacturing process: the disc is created from scratch from a single master (the Glass Master).
Here is what you need to know to succeed with your project, drawing on Hurricane Entertainment's industrial expertise.
High-quality industrial manufacturing
CD replication is not simple burning. It is a polycarbonate pressing process that offers essential technical guarantees for a commercial product:
- Full compatibility: replicated discs are compatible with 100% of CD players on the market, including the most demanding car stereos.
- Greater durability: pressing gives the data better protection against ageing and damage than a burnt disc.
- Professional printing: the artwork is printed directly on the disc (offset or screen printing), for a sharp, long-lasting result.
The benefits of the Hurricane Entertainment offer
On Hurricane Entertainment's CD pressing page, several key options and commitments are available to suit your specific needs:
- Pressing from just 50 copies: while industrial pressing is traditionally reserved for very large runs, here you can launch professional-quality replication from 50 units.
- Sliding-scale pricing: prices decrease with volume, which helps optimise costs on medium and large runs.
- A wide choice of packaging: you can fully customise the presentation of your discs with many case options (standard jewel cases, cardboard sleeves, digipacks, digifiles, etc.) and custom booklets.
- Flexible production: if your deadlines are extremely tight or your volumes even smaller, a complementary duplication service is available for urgent needs.
Entrust your project to an expert
From the technical check of your master (source files) to the final delivery of your discs, every stage is supervised to secure your production.
