CD and DVD Replication | CD Replication | DVD Replication | Blu Ray Replication

In a time when every business penny needs to count, brandedmedia makes every effort for every one of our clients and our potential clients to spend their money using the most minimal financial outlay to give the maximum of ensured quality.

How Can We Do This?

brandedmedia offer a replication service for your CDs and DVDs that is assured to bring about financial savings without losing the quality of the finished product. We can make a production from a minimum of 300 units using your master and replicate your CDs/DVDs rather than duplicate them. If you require less than 300 units then we can use our duplication process.  Whichever process you choose, we guarantee customer satisfaction.

But why would and should you choose replication rather than duplication?  Because replication, as opposed to duplication, is the quickest and most cost-effective option for larger quantities. brandedmedia makes the CD/DVD replication process simple and effective with the same high-quality finish as duplication but saving on the business pennies.

Replicating the Quality and Quantity of Our Service:

Our replication service does not end with CDs and DVDs.  In the technical world we live in there are ever new processes that create better quality results in the production of sight and sound based mediums and brandedmedia keep their finger on this pulse.   With this very much in the forefront of our minds, we now also have the means to produce Blu-Ray runs of your master .

Blu-Ray is fast becoming the leader in the formatting of high-definition of DVDs for playback and recording.  Married with a compatible player, Blu-Ray gives a quality of sound and picture far in front of the other prevalent and common digital formats such as DVDs.  This is because Blu-Ray discs are read and recorded using a blue-violet laser.  This employs a shorter wave length than the usual red laser wave length which is commonly used on the alternative DVDs.  How does this work?  It works because of the ability to focus the laser in an exceedingly more precise way, thereby giving an enhanced picture quality far outreaching the standard picture quality produced on the traditional DVDs and videos.

The magic of Blu-Ray doesn't stop at better quality playback however.  Blu-Ray DVDs also have a storage capacity six times greater than the average DVD.  A regular Blu-Ray disc provides a storage of 25gb and 50gb for a dual-layer disc. More for your money, more for your company.

Blu-Ray is now the dominate force in high-definition playback and produces an earth-shattering difference when used for video multimedia promotions.  This is the name of the game now and brandedmedia are up front in giving this service to their clients. Replicating your master onto Blu-Ray units,  jettisons your company's profile and products into the marketplace of virtual reality!

The Ways and The Means:

How do we go about producing your data into CD, DVD or Blu-Ray format?  Whether it's software, music or a marketing presentation - your data is transferred to a glass master which is used to create a metal stamper. This stamper is then mounted onto the disc moulding machines. The CD/DVD/Blu-Ray replication process works in two stages. Firstly polycarbonate plastic pellets are injection-moulded into the shape of your completed disc. Molten aluminium is then sputtered onto the back surface of the disc creating the reflective layer that makes the disc work when read by the player's laser. Your information is stored on the disc as pits in the polycarbonate surface.

After we have replicated the disc we then silk screen print/litho print directly onto the face of the disc. We can print from one to six colours either using CMYK process or Pantone. Because brandedmedia can take care of your whole project package, we can use our own graphic designers for your artwork, who will work closely with your design department to ensure you get exactly what you want or you can supply the artwork yourself.

brandedmedia fabricate every project to the highest standard and achieve a fast turnaround, all replication is carried out in-house, under strict quality control supervision and all of this is done with a devotion that only brandedmedia can supply.  We take care of your project because you care about your project and brandedmedia do this by employing graphic designers who are specialists in multimedia packaging solutions and an audio engineering team that produces the finest quality from your recordings.

And There's More...

brandedmedia, as a specialist company in bulk media replication and duplication and offer a range of printing processes for bulk CD/DVD/Blu-Ray replication from litho print, which allows designers to achieve the very best print quality in-line with the packaging. Litho printing is best described as photographic quality printing. Screen printing is also widely used and would be advised for pantone printing or text only print. As a leading UK company in this market, brandedmedia take pride in the results they continuously achieve within their dedicated print department.

Every step of the process is carefully monitored to ensure all components are colour matched as closely as possible. From printing onto plastic, card or paper brandedmedia will advise you every step of the way so you get the result you want.

It has been known for customers to send brandedmedia examples of other printed material to match. Because brandedmedia produce everything under one roof, it allows us to be flexible on the printing presses and plan to have the discs coming off the pressing line to meet the printing schedules and deliver to very tight deadlines.  It also means that reduction within the production cycle can be achieved when all parts are manufactured side by side in the same building.

Some customers need a quantity of CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays within 2 days. brandedmedia will duplicate the CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays, print them and have them delivered back to you within 24 hours. This process is different as we do not create a stamper, we duplicate onto unbranded CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays R media and then print directly onto the disc. brandedmedia would always advise its customers to replicate rather duplicate CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays but when the discs are needed for a press release or last minute dash then this is the answer.

The packaging solutions that brandedmedia have produced for CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays have been amazing this year. Spot UV, foil blocking, matt lamination, reverse embossing, all these process's are available and will always add value to your finished DVD. brandedmedia have come up with some of the most creative and high-end packs ever seen in today's DVD entertainment market.

The benefits of this are speed, efficiency, cost and communication.
