THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DISCS AVAILABLE

Here at SPIN we can offer two methods of manufacturing CD or DVDs: Short-run or Production-run

SHORT-RUN DISC (CD or DVD) MANUFACTURING

Short run discs are a great way to get a small amount of CD/DVDs fast. Our usual turnaround time is 2-3 working days. Whether you need 300 CDs in a hurry for promoting your music to to industry professionals or require 50 DVD to pass along to preferred customers, this can be an ideal solution.

Short-run discs are "burnt" CD-Rs/DVD-Rs (we use high quality silver or white discs). There are three options available for the disc label - black or color thermal print directly on the disc face or a full color paper label. The black print is ideal for text or line-art, though it is not suitable for full coverage or fine images. Note that short-run discs are not silkscreened, and are not done in Pantone colors.

Short-run printing is done through a high-quality CMYK laser printer, on the same paper stock used for Production-run packaging. Jewel boxes are shrink-wrapped.

Ideal for 50-200 units, or if time is very short.

PRODUCTION-RUN DISC MANUFACTURING

AUDIO CDs or CD-ROM

Our minimum quantity for production line audio CDs is 500 and 3 color printing on the CD face is standard. We can print up to 5 colors for an additional charge. Typical turnaround time for bulk CDs is 10 working days and fully packaged CDs with printing can ship in 15 working days or less.

DVD

Minimum quantities for production run DVD is 1000. Unlike some companies, at this quantity, there is no additional mastering fees. Turnaround time is 10 business days for bulk DVD and 15 business days for packaged product.
