What are the differences between Duplication and Replication?
Duplicated discs have data “burned” onto them by a laser burning the dye on a prepared surface. Duplication is usually less expensive for orders under 500 discs and turnaround times are much quicker. The replication process starts with the creation of a glass master. This glass master is then used to make a “father” mold and then a “mother” mold which is used as the replication master for an injection/stamping process. Unlike many of our competitors, Alpine Media Duplication does not charge for creating glass masters. Replication is less expensive for large orders and includes full color offset printing.
