What is the difference between “Cut” discs and “Molded” discs?
For mini and other “shaped” CDs (basically anything other than a full-size disc), there are two different ways to create these shapes. – Disc Molding is by far the superior process. Disc molding refers to the injection molding process used in the CD Replication process (See CD Replication above). – Disc Cutting is basically what it sounds like. The shape is cut down from a full size CD. Problems that accompany the cutting of CDs is that edges can be sharp, and in some extreme cases, small flakes of the CD can come off when the CD is run which contaminates the CD-ROM drive. Overall the finished product is less professional and less durable. We strongly recommend that you go with a molded CD rather than a cut CD.
