During the duplication process your video, music or data files are ‘burned’ onto recordable discs (CD-Rs & DVD-Rs) using a laser recorder whereas during the replication process your video, music, or data files are ‘stamped’ into an injection molded disc.

Duplication is when a blank CD or DVD discs has the content burnt on to it using a CD/DVD recorder. At Diskmax we have many duplicator towers to burn many discs in one go for fast turn around. Duplication is the standard process for quantities less than 1000.

Duplication is used for short runs of under 3-500 CDs, and Replication is a set up used to run large orders over 500. For example, see http://www.diskfaktory.com/ or http://www.discmakers.com/ or http://www.discmasters.

Duplication is a process where lasers “burn” pits into a dye that is manufactured inside the disc. Burning is the process used by the drives in virtually every home or work computer used today. Replication, on the other hand, is an injection molded manufacturing process that makes use of a glass master and stamps the disc image into the extruded polymer.

Duplication and replication are simply two different methods of reproducing a CD or DVD. With Duplication, the CDs/DVDs are reproduced by individually “burning” each CDR or DVDR. Utilizing a laser, information is sequentially written or burned to a CDR/DVDR. Replication is a manufacturing process whereby a mold of the data, called a Glass Master, is made and then “stamped” onto blank media. It’s a much faster process, but isn’t cost effective on runs under 500.
