There are two different manufacturing methods to produce a CD Copying or pressing.
CD pressing refers to a production method based on a glass master which is then used to "press" each CD. This is the most common production method when you want to produce a larger edition +500 CDs. The delivery time is longer for CD pressing than for CD copying, but the unit price is much cheaper.
When we make a CD copy, we use professional CD-r discs, with a white printable surface. The discs are automatically copied in a CD robot, which consists of a number of CD burners similar to those in a home computer. The boards are then printed with a print and varnished to give the print good durability.
The advantage of this production method is that delivery times are shorter than with CD pressing.

A Jewel Case is the classic CD case with a hard plastic shell surrounding the disc. It also includes a transparent plastic window where you can place an insert or printed cover.
A Slim Case is, as the name suggests, slimmer and more space-saving than a Jewel Case. It is usually made of plastic and has a transparent front where you can insert an insert. In the past, slim cases were mainly used for CD singles with only a few tracks. Nowadays, we rarely print slim cases, but if you are interested, we should be able to solve this for you.
