CDs and DVDs are used extensively for storing and sharing data. Creating an original CD or DVD can be quite an expensive proposition. The best alternatives to creating original CDs or DVDs are CD/DVD replication and CD/DVD duplication. Both CD/DVD replication and CD/DVD duplication is widely popular among individuals as well as with professionals in commercial sectors.
However, there is a major difference in the process between CD/DVD replication and CD/DVD duplication. CD replication is a process whereby new CDs/DVDs are created by embedding information into raw glass discs. CD duplication on the other hand is a process whereby data from a master CD/DVD is copied onto a blank CD/DVD.
There is a slight difference in quality between a replicated CD/DVD and a duplicated CD/DVD. As the CD/DVD replication produces unique new CDs/DVDs, they are of superior quality compared to duplicated CDs/DVDs. CD replication is therefore highly used for commercial and professional purposes.
CD/DVD duplication offers the right quality for general use. Moreover, CD/DVD duplication is ideal for requirements that are below 500 copies. Individuals or non profit organisations seldom have a higher requirement than this.
CD/DVD replication on the other hand is cost effective only when more than 500 copies are required. Such high numbers of CDs/DVDs are generally only required by professionals.
Both CD replication and CD duplication is offered with professional packaging services, so select between CD replication and CD duplication according to your requirements.
