We offer CD replication (molded discs) for quantities as low as 250, and have run projects as high as 50,000 units. the process is identical regardless of the size of the order. A glass master is made from your master CDR and CD's are then custom manufactured with your content pressed right into the plastic. The content cannot be written over, and the surface is more resistant to scratching than a duplicated (burned) disc.

The Standard turn time for replicated discs is 10-12 working days (plus shipping) after your artwork, and replication rights paperwork has been approved. However, We can accomodate RUSH projects in most cases. Please contact us to learn more.

A CDR (recordable) is manufactured with a die layer so that you can ’burn’ information (music or data onto the disc. If you need just a few discs or if your content will be changing often, short runs are the way to go. We offer two (2 / deux) in-house options for CDR labelling: thermal print or inkjet.

Thermal printed discs are printed black ink on either a silver or white disc, and work best when only text or simple line art is required. Inkjet labels are printed in full colour right onto the disc surface. Our full colour inkjet labelling process takes full advantage of brightly coloured images to bring an impactful look to your project.

We can usually complete your short run in 3 to 5 working days. If you have a deadline, let us know, and we’ll do our best to ensure you can get on with your other business.

You’ll need to have licensing in place if your using content that is not wholly owned by your organization . click here to learn more about replication rights.

Audio CD capacity:120mm compact disc | 76 min–00 sec | red book standard
80mm compact disc | 20 min – 00 sec | red book standard
business card cd | 4 minutes – 38 sec | red book standard

*the RED BOOK (which contains the standards for CD-audio manufacturing, both discs and players) specifies that the maximum program length should be 76 minutes of music. However, as 80 minute CDr's have become the norm in recent years, they have pushed the pre-recorded discs to same limit. In order to warranty 100% compatibility between a pressed disc and a music CD player, we recommend that the RED BOOK standard of 76 minutes be maintained. We cannot be held responsible for program lengths in excess of 76 minutes, however with a signer waiver we will press 80 minute discs.

Data, audio, PDF, powerpoint, video or software. Almost any combination can be assembled to help you sell your product or service to prospective clients. Or perhaps your disc IS your product. We offer production runs of 250 or more pressed discs’s ( in ISO certified facilities) to ensure quality and compatibility. We also offer in-house "burning" for short run projects so you can get on your way fast.

Digital "Versatile" Disc - more than just video
Delivery of video is now easier than ever with DVD technology. At PMG we offer both pressed DVD's and burned DVDR's. Turn times vary depending on the production method you choose. We can mold (press) DVD's in quantities as low as 250, and have managed projects in excess of 50,000 units. The process is identical regardless of the size of the order. A glass master is made from your master DVDr and then your content is pressed right into the liquid polycarbonate plastic. The content cannot be written over, and the surface is more resistant to scratching than a duplicated (burned) disc.

DVD replication is identical to CD, however the process of creating a master disc is quite different. "Authoring" involves arranging the content on your DVD into chapters or sections so the user can select content from an on-screen menu using their mouse or tv remote. You're not limited to video only. Audio, PDF, powerpoint presentations can all be incorporated onto a DVDrom, even though some of these formats cannot be accessed on a standard DVD player.

Each layer of data on a DVD disc allows up to approximately 133 minutes of full motion MPEG-2 video. This amount of playing time allows for 95% of all movies to be contained on one disc side. DVD supports variable bit data rates, which efficiently increase digital video playback quality. DVD players and drives are capable of seamless switching between the two layers of information on each disc side.

DVD capacity:
DVD-5 | 1 layer on 1 side | 4.7 Gb | DVD book A
DVD-9 | 2 layers on 1 side | 4.27 Gb per layer | DVD book B
DVD-10 | 1 layer on 2 sides | 4/7 Gb per side | DVD book B

DVD-ROM is another application of DVD technology. DVD-ROM can be considered as a super-sized CD-ROM that is used for data storage or application development. Where standard CD-ROM capacity is 650 megabytes, a DVD-5 allows for 4.7 gigabytes or 4,813 megabytes. This means you can put over 7 CDs of information on a DVD-5.

DVD-ROM drives are now standard on all computers purchased today. Most DVD-ROM drives are multi-read capable, meaning that they can read older CDROM discs, audio CDs, and CD-Recordables. DVD-Audio and DVD-Video are specific applications and sub-sets of the larger DVD-ROM Spec. Because of this unique arrangement, a DVD-ROM software developer has access to DVD-Audio and DVD-Video capabilities, allowing for incredible multi-media products to be created. Not only can discs be created for computers, but hybrid discs of DVD-Audio, Video, and software content can be developed for use in all three types of players/drives. Creating a DVD-ROM disc image that does not include DVD-Audio and DVDVideo data requires only Pre-Mastering prior to manufacturing. To include DVDAudio and DVD-Video components with a DVD-ROM application requires encoding and Authoring.
