Disc2day now offers the Flex-Lite DVD disc which is great for mailing. This replicated DVD disc is 60% lighter than the standard disc which can reduce postage costs as well as it is flexible enough to run through the US Postal Service's automated sorting and bar-coding equipment when inserted into USPS certified paper, cardboard and plastic carriers.

Flex-Lite Thin DVD-5 Disc is the latest technology in the DVD replication industry. The single layer format has the same capacity of a DVD-5, but is half the thickness of a standard DVD. This patent-pending disc format is literally "flexible". This new format is ideal for any disc based direct mail application due to its resilience to breakage, shattering, and cracking. All discs are inspected for defects and measurements are taken from samples to ensure that the high quality standards are maintained. If you have a requirement to insert a DVD disc within a magazine or printed publication, the Flex-Lite DVD disc is perfect, it will bend without breaking allowing the publication to be able to flex without the rigid non-flexibility of the standard DVD disc. The Flex-Lite DVD's are currently only available for DVD replication.

• Save an average of 40% on shipping Flex-Lite DVD's vs. a Standard DVD
• Only 0.6mm thick disc! (Full size disc & 80mm Mini Disc)
• Disc can be bent and "flexed" without damaging
• Perfect for "cover mount" and direct mail

A lot of People ask what is the Difference between CD Duplication and CD Replication?

CD Duplication is the Process where we load your master CD into a tower with a hard drive. Once the content is loaded into the hard drive we then load the tower with blank CD-Rs into the machine and burn the content onto the blank CD-Rs at a 16x burn speed which is the standard burn speed for the best CD duplication results. Depending on how long the master is, that determines how long it will take to burn a copy. After all of the CDs are burned we reload the tower and start over again until we have reached the amount of copies needed for the project. Once that process is finished we offer 3 types of print on the CD; 1 Color thermal print, full color laser labels, or our full color thermal print which is the highest quality on-disc print in the industry. It is water resistant and has a high gloss finish which seals the print onto the CD.

Pros of duplication:

• Much faster turn time because this can all be done in-house. Turn time depends on how many towers and how many CD's per tower your duplication company has.


• You can duplicate whatever quantity you want.


• If there is a change in your project you just need to start duplicating the new CD rather than create a whole new glass stamper.

• It is generally more expensive to go with duplication over replication.


• CD will play in most CD players but there are a few CD drives that have trouble reading a duplicated disc.

CD Replication is a process of which we create a glass master or stamper of your original CD-R and use the glass master to press the information or music onto to the CD. In about a half of a second the content is pressed onto to the disc. This method is called the industry standard or a pressed CD. There is not usually a quality difference however CD replication has a higher yield ratio or playability in more decks then a burned or a duplicated CD. Most plants have a 1,000 CD replication minimum for them to set up a CD line to run your CD's and we recommend the company you use should be ISO certified and Phillips Licensed to insure the best quality in the industry. You may pay a little more for this but it is worth it in the long run to make sure the company you are using will be around for awhile and not be shut down due to non-compliance with Phillips. CD replication also has a longer turn time then CD Duplication Due to the length of creating your master and the higher volume of CD's the plant produces. CD replication projects typically ship in 8- 10 business days where as with Duplication the CD's ship in 3-5 business days.

Pros of replication:

• The CD will play in any CD player.


• CD replication is much cheaper, especially when you get into the larger quantities (1000 +)

• Most CD replication companies start replication at a minimum quantity of 1000 CD's


• If you need to change your CD in the middle of a project you need to create another glass master.


• Usually has a much longer turn time because the CD usually has to be shipped out and the stamper has to be made.
