A well printed CD is an effective communicator because most people relate the quality of the contents of a CD with the quality of how well they are represented. For corporate promotional purposes or the distribution of music or software CDs, it is in most cases best to outsource the CD printing rather than adding this process to your core business functions. This is because it is a once-off affair and thus adding it to your core functions will most likely require you to allocate some extra time, and possibly buy equipment and hire extra staff, thus making it costlier and more difficult than anticipated.


Leaving this process to professionals who print CDs for a living is the best option because you stand to gain from using their higher quality CD printing quality and expertise. These are firms which have invested in the best of digital printing technology and that offer very competitive rates so as to attract and retain customers. In most cases you will find that such firms also include CD duplication or replication and packaging services in their portfolios. Having the whole job done by a single entity more ...
... often than not facilitates great discounts, not forgetting that you will avoid the inconveniences of having parts of the job being done by different entities.


Time is crucial especially in promotional campaigns and launching say music albums into the market. Knowing this, the CD printing companies invest in the best equipment capable of the highest turnovers so that the CDs can be printed in the shortest time possible. This often entails using automated equipment so as to minimize errors that'll compromise quality. Automation results in cost effectiveness because this way lesser labour costs are incurred. This is hardly possible when seeking to have and use your own disc printing equipment where one looks to save money and thus ends up buying equipment of lower quality. With the aforementioned CD printing firms, any errors that result in losses are compensated for at the expense of the service provider but with in-house printing it means that you have to factor in any losses which may occur into your margins.


Having identified the benefits of outsourcing CD printing services, the trickiest part comes in and this has to do with zeroing in on the most appropriate firm to deliver this service. The most suitable company is the one which has the latest digital printing technology that will guarantee high resolution graphics and images and sharp texts. In this we also consider a firm's throughput time capacity for a specific batch sizes.


There are two main printing techniques commonly deployed i.e. full colour printing which brings about photo quality CD top surface prints, and black on silver printing whereby black images and texts are projected on a silver background atop the CD surface.
