  • DVDs- Replication vs. Duplication – Pros/Cons & Companies

    Posted by Al Bergstein on December 16, 2013 at 5:15 pm

    Hi folks, We need a small run of 500 DVDs of a project I just completed. There is an old thread here on Dup vs Rep companies but I thought I would re-ask. First off, I assume I want replication not duplication? And if so, why? Any good company recommendations from folks who have done this recently? We have a few possible companies, but always like to use references if possible.

    I can HIGHLY recommend Matt Townley of MST Productions – Matt@MSTProductions.com

    Very honest, straightforward and knowledgeable.

    He is also a regular contributor to various COW forums.

    Hello Al,

    I’d be happy to help. Our company provides duplication and replication services. The primary difference between duplication and replication is price and turnaround. Replication at this quantity is a little less expensive, but turnaround is typically about 2 weeks. Duplication is more expensive, but the turnaround for 500 can be as short as a few days. Also, with duplication, we can provide better quality print on the surface, if that’s important for your project. (Duplication print can be photorealistic – think about the covers of National Geographic magazine and that’s about the same quality of print we can deliver with duplication.)

    There are some other differences I can share with you if you need more info. Let me know if you need anything else.
