Q:Can I get quantities less than 500?
A:Yes, we can make as few as one, and as many as 500 duplicated discs. The
price-per disc is higher, but the simple set up process lends itself to lower
quantities. However, there is a minimum of 500 on replicated products. Repli-
cation requires a more extensive set-up process, but with higher quantities, the
price per disc is lower.

Q:What is the difference between Duplication and Replication?
A:Duplication refers to burned CD-Rs or DVD-Rs, whereas Replication refers to
pressed CDs or DVDs. Replicated CDs/DVDs are what you find in stores such as
Comp USA, Best Buy, or Block Buster Video, and are always recommended for
larger runs. Duplicated CDs are recommended for runs of 500 or less, and are
great if you need a quick short run of discs.
