Duplication VS Replication-So what’s the difference anyway?

If you need a smaller number of CDs, duplication is a better alternative. STS is here to help you with all your duplication needs. It is important to remember the difference in production time for a small number of CDs will always favor duplication over replication. For example, if you plan on ordering less than 1000 CDs we recommend duplication.

On the other hand, when you need 1000 CDs or more we suggest replication. Replication is usually unavailable for short runs (less than 500) because of the setup requirements.

CD Duplication=burning to a CD-R

CD Replication=stamping from an actual glass master
