The amount of data, music, video has grown exponentially. To store the music or video, you need to duplicate or burn the data to CD. Due to improvements in technology, the process of duplicating CDs has become simpler and economical.

It is not advisable if you are looking to duplicate thousands of CDs for marketing or distributing music or movies. It can be done if you are burning for home use where you are not worried about quality and the volume is less. However, for public distribution, it is best to get it done through professional CD duplication companies.

Steps in choosing the company

There are many CD duplication companies offering various services in London. However, all are not equal. The standard and quality including cost vary from company to company.

- last but not least, look at the costs and service response.

What other Service to watch?

You should also check what other extra services the company provides along with CD duplication. If they are offering graphic or artwork design, content assistance, packaging and assembling etc, it adds to their advantage.

Look also whether the company is providing any online marketing, shrink-wrapping, distribution services. If the company is willing to submit audio disc to websites like iTunes etc, it will be most desirable. All the services at one place help you save on time and money.
