Friendly Fire Burning

Friendly Fire Burning would like to wish you a happy festive season.

We will be closed until the 7th January 2012, and look forward to hearing from you then!

CD Replication offers a dramatically low price per unit on large orders of CDs, so it’s worth thinking of when you start looking at doing more than 500 units.

Friendly Fire Burning can offfer competitive prices, to match the friendly service - email for a quote.

For Example: 1,000 replicated CDs with 4page booklets and back inlay in jewel cases, shrinkwrapped – £685.00 only.

Big orders of 1,000 copies also opens up a lot of packaging options such as printed card wallets, digipacks, etc…

Thermal dye sublimation printing gives the best quality glossy prints, which are scratch proof and waterproof, giving a professional finish even on one off CDs. We thought it couldn’t get better, until we ordered the new silver printable CDs.

You can now have the same high end quality of full-body-full-colour  thermal printing, but with a metallic finish, giving a shine to your design.. The results are blinding. (although admitidly difficult to represent on a webcam photo).

Introductory offer: Silver Thermal CDs/DVDs for the price of white ones..

NOTE: Don’t hesitate to ask for sample prints to see which surface suits your design best.

Friendly Fire Burning can also print inlays, inserts and covers for your CDs.

The standard inserts are 120mm x 120mm double sided full colour (2pages) on 160gsm card and are digitally printed, allowing for small runs at reasonable cost. They fit nicely into a PVC sleeve, allowing your CD to show through the other side.

Email for bespoke sizes…

Here’s some examples:

100 x  2 page insert: £50

100 x 4 page inserts (folded) :  £65

100 x 6 page inserts (3 fold): £85

…..But that’s not all! We can also print full colour A3 posters from £70 for 200 copies!

Beat that….

Friendly Fire Burning is the best call for small runs of quality duplicated discs,  and can also provide industry standard replication for orders over 500 copies.

What’s the difference between Repliaction and Duplication?

Replication is an industrial process, where a glass master disc is produced to press the other discs from. As a result, CD replication has a high setup cost, but a low price per unit, so you need to make a lot of CDs to absorb the cost of the setup.

Duplication is the process of burning CD-Rs and printing straight onto the body. Duplication is a fixed price per disc, and is therefore cheaper for smaller runs, but not economical over a certain amount of copies.

Note that Friendly Fire Burning uses “Replicate Discs” for thermal printing, which produces duplicated CDs that look like they were replicated, meaning that the quality is as industry standard even on small run. The quantity and special packaging requirements will dictate which technique will be to your advantage.

Replication allows more packaging options (such as printed card sleeves and digipacks) and a smaller price per unit, but requires a bigger initial outlay as you will need to make at least 500 copies.
