CD SHAPE

The plate with an unusual shape, is an excellent and versatile tool for creating the image of the company, or an instrument to support a specific sales campaign. We have pressed, among others, discs in the shape of a Christmas tree, a can, a car, a carton of juice….

Note that any disc with an unusual shape should take into account its balance. This is to ensure proper playback in the computer drive.

PERSONALIZED PLATES

Personalized plates with, for example, a name can be used in direct marketing for mailings, among other things.

Personalized plates have an additional scratch option, they are used, for example, for packages with :

  • individual borderland codes,
  • Individual identification numbers while maintaining confidentiality.

Scratch marks can be available on any media, directly on the printing of the plate under the wearable protective layer.

STYLIZED PANELS

  • black,
  • gold,
  • retro (vinyl styling).

Copy protection

We offer comprehensive security services against illegal copying

Protection of intellectual property and safeguards against illegal copying of discs is one of the most important issues facing software and computer game manufacturers, record companies, movie studios and DVD distributors today.

Discs replicated in the pressing process are protected at the authoring and mastering stages.

The main task of the protection used is to prevent illegal copying.
