The Advantage of DVDs and DVD Replication

The Digital Versatile Disc or DVD is the current standard in optical disc storage technology for most industries. DVDs are used for video, audio, and computer data and offer a much higher storage capacity than CDs. A single layer DVD will hold up to 4.7 Gbs of information. Similar to how CD revolutionized the music industry, DVD brought big changes to the home video and video rental market. In only three years from its introduction to the market, the DVD became the most successful consumer electronics product of all time. This is due to the fact that DVD technology delivers stunning video resolution, high end audio performance, high capacity storage, speed, quality, and overall versatility. Much like CDs, DVDs are ideal for mass distribution because of their near-universal compatibility with disc-based electronics.

High Quality Disc Manufacturing

Video Africa maintains the highest level of quality control throughout each step of the Disc Replication or Disc Manufacturing process. Great care is taken to ensure that there is consistency between every disc.

Disc Artwork, Packaging, and Fulfillment

Once the discs have been pressed, layered, and tested, artwork is then silk-screened or offset printed to the top side of the disc, which is the non-readable side of the Disc. Video Africa uses high quality printing techniques making each disc attractive and easily identifiable. Once the artwork has been applied, final preparations are made for packaging and/or shipment and delivery.

Video Africa offers a variety of custom Disc Packaging to enhance your special DVD Replication Project. We offer Retail Ready DVD Case Packages with full color printed covers and booklets, as well as Custom Printed Sleeves, Clam Shells and more.

This is the conventional method for printing on pressed DVDs (movie DVDs you buy are normally printed this way), however it can also be used on pressed CDs.

Silkscreen Print

Screen printing is the original method of printing discs and is best used for larger run bold and solid colour print images. The discs can be printed using CMYK or pantone coded colours. Discs can be colour matched to other products giving you one colour across your whole product range and brand. There are thousands of pantone colours available including metallics and fluorescent.
