CD Replication

CD replication is a great way to make terrific-sounding copies of a CD. The process works by taking an original, making it into a glass master, then pressing the master to create perfect copies. These discs are recognizable by their silver bottom, like store-bought CDs.

CD replication differs from CD duplication, and people sometimes get confused. Duplication involves a process of burning from a master without a glass intermediary, like you would if you were burning one CD at a time on a home computer. Duplicated CDs are recognizable by their greenish bottom, like blank CDs you find at office supply stores. One process isn’t necessarily better than another, and both will last for years, but for shorter runs, CDs are typically duplicated to eliminate the step of making a glass master.

Labeling
Where the processes really differ is in the labeling options. A duplicated CD will only take a printed label that is then affixed to the disc. A replicated CD will take a silkscreened label, burned directly onto the disc. This may be a consideration when it comes to considering the overall look and feel of your CDs.
