“The CD is going to be for a school district promo video and for realtors, developers, etc..

Adminstrative Assistant, Education, Jacksonville, FL
“This is for a record my band is making. The front of the sleeve will say 'Injectamine' across the top, 'My Own Planet' across the bottom, and a small syringe in the middle. Sleeve is all black, text is white. The disc itself will be the same. On the back of the sleeve will be the track listing and band members.”

“Ideally, I would prefer a four panel eco-wallet, two color printing, with a spine. One color printing on CD would be good enough. Otherwise, a jewel case with a four panel insert, and a tray card that would provide the spine. Only the front cover would be two color, and the rest black ink only.”

CD & DVD Replication Advice
CD & DVD Replication Basics

CD & DVD replication refers to the cloning (copying) of CDs and DVD. Whether you need copies of video, audio or any other media, the most reliable way to mass-produce these discs is to use a replication service. This ensures the integrity and consistency of all of your copied media for all of your copies.

It is also important to note the main difference between replication and duplication. Replication is generally used on large orders (1,000+ copies) and involves using a glass mold to produce mass copies of the original. Duplication is a more cost-effective solution for smaller orders (less than 1,000 copies). Another minor difference is that replication produces CDs and DVDs that are playable on any standard CD & DVD player, whereas duplication produces CD-R and DVD-R discs, which are compatible with most recent and new players, but may not be playable on older players. Be sure to consult your replication service provider as to what solution is best suited for your particular project.
