Difference between replication and duplication

Many people don’t understand the concept of duplication and replication and what is really the difference. Here’s the meaning of both services and the difference between duplication and replication from 3XL Productions.


Duplication is the standard in which smaller quantities of CDs or DVDs are usually manufactured within 3XL productions. CD-R and DVD-R media is loaded into burners. Your information is digitally extracted from your master source (usually a master CD-R or DVD-R) and transferred to the blank discs after being verified. Whether your order is large or small, duplication offers the same final product. The disc proof is an exact sample of what the final product will be, since the same process is used no matter how small the quantity.


Until just recently, almost all disc productions were done by replication. Replication is still the standard use to make quantities of CDs and DVDs. A “glass master” of your information is made which in turn is used to create “stampers”. These “stampers” are used for injection, molding the information onto foil. The mastered information is then protected by layers of poly carbonate plastic.


The Difference:

The main difference lies in the manufacturing processes and the length of time needed for production. There is no data difference between a duplicated disc and a replicated disc. It is simply the procedure to put that information there is which makes the process dramatically different.
