Once you have decided on the cases or wallets that you are going to use for your discs, you will need to design the artwork.
In addition to needing disc artwork ( we call it onbody art) you will need art for the card/paper parts that we will be printing for you.
As well as all the templates in our artwork section on the Website , we have a free artwork creation tool that you can download.
The templates are free and available to download as PDF’s or to use in Photoshop and you will be able to upload these directly to us once you have placed your order.
Everything that you send us is checked to make sure that it meets our print requirements( we don’t proof read however so you need to spell check before you send it to us !!!)
If you have any questions about producing your artwork we are happy to chat on the phone ( 01702 530354) or you can email us : support@duplicationcentre.co.uk
Dont worry if your questions seems small …we are happy to help.

I am reposting this item as we are asked about this so often, and this article gives you the information and links you need to be fully informed.
Computers use an online database to display CD information, the most common one is known as Gracenote, a more detailed article on Gracenote can be found here Gracenote CD Database and CD-TEXT.
Tunes and Windows Media Player DO NOT read and CD-Text embedded on the actual CD, at all! This is common for all computer CD player software.
When the CD information is displayed on a computer, the info is coming from an online database. The database is usually Gracenote (the more common) or AllMusic.
The Gracenote database serves CD information to: iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS). The AllMusic database serves CD information to: Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and Real Music Player.
Registration on these databases must be completed by you, the client, rather than us as no extra information is added to the CD for them to work.
You can find further information on how to submit your CD on the below links.

We are having a massive office refit and for this to happen we need to close our production for 1 week.
You can still place orders online or send emails with orders but they will not go into production until the week beginning Monday 11th July.
Our phone lines are still open during this time as well as live chat , so you can still speak to us here: 01702 530354, between 10am and 4pm.
We are reluctant to have this closure but have been waiting for this refit for a long time and it leads us to a better production process, so thats got to be good!
