We recently duplicated a wonderful DVD called Isle of Wight Railways in Colour.
Full of nostalgia and very interesting to watch.
We are so pleased to be able to duplicate small runs for
groups who have specialised interests to share and document on DVD.
Each year the whole country stops to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict over the centuries.
We are always very touched to see how many people use CDS and DVDs to raise money and remember the lost and those who still grieve for them.

For the Fallen
At Duplication Centre we stop to remember them.
Duplication Centre celebrates 15 years of successful business this year.
We are a family run, small business which allows us to work closely with our customers. As the business has grown we have discovered that probably the most important thing in our work, after producing high quality and professional products, is that we listen to and try to help and advise our customers one to one.
Good communication in any aspect of life is so important and we try to always work with our customers to understand and help them acheive what they want with their order.
We find live chat really helpful along with the phone lines that come directly to experienced staff.
We always aim to respond to emails as quickly as we can and will proactively notify customers if we spot a problem with their order.
If you order this month we are adding 5 Extra Free units, just put FREE5 in the special code box when you check out.

The sharpest customers we deal with no longer rely on any one way to make money from their music.
Remember that the fresh way to approach making money is to have a mix of content available for your fans:
These will include digital downloads, merchandising and of course the opportunity to buy CD’s and DVD’s in hard copy….and if you’re doing this you have all bases covered.
Another tip is to make yourself available after gigs to sign your CD’s…providing a memory that people love to keep!

He has an amazing musical ability and an incredible ear for music and plays most instruments he picks up!
Martin owned a recording Studio and it was from this studio that Duplication Centre grew. It was here that he met Mark Smith our Technical Director.
Mark is a graduate in Computing and Design, a qualified sound engineer, well versed in Pro Tools and has an amazing natural ability to understand everything technical!!
Apart from all his other duties at Duplication Centre, Mark has an amazing affinity with the machines and is our Mr Fix it!!

She is a graduate with a Bachelor of Education and former teacher and brings the skills developed in that career to us here.
All of these gifts and talents combine to make a great team.

As we approach Remembrance Day we are proud to have duplicated many DVD’s and CD’s dedicated to the many who lost their lives in the Two World Wars and in other conflicts around the world.
We support Help For Hero’s and salute all those who fought to make the world a better place; and for those who still defend us in the Armed Forces.
Pirate CDs - bad for business!
In today’s society everything is done by internet: Emails whizz from company to client, children do their homework via the web, people illegally download music and video from the internet… This last, the pirating of music and film, is becoming an ever-growing problem in our technological world. But it doesn’t just occur on the internet: Pirated discs can be bought as well! But what effect is this having on our music and film industries and is it such a big problem that we need to worry about its effect on the CD and DVD manufacturing world?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes! We do need to worry about it: The music and film industry is an expensive business to run: With hiring actors and musicians, studio fees, pre- and post-production costs, disc duplication, advertising and distribution of the product there is a lot of money being sunk into making the product in the first place. There is a delicate balance between the money being sunk into films and music and the money being made from these to produce more films and music and if we as the public begin to pirate the products, there will not be enough money going into the cycle to make CD and DVD manufacturing continue.
Of course occasionally you get a film such as Lord of the Rings or Titanic which makes an absolute mint but for the most part films just about make back what was spent on them in the first place, if not even making a loss. The same can be said about music: Michael Jackson and Madonna may be incredibly wealthy but there are literally thousands of bands who every year scrape by. Is it really fair to pirate the work of these people?
Piracy has become a serious offence in many countries now, with the media recording cases of suing up to and over £60,000 pounds – a lot of money in anyone’s books! And yet it is still happening: Loop-holes are being found or people are simply taking the risk so that they can save money in the short term. But the effect this is having on our music and film industries is palpable and soon the cycle of money going in and out could get so broken that both industries will collapse entirely and there will be no more CD or DVD manufacturing!
So what can we do to help? Well, the answer is simple: Don’t use pirated goods! Don’t download illegally off the internet! Whether you use pirated goods or simply buy them, you are still enjoying the same product (nearly always at a higher quality if you buy it, as well!) So why not support the industries so that they can produce more music and film while you’re at it? Get a higher quality product and keep film and music alive by buying legitimately rather than pirating!
