CD & DVD Pressing overview

Pressing is the traditional method used for the bulk replication of CD discs in quantities of 1,000 and upwards.

Pressing is more cost-effective than duplication for copying large "bulk" quantities of CDs because the discs are pressed in an injection moulding process, rather than individually burnt onto blank CD-Rs. Hence the other common term, replication.

You may have heard pressed CDs referred to as 'glass-mastered'. Don't worry - it's the same thing
