DVD Pressing Overview
Pressing is the traditional method used for the bulk replication of DVD discs in quantities of 500 and upwards. Pressing is more cost-effective than duplication for copying large quantities because the discs are pressed in an injection moulding process rather than individually burnt onto blank DVD-Rs. You may have heard pressed DVDs referred to as 'glass-mastered'. This is because the discs are moulded from metal stampers created from the glass master - a high-precision photosensitive glass disc laser-etched with the data from your original master.
