What’s the difference between
a “written” CD and a “stamped”
CD?
CD’s can be copied in two ways:
Written (also “burned” or “duplicated”)
or stamped (“replicated”).
DUPLICATION
- Written
CDs
- Produced in-house at Vertigo
- Orders under 1,000 CDs
- 1-3 working days
When Vertigo “writes” or “burns”
a CD, we use an in-house duplicator to transfer
information from your master to blank recordable
CDs. This process produces a final product that
contains the exact information that is on your master.
This process is generally used for small CD runs
of less than 500 that require a rapid turnaround
time of just a few days. |

REPLICATION
- Stamped CDs
- Outsourced to a top-level CD manufacturing plant
- Orders over 1,000 CDs
- 10-15 working days
A “stamped” CD is sent by Vertigo to a plant
and replicated to meet stringent industry standards. This
process generally takes 10 to 15 working days to complete,
but creates a CD that is commercial quality or “retail
ready.” This process includes a protective layer
not found on “written” CD’s. (While
all CD’s should be handled with care, stamped CD’s
can generally withstand prolonged use and occasional dings
or light scratches.)
This process is more economical than writing them in-house
when producing more than 500 CDs at a time.
Which is right for me?
We generally recommend the most cost-effective process
for each customer based on the size of the job. Whichever
process is used, Vertigo will replicate CD’s that
contain the same information as your master.
If you have questions or other factors we should consider,
with your order, just
let us know. Your total satisfaction is our first
priority.
