Services, design and proofs- 3 items
Add-on services for disc and packaging production - master preparation, graphic design and a proof print before the run.
Three services you add to a production run
This subgroup does not contain products you order on their own. These are add-on services for an existing order of discs, digipacks, envelopes or cases. You add them to the same order when something is missing on your side, or when you want to see the result before the full run starts. Each one answers a different question, so you can order them separately or together.
Master preparation for replication and copying
This is about the disc content, not the artwork. You have the files but no finished disc image, or you want a properly ordered track list and CD-Text on the disc. A disc image is a single file that reproduces the entire content of the carrier - its layout, track order and the way it is written. That is not the same as a folder with files placed side by side. Before production you receive a reference disc for approval. The service is added to an order for CD replication or copying.
Graphic design service
This is about the artwork. You have the text, photos and logo but no production-ready file for a specific carrier. You choose the carrier when ordering and we match the correct grid and format to it. We design artwork for 4P and 6P digipacks (including the low two-panel version), the tall single-panel A5 digipack, 4P and 6P ecopacks and the tall A5 ecopack, cardboard envelopes, the CD disc print and covers for CD-BOX, DVD and SLIM cases. For a non-standard release outside this list we prepare an individual quote. The production itself is ordered separately, for example in the digipack category.
Proof prints
This is about checking before the run. A design on screen and a design on paper are two different things: a monitor emits its own light, paper reflects it, and ink soaks into the substrate. We print the proof on the production paper, the same stock your order will be produced on - the same colour looks different on a different paper. You can receive a flat sheet or a finished, folded product to check in your hand. A proof print is ordered only as an add-on to an order that has already been placed.
