MINIDISC DUPLICATION AND REPLICATION
OUR SERVICE
Minidisc was originally launched by Sony in the 1990's and although its mainstream commercial life has since passed, it continues to be a format chosen by record labels, bands & artists to reach more people with their music/audio. Much like the audio cassette tape, the Minidisc is a an excellent format to compliment a music release and create a point of difference and interest for music lovers. Lots of those music lovers still have Minidisc equipment, whether that's a home separate or a portable device. The second-hand market is still buoyant if you're new to the format as a consumer and wanting to buy a Minidisc player - there is still lots out there.

​PRINT
​
We offer print directly onto the front, back and spine of the MiniDisc itself as follows;
On the front of the MiniDisc we print across the entire 'face' of the Mini-Disc including the sliding clip...
To the reverse of the MiniDisc we print to one half of this side (not to the clip side). This space is generally used for a track listing or branding.
And lastly we can print on the lower spine of the MiniDisc. This space would generally have the name of the release.
