The record is finished. Now make it a thing people can hold.
Hamish has done his bit. The mixes are done, the masters are sitting in your inbox, and somewhere between Ingliston and the merch table there is a gap. We fill it. Plastic-free CD duplication, made in Scotland, twenty minutes down the road from the cottage.
You were sent here.
Hamish sends people to us because we do not cut corners on the bit that matters to him, which is the audio. Everything past that is our problem: the artwork, the proofing, the printing, the delivery.
The pricing below is not on our website. These bundles are how we work with studios we trust, and the only way to reach them is a link like this one. If you found your way here, someone put you here on purpose.
Choose the shape of the record.
No add-ons, no surprises
Card sleeve
The one for singles, EPs and anything you want to shift at a gig without thinking too hard about it. Light to post, cheap to carry, and it does not pretend to be anything it is not.
Ecopak
Our default recommendation, and the one we have been making since 2018 when nobody was asking for it. Holds up to two discs, and a booklet slips into the side pocket if you want one.
Digipak
The premium one. If the artwork is the reason someone will pick it up off the table, this is the format that lets it be seen. Booklets up to 32 pages fit the outer pocket.
Jewel case
The one shops and distributors still expect, and the one that survives the post in one piece. If there is any chance of a physical distribution deal, this is the safe answer.
Glassmaster replication is available.
Everything above is duplication, which is the right choice at these quantities. From 300 units, glassmaster replication becomes worth discussing. It is a different process with different economics, and it is not something to pick off a page.
If you want to talk it through, that is a phone call. Ask for Tom. He is the one who knows Hamish, so you will not be starting from scratch.

What is included.
You see it before we make it.
you have said yes
Here is the part most places gloss over. Before anything goes to production, you get digital art proofs to check and approve. Nothing prints until you have said yes.
Your artwork is checked at our end first, then it comes to you. If a file is wrong, we catch it before it becomes a run of CDs you cannot use.
Struggling with files? Send us what you have and we will help. You do not need to build a DDP or even know what one is, we create that image for you. Send your audio as separate WAV files and we handle the rest.
If Hamish has already mastered the record, that is exactly what we want. Send it as it came out of the studio.
The one thing meant to last is the record.
since 2018
No jewel case to crack. No plastic tray to snap. No shrink wrap to peel off and bin on the way out of the venue.
Our packaging has been plastic-free since 2018, before it was a line on everyone's website. The music is the thing that is supposed to stick around. Not the wrapper.
If it is not right, we make it right.
We are particular about our CDs, possibly to a fault. If you are not happy with them we will do whatever it takes to fix it, or you get your money back. That is the whole guarantee. No small print written to wriggle out of it.
Spread the cost with Klarna. A run of CDs is a real outlay, we know. Choose Klarna at the checkout. Press now, pay over time, release when you are ready.

Absolutely first class service. Professionally printed and produced CDs. Tom assisted through the whole process. A true gentleman. I would have no hesitation in recommending CD Unity to anyone at any level in the music industry.
A fantastic job producing CDs for our album. I had a short time frame to get them produced in, and the company managed to get high-quality CDs sent to us in plenty of time before our deadline.
Excellent service from the initial steps to my 200 albums being delivered to the doorstep. Mega happy with the CDs, great price, great quality printing and audio. I couldn't recommend this service enough.

Not sure which format suits the record?
Ask Hamish. He has seen how these come back, and he will tell you straight. Or email Tom, who will do the same.
