If you thought that the end of the DVD is nigh, you might want to think again. Like anything else in life it’s not straight forward anymore, but little nuggets exist under rocks if you seek them out. The question we are often asked is that “people don’t have DVD players anymore” so how can our customer play them?
DVD PLAYERS
The above is generally true but, older people still have DVD players and use them, a lot, so don’t ignore this market.
CD/DVD DRIVES ON PCs & MACS
Lots of people still have drives on their main systems so don’t forget they can play DVDs.
GAMERS
X Boxes and PS 3s 4s 5s all play DVDs!
Most households have a gamer – young or old – so don’t miss this and remind your customers!
SELLING DIGITALLY
We enable you to sell you DVD video content online. Instead of buying a DVD, your customer buys a file to download and play.
This is not streaming. This is you selling them the digital file for viewing on any player that supports MP4s so PCs/Macs/Tablets/TVs with that functionality etc see www.thedigitalpublishingcenter.com It’s a self service website and relies on you setting everything up, but once you have done it you are away.
BLURAY
BluRay works beautifully on Gamers Xboxes and PS 3/4/5 too so make sure you don’t miss this.
The key is to make your customers aware of the above.

We have lots of customers playing at festivals and taking merchandise with them to sell.
Have a look at our Colour Card Wallets as a brilliant option for this; they are very eco-friendly and good size to transport with you.
Most of all they are a lovely low price for you to be able to sell them on at a good price, and still make a tidy profit.

We are very keen to promote all our card products and are always trying to find ways of recycling wherever we can.
Our industry was traditionally very plastic orientated but over the years we have moved to create our own bespoke card products, having die cut templates made with UK printers in order to produce really high quality packaging for your CDs and DVDs . I think this is key, we haven’t brought in card products that are in any way inferior to the traditional plastic options.
Our card is responsibily sourced and FSC Certified as sustainable….and very high GSM…so the single card wallets, the lancing packs and double card wallets are all 350 gsm…lovely and thick and professional to the touch and print, as well as being very protective for your discs. They are all silk finish.

Chatting to a customer yesterday made me think about how much we are able to recycle and be eco-friendly, even in our industry which has traditionally been very plastic orientated.
We have promoted all our Eco-friendly products for some years and we only use FSC Certified and Sustainable Card and Paper.
In addition to that we recycle all incoming supplies boxes and use them to double box and protect our outgoing orders.
Our general ethos is to try to recycle anything we can …from bubble bags, & boxes to over-run discs / spoiled discs.
All of this makes sense to protect our environment and makes great business sense too .
Let me know if you have any other ideas that we can adopt ,which maybe i havent thought of !

Lots of people ask us what is the best way to send content to us for CD & DVD duplication.
The choice is yours; you lose no quality whichever way you decide to send it to us.
You can either send us a hard copy master in the post or upload your files to us here to create a master for you.
We have to have a physical master for the duplication process to work so if you send files to us we create a cd/dvd master from those.
We can create a master disc from WAv Files,ISO,IMG,NRG. DDP or Bin/Cue
If you choose to send your files to us electronically you receive a link from us by email after you check out and this allows you to upload to us by WeTransfer. If you choose this option on check out is costs either £10 or £25 depending on which files you are sending and whether you need metadata adding.
If you are in any doubt or need any help with your order just call us on 01702 530 354, or come onto live chat and we can clarify things for you.

Fans love to have something tangible to take home after a live music event.
Make some cash and sell your Cd’s after a gig; dont make them too expensive and you’ll sell more.
This is the time to sell!
We have reduced the prices on all our card products which are the most popular at the moment. They are nice and compact and unbreakable, so great for taking to gigs.
You’ll find the prices by using the link below:
