Introduction

Welcome to the Next Day Disc Short Run Disc Quoting and Ordering System. Use this systems for short run, fast turn CD & DVD duplication orders.

Shipping

We offer three choices for orders:

• Ground service (delivery two to seven business days in transit)
• 2 Day (delivery two business days after order is shipped)
• Next Day (delivery one business day after order is shipped)

Prices are based on weight, size and your shipping destination. We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO, FPO or international addresses. Ground service can take two to seven days, depending on your location. To determine the expected delivery date of your project, make sure to add together both production time and shipping time .

Important: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are not considered business days. Our shipping and handling prices include packaging and related labor. We currently do not offer the ability to use your own shipping account for FedEx, UPS, or other carriers.

Returns/Problems

Check your order carefully upon receipt. We guarantee your discs will be free of manufacturing defects. If your discs contain a printing or burning manufacturing defect , please contact our customer service department at 1-800-617-3877. If you feel you have a legitimate return or rework claim, based on manufacturing defects, the product will need to be returned to us for inspection. If we deem the defect is from our manufacturing process, we will remanufacture or refund your order (at our sole option) at no charge to you. No reprints or refunds will be given after 15 days of receipt of an order.

Note: CDR / DVDr compatibly with older players - If the discs you ordered do not play or burn on all players, burners, or drives, this is a compatibility issue - not a manufacturing defect. We use top quality, commercial grade CD-R, DVD-R media that we have deemed work well in most, if not all players. But, we cannot guarantee our discs will work on your particular device, especially older players and drives. This is a known fact of any pre-manufactured blank CDr or DVDr.

Using the Quoter

General

Create your quote by clicking on the buttons for the items you want to include in your project. You will also be selecting the turn time of production, (how fast you want us to manufacture it), and the quantity. While you are making your selections, your quote appears on the right side. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight of the package you are creating.

Choosing Options

Discs - First, select the type of disc you want. If you want a blank CD-R, DVD-R, (you want to burn your data onto the discs yourself), select "no content". If you do not want discs, select "None."

Note: If you are making an audio CD or a data CD-ROM, you will be given instructions in the next step on how to upload music or data content. If you are selecting a DVD, you will automatically be required to mail in your master DVD once you have completed the on-line ordering process, because the file is too large to upload at this time.

Next, on the far top right, "Disc Printing," you need to select the type of on-disc face printing you would like: Full-color on a white disc, or Black text only on a silver disc. The black text only option only works well for text. If you are not ordering discs, you can skip this step.

Next, under "Packaging" select the packaging you want. If you do not want packaging, select "None."

Next, select the type of printed insert you want under "Inserts." All prices include full-color insert printing. Note that some insert options are printed one side or two side. If you do not want inserts, select "None."

If you want to select a bar code option, you will need to select the other components that allow you include a bar code. A bar code is generally placed on the standard Jewel case tray card insert. It is also often placed on the back of a printed Jacket, Eco-Wallet, or Digi Package.

If you want your package shrinkwrapped, select this option.

PrePress Review

We don't proof your project, however we will review it quickly for obvious printability issues. You must submit your artwork in our templates and follow our graphics guidelines and specifications (file type, resolution, etc.). We assume you understand resolution and color options chosen, and that your graphic's computer monitor is calibrated.

If an issue or question is found, you will be contacted and given instructions regarding correcting the issue before production begins, and any related graphics fees.

Here's a list of what you need to make sure is correct on your submitted artwork. This will help you avoid costly mistakes when submitting your order.

1. Size: Make sure that the document size is correct according to template specifications
2. Bleed: Make sure your artwork has the correct amount of bleed on all printed elements
3. Resolution: No less than 300dpi. When using a picture or logo with a lower resolution, the quality of the picture is not going to be good. In some cases you will see a definite pixilation (jagged edges)
4. Confirm the Bar Code (when chosen) is located on a viewable and appropriate surface
5. Review color and contrast of fonts used to ensure legibility.
6. Confirm template layers are not flattened in artwork
7. Make sure live text and images are within safety margins

You need to double check the following, for we do not:

• Spelling
• Content - audio, will not listen for pops or glitches or spacing
• Data - will cannot confirm functionality of data content

Turn Time

The projects ordered from this quoter offer three choices of manufacturing production times. 5-Day, 2-Day, and 1 Day. Some package combinations are not available for 1-Day manufacturing production turn time. Certain restrictions apply, depending on the receipt of all components, and if we deem them production ready or not. If you are mailing in a master, we can not start manufacturing until it is received and inspected.

Manufacturing production turn times are quoted in business days. Holidays are not considered business days. Turn times include production and packaging time only. To determine the expected delivery date of your project, please add together both production and shipping times.

The day we receive your materials to produce your order is considered "Day Zero", if all material are received by us by 3:00 pm. If received after 3:00 pm, the following business day will be considered "Day Zero"

Quantity

Our simple quoter offers quantities of 100, 200 or 500 discs. If you need a different amount, please call our customer service department at: 800-617-3877

Pricing

All pricing is subject to change without notice. If we fine an error with our quoting system and the price is different than you were quoted, we will contact you and give you the option of paying the difference, or cancel your order.

Graphics

Doing your own design

Please use our templates and follow our graphics specifications guidelines. It is best to convert your RGB clors to CMYK, for we print from a CMYK file. Save your artwork as a PDF.

Bleed, trim, safety and fold lines

• Bleed: Your design should extend past the solid black trim line to the dotted line. This ensures there will be no white space once your insert is trimmed.
• Trim/Cutlines: The solid black lines show the cutting mark. The exact cut line may vary slightly, this is the nature of cutting stacks of paper.
• Safety Lines: The red safety guidelines are to remind you to keep live text and images away from the cutting edges, to ensure something important does not get cut off during the trimming process.
• Fold Lines: Pay attention to where the printed piece folds (if any) and how your artwork will appear on the fold.

We do the design

If you feel uncomfortable with your own graphic design abilities, please feel free to call our customer service department to discuss us doing your graphics for you. We have designed thousands of CDs and DVDs, and we take pride to making you look the best you can!

Proofing

When you upload or submit your artwork, we will email you a PDF proof prior to beginning manufacturing. Please make sure the email address you use in your account profile is the best and fastest way to contact you. We can not be responsible for delays caused by awaiting your email reply.

Mailing in your graphics

If possible, include a print out of the art for references. Remember to include the art for all components that are to be printed - The disc face, the case cover, back tray, etc, as applicable.
