The CD is, without doubt, today’s standard medium. We meet the highest demands on quality with both CD-ROM and audio CD projects. The packaging and design part of the process deserves particular mention as it can make a simple CD into an extraordinary product concept.

Golden-Disc
The disc stands out from standard CDs thanks to the gold-coloured metallising, lending your product a special elegance. |
Serialization-Disc
A serial-identification can be a useful application in various circumstances, for example, as an element of a copy-protection process or as a means of collating customer-data. The individualisation can be carried out on the data-carrier as well as on the printed materials or packaging. |
Vinyl-Disc
The VinylDisc combines the analogue and digital worlds of sound. It is made from two fused layers; the silver layer contains the digital information (either in CD or DVD format) and the upper layer has a record groove, meaning it can be played on any record-player. |
