Bristol's independent spirit deserves bold packaging.

When the sleeve is part of the release
For illustration-led or experimental projects, printed cardboard sleeves and four-panel digipaks provide broad surfaces for visual work. Match the disc print to the outer panels, use the correct bleed template and consider how the packaging will look when displayed.

GLOUCESTER ROAD · INDEPENDENT SHOPS
An edition worth browsing
Independent releases can benefit from packaging that stands up visually beside records and other physical merchandise. A clear-tray jewel case supports booklet artwork; a fold-out board package creates a tactile, display-ready item for listeners.

BEDMINSTER · CREATIVE PROJECTS
Small, deliberate runs
Art exhibitions, production teams and small collaborative projects may only need a tightly defined number of discs. A short run reduces waste and lets you select a more distinctive finish without taking on a bulk-manufacturing minimum.
Explore this option ↗DiskCrafters is based in Greater Manchester and delivers finished orders to Bristol. This is a delivery-area guide, not a claim of a local branch.

THE DETAILS.
THE DETAILS.
Designed for DIY releases and limited editions
Short runs make room for experimentation. Produce a first edition with one cover, make a separate version for a performance, or test whether listeners prefer a card sleeve, digisleeve or jewel case before placing a repeat order. The physical product can develop alongside the audience.
Bristol musicians, electronic producers, visual artists, filmmakers, podcast creators, galleries, design studios and independent retailers can use the service for releases, portfolios and campaigns.
Make artwork part of the object
Digisleeves and digipaks offer broad printed panels for artwork-led releases. Card sleeves keep postage and merchandise handling simple. DigiFloat adds a pop-up disc presentation without a conventional plastic tray, while vinyl-style and specialist disc finishes can reinforce a retro or tactile concept.
- Disc printing: full-colour glossy or matte, selected thermal and specialist finishes.
- Audio preparation: standard audio CD duplication with CD-Text options and a basic supplied-file check.
- Printed packaging: sleeves, inlays, traycards, booklets and board packages produced for the selected format.
- Flexible quantity: start from one copy on eligible products and increase the run only when the project needs it.
Production controlled by DiskCrafters
DiskCrafters handles duplication, direct-to-disc printing, paper printing, cutting, creasing and assembly through its own production workflow. This gives the team oversight of the complete package and makes it easier to answer questions about unusual combinations, booklet requirements and presentation finishes.
We do not claim to operate a branch in Bristol. The order is made in Greater Manchester and delivered to the address supplied at checkout. This honest service-area approach gives Bristol customers access to our full product range without misrepresenting where manufacturing occurs.
How your order moves from files to finished CDs
- Choose the quantity and format. Configure the product online and check the displayed total.
- Download the correct artwork template. Prepare the disc face, packaging and booklet files for the exact product selected.
- Supply final audio or data. Upload the finished master and accurate track information where CD-Text is required.
- Production and delivery. After the files are accepted, the order is manufactured and dispatched to Bristol.
For exhibitions, screenings and launch nights, send final files early enough for checking. If the date cannot move, request a confirmed rush slot before checkout.
Why short-run duplication works
Duplication records the supplied project onto professional CD-R media and is well suited to one-off copies, independent releases and repeatable small batches. Replication manufactures pressed discs from a glass master and is normally associated with higher factory quantities. For many Bristol projects, duplication provides the more flexible route because there is no need to predict long-term demand at the start.
Artists selling direct can also ask about on-demand CD fulfilment, where individual customer orders are manufactured, packed and dispatched without the artist storing a prepaid bulk run.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Diskcrafters are quite literally the best in the entire industry. Being on demand, affordable, based in the UK, all with insane customisation like the option for metadata, genuine Digipaks, Vinyl-style CDs, and Clear jewel cases, it’s easy to see why I rate them so highly. All of these seem like basic necessities for a normal CD, and yet the market nowadays seemed so deprived of it until Diskcrafters came along.

Would Recommend, Seriously

I've used other services that offer similar CD duplication. This is the best out of all for the money. There is no question. I've had amazing customer service, helping me through adding bits and making sure everything works on my product. Really good prices, and no minimum order number so you know if it's good enough before you order more. Surprisingly fast delivery. I waited a total of a week from ordering to recieving the sample. This is a great service.
