Record Foundry · CD Replication vs Duplication
Choose the CD production route around quantity, presentation and the release.
Replicated CDs and duplicated recordable discs are different production methods. SKELVAR's core finished-release pathway is replication, while any alternative small-run route is confirmed only where the selected manufacturing partner supports it.

Format, manufacture, packaging and delivery in one production brief.
Every project is quoted against format, quantity, runtime, colour, packaging, finishing, current production capacity and destination.
Duplication
Duplication uses recordable media and can suit different run sizes, but it is not treated as interchangeable with replication.
- Recordable-disc pathway
- Supplier-dependent availability
- Different production economics
- Quoted only when suitable
Packaging
The disc production method is only one decision; the case, printed panels and booklet often define the finished product.
- Jewel case
- Card wallet
- Digipak
- Booklets and inserts
How SKELVAR qualifies it
We confirm the intended quantity, presentation and schedule before selecting the live production route.
- Quantity
- Packaging
- Release timing
- Delivery destination
Production pathway
Do not choose the disc method in isolation.
The correct route is selected alongside packaging, quantity, artwork and delivery planning so the CD is specified as one finished product.

Make the manufacturing decisions before the files go to production.
These guides explain the choices that most often affect format, artwork, quantity and production planning. Final templates and factory tolerances are issued only after the exact production route is selected.
How Record Foundry works
SKELVAR manages the production path. Specialist manufacturing partners make the physical product.
We do not present Apollo as the owner of a pressing plant. SKELVAR acts as the project and production-management interface: qualifying the release, coordinating the selected manufacturing route, managing specification and proofing, and keeping the physical formats aligned through production and delivery planning.
Production-ready audioFinal masters are supplied by the customer. Vinyl cutting and production-mastering requirements are confirmed per project.
Manufacturing templatesArtwork is prepared against the selected format, packaging and finishing specification before production approval.
Rights controlledThe customer must own or control the rights needed to reproduce the submitted recordings, artwork and other supplied material.
