Graphic Design & Manufacturing Packages

Graphic Layout and File Preparation: $575
We can also assist you in the packaging of your product. For an example of our recent graphic design and layout, please see the cover, booklet and traycard of Jason & deMarco's album "Spirit Pop".

The $575 fee covers graphic layout for a 4 panel project, including the cd cover and inside cover (full color) and two inside panels (black and white).

This also includes the tray card (back of cd picture), cd imprint and file preparation for print. For each additional panel requested, a $75 charge per panel will be charged. We will be the liason between you, the artist, and the manufacturing company and work with your photos and graphics, drop them into the printing templates and send them off to the manufacturing company we use called the DubHouse. We've worked with several companies over the past few years and this company has the best prices for the quality of their work and they offer the best customer service that we've ever experienced. (see below)

Our clients will need to provide the text portion of their album artwork in a file format that can be emailed or sent to us snail mail. As we work on the graphic layout, we will send samples via email or snail mail for our clients approval. Once we've completed the graphics and send them off to manufacturing, they will send us printed proofs that our clients will need to sign off on, before the cds get pressed and graphics printed. Our client will be required and able to sign-off on printed proofs before your cds get pressed.

Other fees associated with graphic design might include:
$50 for bar code
$75 per panel or extra page

Manufacturing:
We are extremely experienced in working with manufacturing companies to get the best finished product at excellent prices. Although not limited to, "The DubHouse" is our preferred vendor and they have manufacturing warehouses around the country (www.thedubhouse.net).

The DubHouse has the capabilities to offer both duplication and replication services for any type of CD. In short, duplication is the process of burning data into a blank disc (CD-R) via a laser. Duplication of CD orders are typically at least 500 units. They currently "duplicate" CDs out of our South Florida plant. We can imprint one color (black or blue) direct to the CD via a thermal process, or we can print a high-resolution 4-color label.

We offer our CD duplication services direct from the below plant locations to guarantee you a fast turn around time.

CD duplication locations
Ft. Lauderdale / Miami - Florida
Charlotte - North Carolina
Los Angeles - California
New York - New York
Minneapolis - Minnesota
Asia

*In addition, The DubHouse can provide audio CD replication prices in the event that your order is over 500 units. This is the highest quality of cd manufacturing and graphic printing (otherwise known as offset printing) and is comparable to the quality that the major record labels use for their artists. This is always Jason & deMarco's preference. Prices include the following:
