Although we class this as one product, there are two distinct categories of IBC: Replicated and Recordable. The other main differences relate to price, shape and storage capacity. Definitions of 'Replicated' and 'Recordable' are as follows:

'Replicated' - These are cards manufactured in Europe. Replication runs start at a minimum of 500 units. Replicated (also known as 'Pressed') cards have the benefit of full colour digital printing. They can be shaped to your needs if you require something a little fancier than a traditional card shape. We also have a DVD version in development, which has a much higher capacity, but a more limited audience. For high volume, high impact presentations, replicated cards are the option for you.

'Recordable' - As indicated by the name, the end user can record (or 'burn') these cards themselves. The cards are best suited for smaller (sub-500) runs. They will function in almost any ordinary computer based CD Writer. These cards can also be pre-printed, should you require it.

'Full Size' - The Full Size CD's are available in both formats described above. We use the term 'Full Size' to describe the regular 12 cm CD's, however we also offer the 8 cm CD's in both replicated and recordable versions, details of which are on the 'Full Size' page.
