Cancellation Policy

Due to the nature of our business being the supply of fully customised print products we do not entertain cancellation requests once production of an order has begun. All cancellation requests received prior to the commencement of production will be honored, but may incur a fee based upon any labour costs incurred by us in the preparation of the order for production. This total amount of this fee will be at the discretion if management to decide but can vary between 10% and 25% of the total order cost.

 



Shipping

All orders are shipped on completion via Nightline Couriers and tracking numbers are available on request.

 


Returns

We guarantee your discs will be free from manufacturing defects. If your discs contain a manufacturing defect – either in the printing or the burning – we will reprint your discs. If you feel you have a legitimate return or rework claim, based on manufacturing defects or shipping damage, please contact our representatives at 021-4893315. No reprints or refunds will be given after 30 days of receipt of an order.

Our guarantee does not cover problems with the disc content. Before placing a larger order, we strongly suggest you order a sample disc to ensure the results meet your expectations and your discs behave the way you want them to.

If your order is lost or damaged in transit, contact us at 021-4893315 and we will replace or refund your order as necessary.

If the discs you receive do not play or burn on all players, burners, or drives, this is a compatibility issue — not a manufacturing defect. The CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R media that we use are the most compatible of any brand, but we cannot guarantee our discs will work on your particular device, especially older players and drives. This is true of any pre-manufactured blank disc.

Template Trim, Safety, Bleed & Fold

TrimBleedFold.gif

1) SAFETY:

To ensure that all important components, such as text and images are not in danger of being cut off, make sure that they stay inside the green guidelines.

2) TRIM:

The red lines are the target for cutting. While the manufacturing process is highly precise, you are still dealing with paper being cut by a machine. Therefore, the exact cut line may vary slightly.

3) BLEED:

Your design should extend past the red Trim area all the way to the blue Bleed area. This ensures there will be no white space once your insert is trimmed.

4) FOLD:

The grey dotted Fold line indicates where the insert or tray card will be folded so you can design accordingly. Note: Not all inserts are folded, so this line may not apply to your particular design or package.

 

 

 

 


Mailing in Your Master

Be sure to test your master thoroughly before mailing it. Duplication will result in an exact copy, including any imperfections that may appear on your original master, including audio errors such as disc pops, skips or static and data errors such as disc volume names, file locations, etc. We will do our best to maintain the integrity of your original content and we will copy your master exactly as it is provided to us. Please ensure that the master plays and functions as intended before submission for your order.

We recommend using only high-quality brand CD-Rs, DVD-Rs. Discount branded media can present problems during the duplication process. Problems with the master disc can result in delays and/or a poor quality finished product.

You should label your master disc with the following information:

Your Name/Company Name, E-mail address,
Your phone number,
The disc title

Hint: Sharpie markers and post it notes work well for this.

Please do not mail us materials that violate Copyright Law. You may not duplicate content to which you do not own the rights including CDs you have purchased or tracks you have legally downloaded from online music stores. For more information, see the Intellectual Property Rights section.

Important: If you mail a disc, do NOT send your only copy! We are unable to return any mailed in master discs. Once your project is completed we will store the master disc for six months before destroying and recycling it. Therefore is it crucial that you retain a copy of your master.

Note: Production time begins when we have received your complete order including final artwork and your master. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive all necessary components in time to accommodate your project needs (remember to allow both for production time and shipping time!

Master Duplication Quality

An order will exactly reproduce the master we receive. Please test your master carefully before mailing it to us. If there are flaws in the master, the finished copies will also have the same flaws. For example; if you want your data CD to autorun but fail to place the required file at the root level, the copies will not autorun since your file structure will be reproduced exactly as received.

We do not accept returns due to lower than expected quality if the discs are identical in content to your master or uploaded data/audio. Please see the 'Returns'page for more information.
