Hi All,
We need to get a load of blank CD-Rs/DVD-Rs to hold as consumables. However, the brand police would like these to be logo'ed up with *our* company logo rather than Sony/Verbatim etc.
Anybody know a UK based company that can produce these, preferably someone who can do branded cases, inserts etc. as well ?
Printing onto a totally blank disc isn't good enough, they want to have our own design "etched" in etc., I guess mainly as a Marketing thing.
I've STFW but can only find USA based or not-sure-where-based.
Cheers
Ian

Why not use labels, or get one of those cd / dvd printers that will printer directly to the surface of the disc? Sorta depends on the quantity that you want I suppose...

I suggested that, but no. Brand police have to ensure that our logo colours are printed properly and they also want it etched/printed into the surface with fancy effects. Apparantly one of them has seen it done. Marketing types, don't you just love em

How about something like the Yamaha DiscT@2 ?
The blurb . . .
DiscT@2 is an exclusive Yamaha feature that allows text and images to be drawn on the unused portion of a CD-R disc. You can now etch a memo, your signature, photo thumbnails or your company's logo right onto the bottom of the disc.
In a normal recording, the recording application will supply a CD recorder with raw digital data, to which the recorder's hardware adds header and error correction information, and then converts it to what is known as EFM (Eight-to-Fourteen-Modulation) patterns. These are the little bits of data that get written to disc
