MiniDisc duplication and production in slip cases
Custom MiniDisc printing and recording in slip cases for orders of just ten or more
If you are after a short run of professionally produced MiniDiscs to go with your CD, vinyl or cassette tape release then we have just the service for you. We record onto brand new Sony 80 minute blank MiniDiscs (80 minutes is the same play length as a standard CD), so your CD contents can be directly moved across onto matching MiniDiscs.
The old-style MiniDisc album cases are no longer produced, however we do have new frosted and clear MiniDisc slip cases or clear MiniDisc jewel cases (on another page) into which we can insert full colour printed double-sided inserts that include the spine.
Benefits of our MiniDisc duplication include:
- High quality recording on brand new Sony MiniDiscs
- Minimum orders start at just 10 MiniDiscs
- Up to 80 minutes of audio playback, identical to a CD
- Recorded in real time using ATRAC 4.5 compression
- Direct to MiniDisc full colour on-body printing (no labels), with white and spot gloss inks available
- MiniDiscs come in slip cases with full colour on-body printing on the top of the MiniDiscs and a double-sided full colour printed L-card in the case

Some examples of our work:
Blank MiniDiscs used for production
We use brand new Sony 80 minute MDW80T MiniDiscs which were introduced in 2015 and are the only MiniDiscs still in production today, but only released in Japan. The discs themselves are clear at the front and lightly frosted clear on the rear, with a little black text and logo on the front and ‘SONY’ debossed into the metal protective disc cover. We can print entirely over the front of the discs, leaving you with a blank white or black canvas (depending on our base layer colour) onto which your artwork can be printed, as you can see in our gallery above.
You can also use partial or no white base layers to then allow the coloured ink to create transparent coloured MiniDiscs as shown below in the red and blue discs created for Aloe City Records by printing on our standard clear MiniDiscs with the white base layer only over the metal clip area. To create this effect where you don’t need a full white base, please supply an additional copy of the on-body PDF artwork template (to go with the full colour version) with the artwork in just black and white where black indicates where the white print will be added and the white colour indicates no white print.
Artwork template downloads (also suitable for editing in Photoshop)
L-cards for MiniDisc slip cases
Each L-card is printed full colour on both sides with a single panel and spine print on each side. Please use two copies of the below template, one for the outer print to be displayed on the outside of the case and one for the inner print that is only revealed once the MiniDisc is removed.
MiniDisc on-body printing artwork template download
We print on the tops of the MiniDiscs using a full colour on-body print in the standard label area as standard. We can also print using white and spot gloss inks if you wish, these should be supplied as separate files or layers in the Photoshop document using a solid black and clearly state if they should be printed as white or spot gloss. If you would like either a full coverage top print (including the metal sliding cover) or the rear or spine printed then please also complete those print areas in the downloadable Photoshop PDF template below.

Do you need a barcode?

If you will be selling your discs or cassettes through a retail store then you will probably need to register a unique barcode for your release and apply it to the rear outer artwork of your product to make it possible for them to sell via their product barcode scanner.
In Europe we use the EAN 13 barcode system and in North America the UPC system is used. We can register an EAN 13 barcode for you and embed the barcode graphic within your disc or cassette packaging artwork for just £12+VAT. The only information that we will require from you will be the name of the band/artist and the title of the release, then just leave a suitable space in your artwork and we will register the barcode and add it to your artwork for you, all for just £12+VAT.
For further information about barcodes, please read our barcode FAQs.
