Yes, we know you are in a hurry to get your product back and/or out the door. But there is a process to what we do, a “method to our madness,” if you will. When you are producing over 5 million discs per month as we are, you have to not only have these processes in place, but stick to them lest you create absolute chaos in the plant. But back to “you”…lol.
If you know you have a project coming up where you are not going to be able to get the disc master to us until the proverbial “last minute,” one thing you can do to DEFINITELY speed up the process is to at least provide us with artwork ASAP! Reason being, ink only dries so fast on paper and Duplium has yet to find the secret to altering the laws of nature, so we are “stuck” when it comes to printed material needs and turntime.
However, more often than not, I have clients who tell me, “Yes, I’ve already got my artwork ready to submit. You mean you can go ahead and get started?!” My response is an immediate “YES!” This GREATLY will help us help YOU in getting your project turned in the time you need. Of course there will still be rush fees associated with your disc manufacturing and replication, but if we don’t have the proper turntime for print, we’re both out in the cold (going back to that “law of nature” idea).
So, again, when you know that you know that you know you are going to be rushed in getting your project done, and that the final edited disc will be delayed for submission to us, GET US THE PRINT ARTWORK ASAP!!! With most standard printed inserts (for CD jewel cases or DVD cases) this means 3-4 days lead time. Custom print for cardboard mailer sleeve, digipaks, etc need a longer lead time, so call me on these.
At the end of the day we want you happy and returning for more business, so I simply offer this suggestion to make your next “rush project” a little (note I did say “little”) less stressful. Help us help you and we BOTH win in the end
