cd/cdrom/dvd manufacturing

you supply the printing
in this scenario you are essentially completing your entire project by yourself: all we are really doing is the manufacturing and packaging!

we recommend this route be taken by only the brave, or experienced.

"what's so scary about doing my job this way?"
well, whether you are placing an order for 10,000 dvds or 300 VHS cassettes you are going to have to worry about a lot of technical sorts of things that you probably don't know a whole lot about.
that is: since you are going to be supplying us with finished printing (cd booklet inserts and traycards or cd slimline j-cards for audio cds, dvds, and cd-roms - j-cards, u-cards, or o-cards for cassettes - and VHS sleeves (side or bottom loading) for video) you are going to have to first make films, which means that you are going to have to get your design/artwork ready for film, which means you are going to have to get your design/artwork ready period... when you have completed your printing you are then going to have to ship it, here, to us so that we can package your completed product altogether and then ship it back to you.

now, you may work for a very large company which has an in-house graphics department, which may have a lot of experience designing things for your company website... but that doesn't mean that they know anything about CMYK, dot gain, linescreen, paper stock, imagesetters, trapping, silk screening, and moirier patterns... OR you may be a musician who knows a guy that works at a printers down the street and is going to get you a great deal on cd booklets (even though they specialize in catfood boxes)...

whatever your situation may be, we urge you to be careful
there have been many people who have decided for whatever reasons (sometimes simply monetary) to take care of everything themselves... and they have been just fine. they were lucky enough to work with people who were experienced, and competent and managed to get through the entire process in one piece... there were, however, a lot more people who decided to "do it themselves" and lost a lot of time, and money (and in some casese even the quality of their final product) because they went with "the guy down the street" and learned that  you really do get what you paid for.
