Booklet Design For Your CD DVD Duplication Project

If you’d like to add printed biographical information or song lyrics to your CD DVD duplication project you will likely need to incorporate a booklet into your budget and designs.

Booklets tend to be more popular than “folders” because we’re much more accustomed to the format of a booklet. Just like a book or magazine, a booklet is folded in half and is stapled in the middle, so they are very compact and easy to browse through.

Designing the booklet for your CD DVD duplication project shares many of the same design rules that apply to every other aspect of your project, but there is one commonly overlooked aspect we want to bring to your attention: Printer Spreads.

Through a whole lifetime of familiarity with books and magazines we know that ‘page 3’ comes after ‘page 2’ and then ‘page 4’ comes after ‘page 3’. This is absolutely correct after a book has been printed, cut, assembled and stitched but you actually have to design it counter-intuitively.

For the purposes of your CD DVD duplication project your ‘booklet’ is a series of 2 panel folders that are stacked together, stapled and then folded to create the book. There is a specific page order required to assure the booklet has the correct page sequence after it has been assembled, and this sequence (or page order) is referred to as Printer Spreads.

The best way for you to see this is to make a Printer Spread mock-up of something simple. Here’s how you can create a Printer Spread mock-up of a 4 panel (8 page) booklet using two pieces of scrap paper:

CD Duplication - What is CD Text?

CD Text causes a lot of confusion. While most CD duplication and CD manufacturing clients have heard about CD Text and want it on their CDs, most do not know exactly what it is or how it works - and this can cause some anxieties.
What is CD Text?

CD Text is a technology exclusive to audio CDs that enables low bit rate information such as the artist name and song name to be stored on the physical media. If CD Text has been added to a CD, applications or devices that can read and display this information will retrieve it and show it to the user.

It's not at all uncommon for clients to play their music CDs on a computer and then panic because the CD Text they were expecting to see wasn't visible. The client's immediate reaction is to think that something is wrong with the CDs themselves, and a flurry of phone calls with the CD duplication company then takes place.

Do all devices and computer applications display CD Text?

No they don't... [ READ MORE ]
