If you decide to move the project with Ilex Media, Yes, we can provide brand new free bar-code, so that you can insert it to your artwrok. We assume you like to sell your product in North America, and then we will send you UPC Bar Code. If you like to sell your product in other countries like Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, then we will send you EAN Bar Code .

The standard production time is 7 days after we have received your artwork and master. The standard shipping time is about 2 days for shipment below 100kgs, 5~6 days for shipment over 100kgs.
Our quotation to you is OK to include a proof set process prior mass production.
If you have time to do a proof set process for your project, we will need to add more time for such purpose.
The proof set is producing the content check disc with label printing on top. This disc would be exactly the same as what you will receive of your order.
We will also ink-jet print a soft digital-print for the packing material. This soft digital-print is for your text size, panel location and color reference. This soft digital-print is NOT the machine pressed proof, so NOT the same as final production.
The proof-set process can be completed within 48~72 hours after we have your master & approval for the disc label & packing material.
The shipping time for the proof set and final production is about 2 ~3days.
There is a difference between replication and duplication in our industry.
We are doing replication, not duplication. For replication, we are taking your source master CDR/DVDR to make a stamper through mastering process. With this stamper to go through further injection/sputtering/lacquering for a readable piece of disc. The last process is printing process for disc label. The replicated discs are like the titles you can buy from retailer with the silver background on the data side. For duplication, it is using CDR/DVDR to via burning process piece by piece.
There is no price difference if you do full-color offset printing process or silkscreen printing process. If you have photo image, more colors, we recommend you do full color offset printing process, the resolution is higher. If you like to do silkscreen printing, please supply vector format file, using illustrator to make the file, supply us pantone color for each layer artwork you like us to print. Any questions about Offset print v.s Silkscreen, please contact our sales team, we can give you some example.
We prefer wire-transfer, we will send you the payment instruction with our bank information details when we issue the Profoam Invoice when we commence production. For the amount that's small such us below USD$1000, it is fine to pay by Paypal, just we will need to bill extra fee 5%, since Payapl service fee is about 4% and their exchange rate into our dollar is 3% worse than our bank.
We are very sorry that we can not take credit card payment. Part of the reason that we do not setting up this system is because the majority of our customers are brokers providing CD/DVD replication services. And they are paying the payment to use on a monthly basis with wire-transfer way.
The only way we can take is for Paypal, but their service charge to the selling side is close to 4%.For the amount that's small such us below USD$1000, it is fine to pay by Paypal, just we will need to bill extra fee 5%, since Payapl service fee is about 4% and their exchange rate into our dollar is 3% worse than our bank.
Yes, to have the reverse inside folding spine printed would look nicer for your product. And it is ok to align your inside panel artwork with reverse inside folding spine printed. If you wish the inside spine to be printed, then instead of printing 1sided, we will need to print 2 sided. There is an additional small incremental charge to get the reverse inside folding spin printed.
