February VIP Special Offer

There's nothing like getting the month started with a bit of a 'bang' ... so we've brought back a very popular VIP Special Offer for this month:

Order 300 units ... Get 500!

Yes, that is absolutely correct! Place your order for 300 CDs in any of our standard CD Eco-Sleeves or CD Digipak and we'll provide you with not 300... but 500 units! Act now because the order deadline is the end of business day (4:30 pm Pacific Standard Time) on February 10, 2012.

If you can't react quickly enough to take advantage of this offer by the deadline date, you can submit your order forms and payment prior to deadline and we'll hold the offer open for you. You can then submit your order assets when they are ready.

As is typical for our all-inclusive CD packages, when you order 300 units or more your quote includes:

• CD replication (not CD duplication)
• Full colour disc print
• Durable 15pt eco board stock, printed full colour (CMYK 4/0)

CDwest.ca CD Digipak Prize Awarded to Sidney York

CDwest.ca and our parent-company Precision Disc Manufacturing Corp. are pleased to announce the winner of our Prize Giveaway to members of the Alberta Music Industry Association.

We are pleased to present the prize to Sidney York!

It’s certainly fitting that the world was first introduced to the multi-faceted musical charms of Sidney York on Feb. 29, 2008. That’s a special leap year day, and since that public debut at a Edmonton benefit, York’s career has progressed in rapid leaps and bounds.

With a well-received self-titled EP already under her belt, Sidney is now ready to release her full-length self-titled debut album, one destined to grab the Canadian music industry by its collective ear.

Sidney York may be a new name on the scene, but she’s far from a musical novice. You see, she’s the creative alter-ego of Brandi Sidoryk (the choice of name is a clever near-anagram), a highly accomplished musician and teacher in the classical realm. She has a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Toronto and a Master of Music from the University of Melbourne, and remains active as a classical music performer and teacher. She took a principal role in the opera medley “Children Of War” in Melbourne and played the role of The Leader in Kurt Weill’s “Down In The Valley” in Calgary.

The seeds for Sidney York’s creation were sown while Sidoryk was studying in Melbourne. Inspired by that city’s fertile music scene, she began writing her own songs, something she quickly discovered was “a really good expressive outlet for me.” This material drew upon a wide range of musical influences and styles, and her healthy eclecticism is vividly showcased on Sidney York .

Trying to define the Sidney York sound is about as tricky as riding a bucking bronco. ”I do not have a nifty phrase for it,” Brandi admits. “It is just so me, in so many aspects. There are country influences from the music my parents listened to as I was growing up in Saskatchewan and Alberta, there are jazz influences, and many of my vocal techniques come from the classical side. I still teach classical and musical theatre and perform classical music, I sing jazz every now and again with the military, and I’m a French horn player. I don’t fit into a category so I don’t expect my music to.”

To learn more about Sidney and her music please visit her website at http://www.sidneyyork.com/

CD duplication - Summer Special Pricing

With all the economic doom and gloom these days it feels good to offer up some economic good news! Namely, all of our CD duplication in eco-packaging has just been reduced in price.

We're calling it "Summer Special Pricing"... even though it's no quite summer yet!

Our short-run CD duplication in eco-packaging begins at a quantity of just 100 units, while most competitors still have a minimum order requirement of 500 or 1,000 units. Being able to order in such low quantities is good news and makes good economic sense for clients who simply don't need (or cannot afford) larger quantities.

Now, because of such eco-friendly choices, you don't have to commit to buying a quantity of product that you don't need and cannot use. Environmentally-speaking this is a very good thing as it will produce a lot less waste - as the best way to keep un-wanted and unused product from ending up in the land-fill is to only produce as much as people need and can use.

Our "Summer Special Pricing" on short-run CD duplication in eco-packaging products includes all of the following:

1. CS100 CD sleeve - simple pocket sleeve.
2. CS200 CD jacket - a CD jacket that folds in half and features one closed pocket.
3. CS1000 CD digipak - the standard CD digipak that folds in half.
4. CS1020 CD digipak - a two-fold version with the tray being on the center or right panel.

Our package pricing includes CD duplication, full colour inkjet print, colour printed eco-packaging, all set-ups, one round of PDF proofs, barcode and wrap. You can get an instant on-line quote for all of these products from our website.

If you prefer CD replication, please know that we offer CD replication for all of our packaged products (whether they are in CD cases, digipak or eco-sleeves) at a quantity of just 300 units. You can also get an instant on-line quote for all of these product from our website.

March’s CD Digipak special offer was so popular we decided to have another CD Digipak special for April!

Order in April to get a great deal on our CS1020 style Digipak which includes CDs with full colour print, all set-ups, .pdf proofs, wrap and even a free barcode if you need one.

Order as few as 100 units or as many as you like. Our CS1020 Digipaks are eco-friendly, printed 4/0 (CMYK), are available with clear or black disc trays and, yes, the trays are completely recyclable.

For full details and pricing please visit www.CDwest.ca/special.

March Special - CD Digipak

Our special product offer for March is CD Digipak... because so many people have asked for it!!

CDs with full colour print, packaged in our CS1000 style Digipak (printed 4/0 on 15pt boardstock) with all set-up costs, wrap and barcode included. Order as few as 100 units or as many as you need!

For complete details and pricing please visit www.CDwest.ca/special

Our CD Digipak is a low-plastic eco-friendly packaging option, using FSC certified boardstock, vegetable based inks and waterless printing technology, so it's 100% recyclable. Even the plastic Digipak tray is 100% recyclable.

Now... what might April bring??

Short-run eco-friendly CD Sleeves and CD Digipak

We're happy to say that short-run quantities of our eco-friendly CD Sleeves and CD Digipak have officially been approved for release. Starting with as few as 50 units, the quantity breaks then come at 100 and 200 units.

They're eco-friendly because: They are printed using FSC certified stock (15 pt. weight) with 40% post-consumer waste content, and are 100% recyclable.

Of course if you require more than 200 units we also provide professionally replicated CDs in our eco-friendly packaging starting at just 300 units. But what's the difference between short-run CD duplication and larger-run CD replication? There's a good explanation on our website.

Short-run eco-friendly CD packaging

In the last year our eco-friendly CD sleeves, CD jackets and CD digipak orders have out-sold the more traditional plastic CD case orders.

Based on that, we are upgrading our print/packaging department with new equipment that will allow us to provide short-run quantities of all of our eco-friendly products.

The upgrade is taking place right now and, because of the learning-curve with the equipment involved, we'll be rolling out a couple of products at a time. All going well, it shouldn't take very long to have all of our current product line available in short-run quantities, as well as NEW product types being announced.

Exact details will be announced as we progress, but we have already planned to offer these products in quantities as low as 100 units... and perhaps even lower.

Stay tuned to CDwest.ca for more details!
