5inch
Finally, pre-designed, silk-screened blank CDRs, DVDs and trigger cases as unique as the data put on them.
For you recording artists, use 5inch discs as demos of your most recent audio excursions. Designers, artists and photographers use our discs to showcase their portfolios.
Our discs are also ideal for your MP3s, video and multimedia presentations, photo albums, file transfers and data backup.
Each disc is printed in a limited run. (think of it as... "we did to blank discs what Swatch(R) did to watches"). Once the design is gone, it is gone. New designs are printed and posted on a regular basis. We also carry solid color and even "clear" CDRs, DVDRs trigger cases in a variety of styles and colors, disc hubs, various storage items and t-shirts.
