Mini 8cm CDs/DVDs for small run orders of 20 items or more
A standard CD is 12cm across, so these discs are exactly two thirds the size of a standard CD. The capacity of the CDs is 180-210MB, which is sufficient for up to 24 minutes of full quality audio, so are perfect for most EPs. For the mini 8cm DVDs the capacity is 1.4GB for video content or whatever else you need to add to them.
Please note that 8cm CDs and DVDs play in standard tray drives (there is an 80mm depression in the middle of the drive for these discs to sit in) and on the spindle-style drives used in laptops where you push the disc onto a central holder, however they will not work in slot-loading drives (like in car stereos) as only full size 12cm discs can be used in those drives.

Do you need a barcode?
If you will be selling your discs through a retail store then you will probably need to register a unique barcode for your release and apply it to the rear outer artwork of your product to make it possible for them to sell via their product barcode scanner.
In Europe we use the EAN 13 barcode system and in North America the UPC system is used. We can register an EAN 13 barcode for you and embed the barcode graphic within your disc packaging artwork. The only information that we will require from you will be the name of the band/artist and the title of the release, then just leave a suitable space in your artwork and we will register the barcode and add it to your artwork for you.

Have you considered NFC tag stickers?
If you would like customers to be able to tap your cassette tape, CD, USB, VHS or just about anything else on their Android or Apple phone to open up a web page, music video, specific Spotify artist page, album or track then just include NFC (Near Field Communication) tag stickers with your order and we can then apply them to your product.
These tags measure 19mm x 12mm in size, use an NTAG213 chip with clear PET and a strong adhesive back. They have a strong field for their size and are very durable.
