48 Hour Print Now Offers Printing for DVD Labels, Inserts, and Covers

Are you producing your own instructional or marketing DVD’s? If so, you’ll be happy to hear that 48 Hour Print is now set up to produce printed DVD labels and covers as well as package inserts.

Marketing is going more and more towards the visual, and online marketing is even tending towards video over time tested sales letters. Can your business benefit from getting on board with that trend? Probably so!

Online printer, 48hourrprint.com, has added all the printed aspects of DVD production to their product list. Quantities start at 100, and for the covers and inserts, digital printing will be used for orders up to 500 pieces. The actual labels that go on the DVD are printed with a high quality digital printer, regardless of the quantity. Booklets, inserts, sleeves, and covers are all printed with 4-color offset printing for the larger orders. This process requires the production of metal plates for use in the printing process, so an extra day is needed.

Recycled paper is standard at 48hourprint, and you have your choice of 60# uncoated or slightly thicker 70# high gloss permanent labels. Quantities of 500 or less will ship the next business day, but larger orders may take up to two days from the time the proof is approved. Keep that last in mind; just because you start the ordering process, this doesn’t mean the timer has started for the final product being sent to you until you finalize your design and give the printer a “go.”

DVD inserts can be glossy or matte and their finished dimensions are 4.75” x 7.25”. The basic insert is a double panel, resulting in four pages on 100# text stock. Inserts make your DVD appear more professional and give you a perfect opportunity to either promote more products or play up the one in hand. You could even print an insert as a self-addressed postcard so people who see your DVD can request more information or give you feedback if they are not online.

If you’d like to include a more substantial printed piece with your DVD, booklets are also available in the same size but contain eight pages and are saddle stitched and. This is a great idea if your product is a video manual of some kind, so you can include quick reminder photos. If your DVD is a compendium of different artists or other collaborators, a booklet insert provides a way to include a short bio on each person involved in the project, as well as an opportunity to thank sponsors (thus encouraging sponsors to participate in your production).

48 Hour Print does not produce actual DVD copies, but if you have a sound or video production shop making your disks, you can get all the printing you need to turn them into professional, complete products there. Online printing services have made printing of all kinds more affordable and accessible. Shipping costs remain reasonable because the printers do such a high volume of shipping that they get discounted rates from the major shipping companies.

If you feel uncertain about the quality of product you will get from a company that you can’t visit, then go to the website at www.48hourprint.com and request samples. They will be happy to send you samples of their work that will be sure to impress you and give you the confidence that your products will look equally professional.
