Shaped CDs to enhance your multimedia experience
Issued by: CD-Shape

Along with the new digital era came amazing inventions and great multimedia advances. One of these inventions was the digital business card. And now to boot you can have it in your choice of shape, brand or style to support your marketing, promotions or branding efforts.

A company called CD-Shape was established in Gauteng by a group of professionals who got tired of the old fashioned approach to marketing and promotions and sought something completely new and unique. A state-of-the art CD production unit was imported specifically for the complexity of the task. Staff members had to be trained by overseas experts to operate the hi-tech process involved.

As opposed to conventional CDs, like the normal round, mini or digicard CDs, shaped CDs are cut in the shape of your company logo, product or just about anything else you have in mind. CD-Shape can fulfill any of your requirements related to the shape of the promotional CDs, as a matter of fact they can cut CDs in almost any two-dimensional shape.

Depending on the actual shape, shaped CDs can store up to 218 MB of data, providing enough space to store even complex multimedia presentations or a variety of promotional information or documents. However, actual storage space directly depends on the selected design. Limitations, if any, are only applicable to multimedia CDs while music CDs, due to their one to one revolving speed requirements can be shaped in just about any contour.

CD-Shape currently has the capacity to produce up to 1000 of well-known digicards per hour or 500 standard shaped CDs. This obviously depends on the complexity of the chosen shapes with the standard production times of about 400 CDs per hour for complex designs. CDs are cut/shaped with the laser precision where the use of complex notching machines and dedicated preparations help that the production is run smoothly.


Some Examples

CD-Shape was formed by experienced multimedia professionals with decades of experience in media, advertising and related industries who were dedicated to bring new, fresh and funky approach to marketing and promotions. And with the use of revolutionary international technology and a highly qualified and skilled technical workforce, CD-Shape is the first South African company that can offer locally shaped CDs in just about any form or contour.
