Pre-production Checklist

Artwork  
Please review our design specifications before submitting artwork for on-disc print or paper components

CD/DVD ROM Master
You final media (CD or DVD) will function precisely the same as the master you supply to us. We'll give you an exact replica of your master, so please do not assume that we will add or change anything.

Audio CD Master
This can be a CD, DAT or PQ-encoded CD. Ideally this should be Mastered (and contain PQ and ISRC codes see below). Full Mastering and PQ Encoding service is also offered by Trend.

ISRC Codes (Audio CD only)
You need these embedded in your PQ master if you are to receive royalties. Contact www.ppiltd.com to obtain one or if you prefer Trend can arrange it for you 

A Registered Barcode (Retail product only)
You need a registered barcode printed onto your CD or DVD packaging for it to be sold in retail. More importantly you will also need it to be registered in the music, video or game charts. Trend can arrange this for you via your account manager

Packaging
Please check our most popular packaging options here. If you would prefer something different please let us know.  We are specialists in customized packaging.

Delivery and Storage
If required we can arrange storage and delivery for you. Please ask your sales contact for a quote.

Payment
Trend accepts payment when your media is ready for delivery or collection.
