Frequently Asked Questions

Why Create Custom Artist Merch?

Creating custom artist merch is a great way to share your brand, increase your exposure, and reach a wider audience. Items like custom shirts with original art or tour dates are great ways to personalize merch! With Disc Makers, you can create your own custom artist merch quickly and easily. We offer high-quality printing and graphic design services for custom items.

What Custom Band Merch Items Should You Create?

For musicians, creating custom shirts is an essential part of connecting with the audience and fans. Create custom t-shirts, hoodies, and tote bags, with the graphic design ideas of your choice.

What is the difference between recycled-content and post-consumer recycled content?

A recycled-content product is an item that contains recovered materials that are sorted for usability before ending up in a landfill. They can be classified into two categories: pre-consumer and post-consumer waste.

Pre-consumer materials comes from large manufacturers that dispose excess material like paper or cardboard trimmings. It’s a natural by-product when making consumer goods, and we are using them to their fullest potential.

Post-consumer material is collected after a product completes its life cycle as a consumer item. It’s collected in commercial and residential recycling programs to re-use the material (i.e. paper, cardboard, aluminim, etc.) rather than throwing it into a landfill.

Sustainability

Of all the colors our discs are, GREEN is the most important one.

Is a green disc possible?

We all know that CDs are made of plastic. They can’t be made from anything else but optical grade polycarbonate. However, the plastic content is only a small part of the overall disc package. We believe we can make the biggest environmental contribution by providing our customers with sustainable alternatives.

So is a green disc possible? Absolutely!

We work hard to provide you with high quality, affordable products that reduce our carbon footprint.

Here are some of the steps Disc Makers takes towards affordable eco-friendliness:

  • Designing and promoting green products: We are the only factory to have invested in fully automated Digipak printing, assembly, and packaging, allowing independent artists to afford premium retail packaging. We even rolled out new eco-wallets and other packaging options entirely without plastic — all printed on recycled board.
  • Recycled board: All our board packaging (e.g. Digipaks, jackets, eco-wallets, etc) is printed on stock that contains at least 10% post-consumer recycled content, and comes from mills that procure raw materials from lands that are forested in a sustainable manner, without clear cutting.
  • Vegetable based inks: We have been printing with non-toxic vegetable-based inks for years. In fact, we’ve learned that these biodegradable inks produce some of the richest and most vibrant colors we’ve ever seen.
  • Internal recycling: We have an aggressive internal recycling program for all recyclable waste. We also recycle all office materials throughout our facility.
  • Sourcing recycled and/or reduced plastic components: We are continually looking for plastic products (like CD jewel case trays) that either use less plastic or are made from recycled plastic. So far, we’ve had modest successes — e.g. with our 100% recycled black Digipak trays — and will continue to proactively seek out more alternatives.
  • Lighter disc packaging options to reduce shipping: Many of the carbon emissions generated by industry come from trucking, flying, or shipping. By designing and promoting lighter weight, no-plastic packaging alternatives, we reduce the weight and volume your product takes up when we ship to you. That means lower carbon emissions during transportation, and lower shipping rates.

What is the difference between recycled-content and post-consumer recycled content?

A recycled-content product is an item that contains recovered materials, which are wastes that have been diverted from conventional disposal such as landfills for another use. Recovered materials include both pre-consumer and post-consumer wastes.

Pre-consumer materials are generated by manufacturers and processors, and may consist of scrap, trimmings, and other by-products that were never used in the consumer market.

Post-consumer material is an end product that has completed its life cycle as a consumer item and would otherwise have been disposed of as a solid waste. Post-consumer materials include recyclables collected in commercial and residential recycling programs, such as office paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastics, and metals.
