CD MANUFACTURING SERVICE



JavaMusic is dedicated to the continual development and promotion of the Independent Music Industry and as such, is proud to announce its newest service, CD Manufacturing at EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE prices for small runs.



For a mere $999, JavaMusic’s Standard CD package includes 1000 CDs with 4/1 4 panel inserts, 4/1-tray cards, 2-color print on the CD, clear trays and assembled and polywrapped jewel cases. This puts the price per piece at $0.99.



When the order increases to 2000 units, the price per piece drops to $0.95. Orders over 2000 units are handled on a case-by-case basis.



DISTRIBUTION IN ASIA



JavaMusic understands that one of the challenges faced by independent labels is distribution. In the past, tapping an unsaturated music market like Asia has been out of reach for the independent labels. Independent labels just could not justify the capital outlay or did not have the network of knowledgeable connections to handle sales and distribution outside of their geographic region.



With the advancement in technology, infrastructure and disposable income, Asians are now savvier and more demanding about the kinds of music they listen to. Unlike the United States, the Asian music market is not yet saturated and there is a growing hunger to discover music “off the beaten track.” Now is the opportunity to capture a market hungry for fresh new music.



JavaMusic has a distribution center in Malaysia, where all CDs for distribution are initially housed. Depending on demand per country, JavaMusic then moves the CDs to the specific country, effectively reaching the target audience while minimizing inventory costs for the label. Through JavaMusic, Indie Labels now have the tools to reach countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, China, and Japan.



CREATING DEMAND FOR NEW MUSIC



JavaMusic supports the distribution of new music by helping to create a demand via its network of Asian publications. These publications are nationwide print and electronic entities that run reviews of artists and albums on a regular basis per contract with JavaMusic.
