CD Suppliers: The Ultimate Guide
When we put out our Vinyl Guide, we asked our community what other merch they were eager to explore, one item stood out at the top of the list: CDs.
CDs are affordable and accessible, making them an ideal choice for indie artists on a budget.
We contacted more than 100 suppliers, and kept it simple: "100 CDs, in a single pocket printed jacket".
This minimalist yet effective package can be a game-changer for independent musicians looking to share their music in a tangible format, because you don’t have to break the bank to make memorable merch.
Download our spreadsheet for easy comparisons, filter by country or minimum quantity, and make the best choice.
Note that some suppliers may vary slightly or have a shorter/bigger run. However, the final price per unit is also available. Shipping is not included in the quotes.
All quotes are dated September 1st, 2023. Prices are subjected to change. VAT/taxes and/or shipping are not included.
