Shut Eye was born serving the music industry. In the first decade and a half of operations, we've focused almost exclusively on meeting the needs of independent artists and labels. Our clients can take advantage of this experience every time we collaborate on a project. We concentrate on ensuring a hassle-free, cost-effective, high-quality experience in CD manufacturing and replication. Shut Eye is as passionate about our work as you are about your music.

Shut Eye provides a comprehensive suite of services to help bands, musicians and labels bring professional music CDs to market – quickly and economically. We pride ourselves on providing individual, personal attention to every project and helping each client achieve their specific goals and objectives.

We also provide a free barcode number and graphic to allow for increased sales and visibility of your release. When Shut Eye packages your CD, you receive a certified UPC barcode that will enable you to register with SoundScan retailers and distributors.

A UPC barcode is how retailers and distributors track sales and inventory. There is a fee involved from the Uniform Code Council to register your barcode and a few forms needed that we will gladly help you navigate through. If you will not be selling your CD through stores at this time, you don’t need to have a barcode. In addition, barcodes can be applied at a later date as a sticker.

Some of our most loyal fans are the customers we have been working with for years; consistently providing them with the kind of service and product quality they deserve. To learn more about the artists we’ve worked with over the years, read our client case studies.


MANUFACTURING TIPS:
1. Do not EVER schedule a CD or DVD release party until you have your products in hand. There are many unforeseen variables that determine when a job will be completed.

2. Digipacks are more expensive than jewel cases, but they cost less to ship. If you are doing a radio promotion campaign or a press campaign, digipacks might save you money in the long run.

3. CD and DVD manufacturing is not an exact science. Please allow financially for +/- 10% total product ordered.

4. If you submit comparibles ("comps") with your artwork, please be sure that they are from the exact same files as your submitted artwork. Changes in your files from the comps may go unnoticed by our art department.
