I worked with Justin to make copies of my EP that came out in July. I started with a smaller batch of CDs then ordered a lot more. Justin was great to work with. When I sent him the images for the CDs he gave me advice on colors and brightness of them. This helped a lot since most of my album was darker in color with a lot of black. Turnaround time for both of my CD orders was fast and the quality of them is great! I ordered jewel case CDs with a two-panel insert. All in all I will definitely use them again when needed. Great products and customer service. read more

I've probably used Copycats about a dozen times over the last few years on a myriad of different projects. Turnaround time is always super reasonable, and the customer service has not failed me a single time. I'm not sure there is a more well-respected business in this industry. They are always my #1 recommendation when someone is looking for CD/Vinyl manufacturing. read more

So I made and an album called The Blue Road. I was just having the physical CD's made at this time and I received a nice proof with what I was expecting to be the final color match (or close to it). So when I received my product all the Blue's turned to Purple so now I have and album called The Blue Road which is now purple! So I addressed the issue with Justin at Copycats Media and he said he was "going to talk his boss" about it but they never reached out to me again. Just going to sell this batch and change companies which I feel confident will do a better job than Copycats Media. Beware. read more

I've been going to Copycats for all my media needs since 2007. I have never had a better business relationship with any company in my 15 years in the music industry. These guys are a massive powerhouse that give as much attention to the little guy as they would a superstar like Macklemore (who, yes, is a client with copycats). I have carried a of stack of Copycats business cards in my wallet on every tour I've been on and have never heard a sour or negative complaint from any of the business I have sent their way. It has been a pleasure to watch this company grow from the ground up and I look forward to watch it's continued growth and success. In simpler terms, You're a buster ass hoe if you go anywhere else. read more

I found out about Copycats Media when our producer for our band chose them to press our latest EP. I vividly remember being very excited about 1) the quality of the product and 2) the price point. Being a full time designer, one of my passions is being able to work on album artwork. And lately, it seems like I've had an influx of them coming my way. As a designer/foodie/coffee lover, I'm one of those types of guys that loves finding 'that' place that I can always count on for quality and consistency. I reached out to our contact (that helped with our EP) and was forwarded to another sales guy named Jake S. Fast forward to now, I've worked on approximately 10 albums with Jake and it's been nothing but smooth. He's very professional, yet personable. He answers my emails quickly and provides all of the information I need. The thing I love the most is that he's there to make sure the project goes through without a hitch. And he has done that every single time. This most recent project was a leap of faith for me. I was working on some artwork for a couple friends of mine and Jake noticed that the text was entering into the 'band' area on the disc (this was before we sent it to print). He immediately called me and I quickly returned his call within a few minutes. We talked it over and he assured me it (I asked him to be honest) would still look really good, but wanted to confirm in case. I told him that I trusted him and we should move forward with it. We received the final product last week and I can't describe how wonderful the album turned out. I am happy. The client was thrilled. Trusting Jake was a great decision. I can't stress how incredible it's been working with Jake, and the rest of the team at Copycats. They produce excellent products while somehow still making it affordable. I'll use them for every single project that I'm a part of, and will send all of my friends their way. read more

I've used copycats for an album because I wanted to go local and was pleasantly surprised how much better they were than their competitors. Even called me and talked through issues with the design for my CD's so they they didn't print with text that would be too small to read... Which happened to me at the competitor. So I would highly suggest working with Copycats. Great customer service all around. read more

Impatient, too busy or careless to actually give a Sh*t about your record, CD, whatever. Art Dept. Was totally useless in trying to solve an issue as we were trying to meet a deadline. Thanks NOT guys . . read more

As you can tell from the numbers, this is the first review I've written. But these guys did a great job. I recently created my first album of original music (an avocation of mine) and did a lot of shopping around for a good printer. CopyCats interested me because they had the features I was looking for, a very clear website, and excellent Google reviews. I asked for a quote, and a sales rep named Adam replied quickly with a detailed quote that came in about 25 percent cheaper than DiscMakers for exactly the same thing. I decided to take the leap. Adam also did a good job of keeping in touch with me throughout the process and was clear and helpful about everything. In my day-job I have been in physical and digital book publishing for the past twenty years, so I've become a major print-quality snob. But I have no prior experience as a graphic artist. I fumbled through doing my own design for the album with an older version of InDesign (CS4), and was nervous about whether my artwork would really look good, since that iteration of InDesign gives you a pixellated version on screen, no matter how large you blow it up. I also had some trouble opening the templates with my old software, so Adam hooked me up with the art department and they solved it quickly (and at no charge). They also looked everything over again before printing (again for free) and reassured me the artwork would not in actuality be pixellated, which was true. Adam's quote was accurate with no surprises, and the discs were printed and delivered bang on time, exactly as promised, at a very low unit cost. And the result is stellar--the CDs sound and look fantastic. The eight-page booklet they did for me is particularly gorgeous. Rich color, and very crisp print, even down at six-point type. Same with the printing on the CD itself--clear and tight, with excellent color. The audio on the CD sounds incredible. CopyCats nailed it at every step of the process. read more

For a new band pressing their album for the first time can be intimidating. Not knowing all the steps or how to make it all happen can seem overwhelming at times, i know that's how i felt at the beginning of this journey. That's where Copycats stepped in and totally exceeded my expectations and helped us craft our vision into a reality. Justin Kristal and his team went above and beyond to make sure our experience was an amazing one. From Digital Downloads to CD's and Vinyls they made sure we got everything we needed at the highest quality and turnaround time. Not to mention linking us up with a service who took care of iTunes, Spotify and various other outlets for a minimal charge. Justin always went out of his way to make us feel like our project and The Sound of Ghosts was of the upmost importance even though we were an independent band doing everything from our own pockets. From start to finish their customer service was second to none and they have made a client for life. Look no further... this is the company for you. read more
