Hmmm, I can buy CD-Rs with a printable surface for 15p, and print them in my Epson printer.

I can get a crystal case for 20p or something.

Some high quality paper to print the sleeve, say 5p.

So yeah, it would take me some time, but I could charge £1 a CD and be more than covering my costs.


yeah but it will look home made, and yeah you'd be covering your costs, but by the time you put distribution and record shops in the process your price has significantly rose. it pays to get it done professionally as it looks professionnal.
