Can you post your quote?  I'm interested in bulk replication.  I've seen
rates close to $1/disk, including IIRC, silkscreening (one or two
color), in quantities of ~ 1000.

I also ran across some CD replicators for audio work which run a stacker
of up to 50 disks, for ~$1400, possibly similar prices for software.

Plain white windowed paper sleeves are a few bucks per 50 at Office
Despot.

I'll volunteer my Knoppix labels:

    http://linuxmafia.com/~karsten/Knoppix-3.3-generic.ps
    http://linuxmafia.com/~karsten/Knoppix-3.3-generic.glabels

=2E..for Fellowes/Neato 2-up stock.

These have a sort of mini-HOWTO on the label itself.


Peace.
