Dischromatics at 'Nollywood Evolution'

Dischromatics was recently invited to address the "Nollywood Evolution" conference held at Passion TV in South London, and hosted by the UK Chapter of the Association of Movie Producers Nigeria (AMP UK). The event, entitled "The Way Forward, Doing It the Right Way", was held to push forward the development of the world’s third largest film industry, recently dubbed ‘Nollywood’, and was attended by many influential figures from the Nigerian film industry including Mr Olu Ajanoku of the Nigerian Film & Video Classification Board, and Dr. Diran of the Nigerian High Commission.

Pictured above is the "High Table" from Saturday's conference, with Dischromatics Chairman, Stewart Spencer seated far right next to Mr. Ajanoku.

Invited to the conference by Mr. Chucks Mordi (pictured above), Chairman of AMP UK and CEO of Livingstone Pictures (for whom Dischromatics produced the DVD release "Bleeding Rose" in 2007), the Abercarn-based company was represented by its Chairman, Stewart Spencer; its Sales Director, Gareth Spencer and its Sales Manager Alex Spencer. Stewart introduced Dischromatics to the audience, giving a little of the firms history and explaining the business ethos before passing the microphone to Gareth who addressed the cost and quality benefits of DVD over VCD, a pertinent question in the Nigerian market where nearly all titles are currently released on VCD-only, and anti-piracy solutions available including ARccOS copy-protection, Watermarking, Pit-Logos and various distinctive packaging options.

Dischromatics presence at the event was very well received and a further meeting with key AMP members including Mr. Mordi, Mr. Ajanoku and Dr. Diran is due to be arranged over the next couple of weeks at Dischromatics head office, where future working relationships between the Welsh company and the Nollywood film industry will be on the agenda. The burgeoning film market in Nigeria holds a great deal of promise, and with their high rate of film output and a commitment to quality and consistency in all aspects of production, Dischromatics is in an ideal position to fulfil the Nollywood film industry's requirements as its influence on the world stage increases.

Special Packaging for Duplication

Following on from last months updates, Dischromatics has added yet more products to its in-house duplication range.

We are now able to supply both clear and coloured C-Shell cases on all orders. All the usual colours are available as well as some that are more extraordinary! We offer transparent cherry red, red, yellow, green, violet, blue & green, as well as solid red, black, white & orange, but check with the sales team prior to order placement for current availabilty on the colour you desire. Alternatively, Ejector cases can be included with all jobs, with a choice of colours for the ‘Trigger’ and mechanism available:- clear, blue, black, red, violet & orange, as well as with binder clips for presentation purposes.

However, if your run calls for something a bit special, we also offer a couple of other options to really help your product stand out from the crowd. The Woodcraft pack is a CD-sized disc packaging solution made from high quality wood; it is held in place by a metal clip and the tray is cut to fit a disc. This product oozes class, and would be ideal for use with an environmentally friendly product. On the other hand, the CD-Tin Smartbox is produced using metal, and designed to house one disc sitting in its cradle. The product is rounded to perfectly fit the shape of a disc, and, like the Woodcraft packs, can be printed onto using customer artwork.

On the duplicated media side we can now supply thermally printed discs made from coloured polycarbonate on orders of 50 discs and upwards. Colours available include green, purple and orange and can be supplied in just a few days, copied and packed to your specification.

Also made recently available for inclusion in your job are disc-fastening gel studs, coloured PP mail cases & multi disc DVD cases (up to 10 trays). If you would like to enquire about any of these products, or for any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to call us on 01495 243222 or email sales@dischromatics.co.uk.

Fulfilment, Design, Print & Packing

Dischromatics have recently launched a brand new website aimed at customers who require print services, hand packing and assembly, graphic design and fulfilment.

Although the company already carries out regular fulfilment runs for high street chains, the service now goes beyond just sending out compact discs. Dischromatics will complete individual mailing for any number of different products. The offices are situated just around the corner from the local sorting office, allowing the company to work with increased efficiency, and ensuring the post never gets missed. Even if you do not require your goods to be shipped to various addresses, the assembly team can complete any hand-packing run, whether large or small, one-off or regular, in a clean environment.

Dischromatics can now also supply all sorts of printed matter including full colour printed posters, leaflets, programmes, CD and DVD inserts and many other products upon request. The artwork for your printed parts can also be completed in-house by the design team, supplying you with pdf proofs at every stage of the design. The company uses PC and MAC systems running the full Adobe Creative Suite of packages, as well as Quark Express and Acrobat Professional.

The website covering these services can be viewed at http://www.fulfilment-packing.co.uk/; if you would like a quotation for any of these services, please send your request to gareth@dischromatics.co.uk.
