CD Duplication

What this internship is

This internship covers the physical side of releasing music — how CDs actually get manufactured, packaged, and shipped. You'll learn the operations and fulfillment behind a real physical release, from approving the master to sealing the mailer.

Why it matters here: physical product still matters — for collectors, for merch tables, and for the people inside, where a CD can reach where a stream can't. Every order that ships clean and on time is a promise kept to a real customer. You'll learn that fulfillment is where trust is either earned or lost.

What you'll do

• Learn the manufacturing flow — prepping the master and artwork to the right specs so a run comes back right
• Help manage duplication orders, proofs, and quality checks before product goes out
• Handle packaging and fulfillment — assembling, packing, and shipping real customer orders
• Track inventory and orders so nothing oversells, goes missing, or ships late
• Learn the cost and timeline side: what a run costs, how long it takes, and how to price it

What you'll learn

• How physical CDs go from a finished master to a shipped, shelf-ready product
• Real operations and fulfillment — inventory, quality control, packing, and shipping
• The specs and proofs that keep a manufacturing run from coming back wrong
• Why on-time, clean fulfillment is a core part of an artist's reputation

Who it's for

For the hands-on, detail-driven type who takes pride in getting orders out right — reliable, organized, and not too proud to do the real work that ships the product.
