Verbatim Unveils Innovative
DVD/CD Label Kit with Revolutionary Touch-Less, Non-curl Application
System
N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 30, 2003-- Well-known throughout the storage
industry for the innovation that enhances its CD and DVD product lines,
Verbatim® Corporation announced today a revolutionary new DVD/CD Label Kit and a
selection of Label Refill Packs. Unique to the Label Kit is Verbatim's
proprietary Touch-Less(TM) Application System, which enables users to neatly and
securely label their CDs and DVDs without touching the label adhesive. In
addition to the Touch-Less system, the kit includes a total of 105 labels for a
variety of different media formats and cases, Label Design Software, and more
than 1,500 background images and clipart images that make creating and printing
personalized disc labels fast and easy.
"Until now,
labeling systems have had relatively minor improvements to ensure that labels
are quickly, easily and effectively applied to media and cases," explained Ron
Hanafin, Verbatim CD Product Marketing Manager. "Based on the wishes of
consumers, Verbatim's new and revolutionary Touch-Less labeling application
system was developed to overcome typical inconveniences which are a direct
result of having to peel off and handle the label adhesive. Verbatim's new
system overcomes these shortcomings, thereby preventing labels from sticking to
end users hands while also avoiding label curling and surface wrinkles when
applying the label to a disc."
A key component in the kit's system is Verbatim's
exact-fit, multi-purpose applicator. Designed to ensure that the label is
centered every time, consumers can quickly customize a variety of different
media formats and cases with professional-looking labels in just minutes.
Formats supported include: DVDs and CDs, Digital Vinyl CD-Rs, and 8cm Pocket
CD-Rs as well as the spines of slim cases and jewel cases.
"Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-Rs have been a big hit
because they look and feel just like the old 45 rpm records," said Hanafin.
"People use the retro-looking CD-Rs to put some fun in recording and sharing
personal music mixes, photo albums and home videos; or to convert old, analog LP
records. With the kit's applicator support and Premium Matte White labels,
Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-R customers will be able to create their own label
designs and the discs will have an even greater impact."
The Label Kit provides everything consumers and
businesses need to immediately begin organizing and personalizing their CDs and
DVDs, including a total of 105 labels and Label Design Software that offers more
than 1,500 background images and clipart files to speed-up the design process.
The easy-to-use software also gives users the flexibility to unleash their
creativity with advanced features such as the Playlist Manager, which allows
them to create playlist databases of their favorite albums and audio tracks; and
Track Listing, which enables them to import song titles and the artist's name
from a CD Audio disc directly to their label design. DVD Video templates are
also included to help users customize their DVD media using pre-designed
templates for video labeling.
The Premium Matte White DVD/CD disc labels that are
included in Verbatim's new Label Kit are full-face format labels that cover the
entire surface of the disc. Verbatim full-face labels provide 10 percent
additional design space, compared to standard-face labels. The Verbatim Label
Kit also includes a selection of Digital Vinyl CD-R labels, Spine labels and
DVD/CD Inserts.
In addition to the labels supplied with the DVD/CD
Labeling System, Verbatim will offer two label refill packs -- a 100-pack of
DVD/CD full-face labels and a 40-pack of Digital Vinyl CD-R labels.
