DGR Inc.

American company acting as a broker for CD/DVD/Blu-Ray replication and glass mastering services. Replication and glass mastering was outsourced to several manufacturing partners across the USA. The company was active between 2002 and 2018. Identification: This broker can be identified by a combination of the following indicators: a) Usually credited in the matrix as DGR or www.dgrinc.com. b) Usually a sequential job numbers (a 4-digit number found in the matrix next to their web address or "DGR" text) was added to their handled product, which can be added to the "Manufactured By" LCCN role. For example like on Phantom Knights, the job number to be added is "1414". Be careful not to list the number following the artist identifier in the matrix, as it refers to something else. Note: IFPI WA76 (or any variations of it) sometimes appears printed in the mirror band as part of the matrix string. When it is printed like that it is a part of the "matrix text", assigned during the glass mastering phase and is not related to the replication or moulding stage of manufacturing, but may be a proxy indicator for a third party company involvement. It should not be additionally entered into the BAOI Mastering SID Code or Mould SID Code fields, as it does not appear to be a proper mastering or mould SID code. LCCN roles: Manufactured By - DGR Inc. - [job number whenever possible] Whenever "DFM/CA" text also appears inside the matrix, please see Digital Flex Media profile.
