I prefer the lower unit print-on-demand services, when available.  It 
will cost more per unit, but you can order only the amount you need.  I 
would buy then from 10 to 30 at a time for my handing out.  But if you 
can get a nice one, you could set it up to have it take orders from 
"customers" who would lake their own copies of the DVDs that are 
professional print quality.  I cannot do a business out of my apartment, 
so I cannot take orders from those who would like a copy, but others may 
be able to do this.  So for me, if I can get the equipment [buy or 
borrow] to print the labels onto the media, and then have the paper 
items professionally printed [folded and cut to size], then it would be 
easy to just put them together myself and hand them out or sent them to 
people I know wants them.  I just cannot collect money for doing this in 
my place, due to regulation with handicapped apartments.
