Do:

• Only handle the disc from the outer edges or the inner core.
  
• Store disc's in a cool, dry, and dark environment away from direct sun light, high temperatures and humidity.
  
• Always place disc's back in their jewel cases after use.
  
• Try to keep dirt and any other foreign material away from the disc.
  
• Clean disc's with an approved method if they do get dirty or smudged.
  
• Keep disc's stored in their original protective cases.
  
• Store disc's in an upright position for long term storage.
  
• Remove the shrink wrap only when you are ready to use the disc. Keeping it on till then protects the disc.
  
• Always let disc get to room temperature before placing in disc drive. If you had the disc outside in high or low temperatures, wait at least 15 minutes before using.
  
• Use a professional duplication company if multiple copies are needed for your disc's. Using your own equipment to burn copies is very time consuming and will lead to pre-mature equipment failure. Plus, professional companies are much more skilled at printing full color disc's that look good.
