It allows you to be more graphic and creative and to
include more information because there are more
surfaces to do so.
Its arguable easier to use, there is easier access to
the disks and it is more aesthetically pleasing to see
what disks there are and altogether fit more disks
in.
They can also be collectors items and depending on
whether there is plastic inside the case they are
also fairly good for the environment with the
majority of it being recyclable.

17. Disadvantages of Digipaks
There is a disadvantage of durability, it is made out of
cardboard so rips with age and also if it gets wet it
weakens it and makes it easier to rip.
It can also be difficult to store, many people use CD/DVD
racks for CD/DVD storage, however they come in different
shapes and some are more bulky so it may not fit.
Some people also find it very fiddly to get the disks out of
the components they are put in.
It can be more expensive to make, it includes more
surfaces so it needs more material to make it.
