2. A Digipak is limited edition packaging for an
album, single etc.
Typically made from cardboard or another
kind of soft exterior material with an internal
plastic holder for discs.
3. Although a normal album or single would only
have one disc a digipak can have as many as
the band want to put in; there could even be
extra pockets inside with another CD inside
just to add that little bit of customisation
compared to the basic.
The style of the digipak can just open like a
book, or it can have three parts where the left
side can open as well as the right side with the
CD in the centre of the packaging.
4. Pros:
There is much more room for artistic design as
the surface area of the cover is larger.
Digipacks can be more environmentally
friendly than jewel cases because they can be
made of recycled paper.
Digipacks don't crack like jewel cases do.
Can provide fans with exclusive footage plus
live tour footage.
5. Cons:
More expensive than traditional liner notes and
jewel cases.
Can eventually rip and the paper will separate
making ruining the whole digipak.
the teeth that hold the CD in place crack and
fall out easily, and once they have cracked
there is nothing to hold the CD in.
Not as much protection as the exterior is made
of paper.
6. The main selling point on the front of the Oasis
Digipak is a guitar, this is to promote their
genre and what they mainly use to create their
music.
