1. Digipacks
A Digipak is a potential style of CD, DVD or BD packaging.
Digipak’s typically consists of a gate fold (book style) paperboard or a card stock
outer binding with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or a DVD or
attached to the inside. Digipak styling is often used for CD singles or special additions
of CD albums. Digipak style cases grew popular among record labels and recording
artist in the early 2000’s
Digipacks were first created by MeadWestvaco, and their product, called Digi-Pak,
is trademarked. However, as the format became more popular and began to be
used by more manufacturers, the generic "Digipacks" came to be used to describe
all soft CD packaging
Digipak’s look nice, and many bands and labels like to use them for aesthetic
reasons. The three section digipack sleeves opens up more design options because
there is more room. However, they're more expensive than traditional liner notes and
jewel cases.
Digipaks look great, but if you're just starting out and money is tight, looking for ways
to cut your manufacturing costs is important. Stretching your budget to because you
like digipacks aesthetically is not a good investment.
