The document describes the cardboard digipack used for Animal Collective's album. It uses cardboard and netting instead of plastic to be more eco-friendly and representative of their organic folk music. The cardboard design protects the CD cheaper than plastic would while also allowing for better artwork screening and inclusion of a booklet that further protects the CD and offers extra content like track listings and credits.
