A digipak consists of a foldable paperboard or cardboard outer case with one or more plastic trays inside to hold a CD or DVD. Digipaks were created by MeadWestvaco as a soft packaging alternative to jewel cases for CDs. They benefit artists by providing a promotional aspect that increases awareness and encourages music purchases. The digipak format described is a common four-panel design that measures 135mm by 125mm when finished.

1. Digipaks
What is a Digipak?
A digipak consists of gatefold (book style) paperboard or
cardboard outer binding with one or more plastic trays capable of
holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside case. Digipaks came in
use to describe all soft CD packaging. MeadWestvaco first created
it and their product called Digi-pak is trademarked. This benefits
the artist and their promotional aspect of the industry, which
gives awareness to the artist and encouraging consumers to buy
and listen to their music.
