Digipack

In last weeks lesson we were looking at digipaks and what to include in ours. The definition of a digipak is a type of packaging for CDs or DVDs, typically made from cardboard with an internal plastic holder for one or more discs. Here is an example of one that I found at home:

Traditionally digipaks are made up of four panels and have a plastic case inside to hold the CD/DVD in. Their standard dimensions are 139.5mm x 6mm x 125.5mm, and the card used is 300gsm. The card itself can either be matte or gloss and often includes the track list, a bar-code, reviews and promotion sites e.g. the artists website or Facebook.

Digipaks are become much more popular as they are ecologically friendly and compact which helps to reduce waste material, they are a lot lighter than normal CD cases and are much harder to break, they allow great graffic display and helps the CD to look more premium than a standard jewel case.
