Packaging Options for Cd and DVD Continue to Grow
Everyone has their own ideas when it comes to how their finished CD or DVD artwork should look for maximum visual impact. Whether it’s retail, corporate, promotional or even a giveaway, there are hundreds of CD and DVD packaging options available.
Things have come a long way since the first music CD was launched in the 1980s. The simple song list and lyric covers that were inserted in the original CD jewel case have moved over for the more complex and visually interesting multi-page CD and DVD cover designs of today.
As music has evolved, so has the CD packaging. Similarly, the DVD you recently played at home, has undergone that same evolution. Movie Distribution companies spend huge sums on promotion, marketing and advertising and to make sure their DVD packaging is eye-catching, cutting edge, even “over the top”, to grab the buyer’s attention. The DVD packaging needs to reflect the style, tone and pace of the movie, so that buyers will be motivated to buy and watch that movie.
The old plastic case has given way to metal,” flat panel” and “cut out”, 3D or even Holographic designed cases. The newer Blu-Ray discs will certainly set new packaging heights as they become more common and title owners vie for sales. No limits DVD packaging means more sales. New Digital Print technology means that fast, quality, affordable CD & DVD packaging is now within reach. Packaging budgets now go further as costs have come down, and tight deadlines are now achievable.
So, you have a CD or DVD for replication, and are wondering how to package it?
There are lots of generic options available, some so simple that no printed paper parts are required. CD/DVD packaging options include: -
* PVC or paper sleeve: - These are simple and cost effective.
* Cardboard Wallet:- these can be plain, recycled board or overprinted, even to Australia Post specifications for easy mailing.
* Clamshell cases or mailers:- Pliable soft plastic, these are very popular and are a great option when there are no paper parts.
* CD Jewel case:- Single or multi disc versions. These can accommodate a printed booklet and rear inlay.
* CD Caddie case:- a variation of the old jewel case, made from Polypropylene and not prone to breaking easily. These also accept a printed slick.
* DVD case:- Standard 14mm in a variety of colours. Can accept up to 6 discs. These accommodate a printed slick and booklets.
* DVD Slimline:-.7mm slimline version. Similar to 14 mm DVD case above. Slick has a 7mm spine.
For more specialised requirements, their are a range of Custom Printed Cardboard options available and barcodes or consecutive number systems, can also be catered for.
* Overprinted Card Wallets
* Gatefold Cardboard Wallets for single, double, or multi DVD discs.
* Digipacks:- DVD or CD available in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 panels to hold 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc discs.
* Printed Disc Mailers made to Australia Post standards.
The Internet can be extremely helpful for deciding which packaging is right for your next CD or DVD duplication job. These days duplication companies have easy to use templates available on their websites, making it simple for you, or your art team, to download and get to work on new and innovative packaging. Several duplication companies offer more than 20 different CD/DVD packaging options to cover most requirements. These are Mac and PC friendly. Web sites offer this type of service free of charge.
