Basics
- This page aims to go over the various ways of packaging Optical Discs such as CDs DVDs and Blu-Rays / M-Disc
Options
Jewel Case
- A Plastic Case that is pretty rigid, and outside of potentially shattering the disc when removing it, shouldn't damage the disc
Digipack
- Essentially a cardboard "book" that has a divot and spindle similar to that of a Jewel Case
- Cheaper/Lighter (and in the case of Music/Video releases it can have artwork and such), but not as durable
STiL CD Case
- Marketed for archival use
- Made of Polypropylene, but supposedly a better mechanism for releasing the disc (to prevent shatter), and larger gaps to prevent scraping
- The Website
- A Potential Source for Buying them, PrintFile Archival Storage
- Rated for up to 60 Years
- Need to see what this is based off of, some sort of Accelerated Aging test maybe?
Sleeves
- Due to the risk of scratching the disc these aren't advisable, although for casual use of easily replaceable things it isn't a big deal
- Can be plastic, paper, or cardboard
