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
C-Shell and Similar Thin Cases
- These tend to be single piece packages with a Live Hinge
- Often Polypropylene
- Examples:
- Innovera Slim CD Cases, Clear, 25 Pack (~14 USD) (Translucent White)
- Innovera Slim CD Cases, Clear, 10 Pack (~9 USD) (Assorted Colors)
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?
==
Digipack
- Essentially a cardboard "book" that has either the Plastic Insert Itself from a Jewel Case, or a similar divot and spindle
- In the case of Music/Video releases it can have artwork and such
- Probably not as durable, but it depends
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
Internal Links
External Links
- a RateYourMusic Wiki Post Titled "Package type"
- Just found this based on the images, has a detailed guide with good photos/diagrams (although seems to be instructions on what to tag your stuff as based on desciptors)
- A Duplication Company (Duplication . ca)'s Page Showcasing their Options
- A Publishing Shop (Disc Wizards) Page Titled "CD DVD & Vinyl Design Templates - Download all CD, DVD & vinyl print packaging design templates here
- Showcases their options and has templates for each
- Media Medley - Music CD Case Packaging Styles
- PREMIUM Super Jewel Box King Size Super Jewel Case CD DVD Super Audio Hinge Case (why does it have a punchcard in it) (May lowkey just be the DVD case type thing, which apparently HIPS ones were made of, but otherwise seemed notable, and the punchcard was just goofy enough to need to share lol)
