CD Packaging
Our packaging options
CD 's, CD-R 's, CD-ROM 's and DVD 's can be packed
in various types of cases
and sleeves.
Artwork can
be printed simply in black & white or in up to
five-colors.
For CD packaging we
suggest the following standard solutions:

Jewel case: standard plastic case (like for
audio), with possibility to insert a booklet (up to
48 pages) and a bottomcard (aka "inlay").
Bottom trays can be black, white or transparent.
Slimline case: same as jewelbox, but thinner
and only a booklet can be inserted.
Two-piece box: slightly thicker than slimline.
Carton sleeve: allowing 4 color printing on
both sides.
Paper sleeve: most economical solution, with
or without self adhering sticker.
Tinbox: carton box for 4 to 10 CD ’s.
Plastic sleeve: transparent, with or without
flap

Booklets can be inserted into most of these packaging types.
The number of pages allowed for each types is indicated
next to "Print Options" on our packaging
page.
The booklets can either be "stapled" or "unstapled
folders".
