CD Digipacks are a type of CD packaging made out of card or other heavy paper materials. Digipacks are designed to flip open like a book and the panels can be increased from 4 to 6, or 8 or more.
Material - 300gsm card with matt or gloss varnish. Or lamination or embossing available.
Dimensions - (based on standard 4pp Digipack) 139.5mm x 6mm x 125.5mm.
Advantages of Digipacks:They are virtually shatter proof unlike the standard jewel case CD packs.Digipacks are more environmentally friendly as they can be recycled.
- Allows the artists to have more graphic displays.
- The artists can include more advertisements/booklets/competitions in the die-cut slots.
Disadvantages of Digipacks:
- They are more expensive than the traditional jewel cases.
- The paper/cardboard does tend to peel and rip eventually.
- There is not as much protection for the CD as the outer cover is only made of paper.
Examples of CD Digipacks:
Justin Timberlake - Greatest Hits
I like that he has used his previous CD covers/albums on this Digipack, also I really like the image on the right of him with the text outlining around his body.
Alicia Keys - Greatest Hits
On Alicia Keys Digipack I liked the old style CD records she used as well as the colourful pastel pattern underneath the CD on the far right hand side.
Phil Collins - Going Back
The Phil Collins Digipack has both the CD and a DVD in it, and I liked how the images links in with the album title. As it is called Going Back and the photo on the front is of Phil young and the final image on the back is Phil Collins of him now.
