Digipak and Magazine Advert

What is a Digipak?

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. It comes the CD comes in a cardboard flip-out case rather than a standard plastic hinged case.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.

What is included in a Digipak?

  • Photographs / Pictures - usually at least one will be of the artist(s) and another might be of a scene that reflects the mood / genre of the record.
  • Tracklist including song writing credits.
  • One box with a disk impression (perhaps a circle over an innocuous background thats shows where the disc will go or alternatively the design on the actual disk).
  • A band / artist information section (names, instrumentals, additional musicians, copyright and year of release etc.) 
  • Barcode, QR and a logo for the record company.
  • Possibly reference to other albums by the same artist(s).
