CD Packaging

CD Packaging

The right CD packaging not only protects the CD data, but also beautifies the final product. An attractively packed CD or DVD is bound to attract more attention. Several types of packaging boxes and covers are available in the market.

Importance and Benefits of CD Packaging

The first impression of a CD or DVD is generally based on its cover, thus making CD packaging an integral part of the optical media business. CD manufacturing and replicating companies are increasingly opting for unique packaging concepts to attract customers. The quality of packaging speaks volumes about the expected quality of the disc and its data. A poorly packaged CD, on the other hand, may not register good sales owing to its lack of ability to attract customers.

Thus, the right packaging ensures:

1. The safety of the data

2. Creation of good first impression in the customers’ minds

3. Presenting a glimpse into the contents of the CD

4. Ease of shipping and dispatch

5. Staying ahead of competition

Types of CD Packaging

The type of CD packaging is influenced by its purpose, such as whether it is to be shipped to long distances or distributed as a promotional product. If it is meant to create a high visual impact, the packaging has to be attractive and glossy (high tech printing is used in this case) with multiple colors. If the CDs are to be shipped long distances, safety is the prime concern and the packaging has to be done accordingly.

Certain standard CD packaging formats are:

1. Jewel Cases

2. Ejector Cases

3. CD Booklets

4. Slider Packs

5. Plastic Wallets

6. Card Sleeves

7. Clam Shell

8. CD Cases

CD covers made of recycled products have become quite popular in this era of ecological conservation. Similarly, products made from paper or board from sustainable forests is also a favorite. Several optical media companies also offer creative, innovative and custom-made packaging solutions for their clients. These days, paper packaging is fast replacing the traditional CD packages made of plastic.

Budget too plays a key role in deciding the type of packaging. Paper sleeves are ideal for clients with tight budget. CD cardboard mailers are the ideal packaging material if the CD has to be sent to several people.
