Digipak
Digipak is a patented style of optical disc packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Digipak-style cases grew in popularity among record labels and recording artists in the early 2000s. Digipaks are designed to fold into a square CD case. They can fold many different ways and can have different amount of panels. The front and back panels are the main ‘promoters’ of the CD and are very much used to draw in the customers. The inside of the digipak is used more for information and extra bits to do with the artist/song/album. The theme of the inside packaging normally is more suitable compared to the outside packaging. The cardboard/paper folds around the plastic case which secures the disc in place.
