Common CD Packaging Options

2 Panel Cardboard Sleeves

2 panel cardboard sleeves or mini-jackets are printed on white cardboard and then die cut and glued - they're like a mini record jacket. The CD slides in from the side.

Jewel Boxes

The classic jewel box is still a cost-effective and popular option. Includes a front CD cover or booklet as well as a traycard which goes behind the CD. The paper printing is full colour everywhere (ie 4/4 or recto-verso printing).
