Research into Digipaks

A digipak is a style of CD or DVD packaging, often used for special addition CDs and DVDs.

They are one of the first alternatives to jewel cases and became popular amoung recording artists in the 2000s.

Digipaks typically consist of a 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.

They are less likely to crack compared to jewel cases, but the plastic teeth used to hold the disc in place inside the packaging is brittle and can easily snap and break if the digipak is trodden on or crushed in some way.

Digipak manufacturers are trying to make the digipaks more environmentally friendly by introducing recycled components into the product.

Example of a Digipak:
