Discs are supplied to you in bulk, on 100 count spindles, or "cake boxes". You stuff 'em, sleeve 'em, stick 'em, or do whatever else your discs' destiny would dictate.

Ahh, the ubiquitous windowed paper sleeve. When your brilliant label design says it all, and you need it on a budget, the old stand-by is hard to beat. It's a clean, inexpensive method that offers basic protection, easily inserted into more rigid packaging. 

Clamshells offer up another inexpensive alternative to the jewel case that's becoming more popular all the time. Clear cases expose disc labels like a paper sleeve, and snap securely closed, protecting the disc in a rigid, thin enclosure.

The most bang-for-buck, particularly for DVD-Video, is the extremely popular DVD-safe or Amaray case. It securely protects the media, makes a great presentation, and allows for a full- color sleeve insert. Clips inside allow for a printed sheet or booklet insertion. We think this is the best way to package all kinds of content: it's easy to ship, allows for sophisticated graphic design, increases retention and perceived value.

The standard jewel case is still THE way to deliver commercial music, and can be a good option for some other types of content. If you want your product to exist happily along side other jewel cased items on the shelf, or in people's collections, this is the way to go. We typically won't recommend the jewel case for very many applications outside of the music industry, as it's not particularly cheap, and in our experience, the cases themselves can break in about 8 different ways.

If you'd like to really stand out in the crowd, there are a myriad packaging product variations, printed piece configurations, total custom printed packaging, and unique approaches to media packaging. Let's talk about your product, budget, and plans, and then find the right presentation for your disc that will fit right in with the rest of your marketing strategy.
