What is a Digipak
Digipaks typically consist of a book style paperboard or card outer binding with one or more plastic trays inside for holding the cd.
Digipak style packaging was often used or CD singles or special edition albums as it is cheaper to produce, Digipaks also show signs of wearing more as they don’t have a hard exterior.
Manufactures of Digipaks have now made the design more environmentally friendly by using PET plastic trays which can be recycled, or in some cases removing the need for a try and just using a paper wallet making the whole digipak recyclable.
Cd Digipaks are now especially popular in the music industry for not only special editions but cd albums or multiple cd disc sets like the ministry of sound 2012 anthems album. Digipaks provide a low cost professional and expensive look and feel especially when designed with well-produced art work and specialist print finishes such as spot varnishing, matt lamination or embossing.
Digipaks were first created by Meadwestvaco and digipak became traded marked to them, however the format became more popular and began to be used by other manufactures and so the generic digipak is now used to describe all soft cd packaging.
