Not to state the obvious, but before your fanbase hears your latest album, they’re likely going to see the artwork first. This is why packaging is so important for your album release, it’s going to give the first impression as to whether your music is worth a listen, let alone a purchase. Fortunately we know everything there is to know about CD packaging, especially when it comes to our forte, CD Wallets and Digipaks! So what makes us stand out from other print companies? Let’s break it down.
#1 Quality
Our wallets and Digipaks are printed on thick 15pt cardstock, giving your album the durability to survive a tour and a mosh pit. The beauty of their design is that the cardstock gives a bit of density that gives your customers confidence in the package, but they’re lightweight enough that you won’t have any issue carrying a box of them up those endless venue stairs.
#2 Specialty Colors
Our Xerox Iridesse press has raised the bar for printed material, allowing us to print outside the standard limited color range of CMYK, expanding to the hot and vibrant world of RGB! We can now print bright fluorescent colors, such as highlighter pinks, neon oranges, and hot yellows. Using spot colors we can also add a layer of silver and gold to portions of your artwork, giving a dazzling emphasis on text or art areas. Similarly, a pass of spot gloss also adds an extra glossy and reflective look to areas of your design.
Print embellishments can easily be added to your CD replication order in the quote form. We’ve also added them as options to CD wallets, Digipaks, and many of the printed products in the online store.
#3 Variety of Designs
If you’re looking for a classic design with plenty of space for artwork and a booklet, then you’ll feel right at home with our 4-panel wallets and Digipaks. If you’re working on a budget and want a simple cover for a sampler or single, a 2-panel sleeve might be for you! For those looking for a deluxe packaging solution with a ton of panels for artwork, liner notes, and lyrics, then we’d consider our 6-panel and 8-panel packages.
The point is, we have a massive variety of package designs. Some have the sleeve opening on the lefthand side, some have thumbholes, some unfurl this way and others that way. And if we somehow don’t have the exact model you’re looking for, you can always shoot us an email and we get can get working on a new die for your order!
