Digipaks

What is a Digipak?

- A digipak is normally made out of card packaging. It differs from a traditional case, or 'jewel case' as this is made from plastic.

- They have gate fold effects so they can be folded into each other

- Digipaks have 4-8 panels, again making them differ from a traditional jewel case. Having more panels means that more information and images can be put on, or so more than one CD can go in.

- They will have more information than a traditional case because there is more space for it to go on.

- It can be a helpful marketing tool, as they are often said to be 'Special edition' , 'Limited edition' or 'Collectors edition'

- There is often additional material/ extra disc/poster/lyrics/booklet
