What is a Digipak?

A digipak is a type of CD case using card stock or another heavy paper material. They open like a book and can have two, three or four faces within it. They usually contain exactly the same items and information as a normal CD case (it contains a booklet and the CD itself). The CD can be held within a normal plastic holder like a traditional CD case, or it can be kept inside a pocket. Digipak's normally contain more artwork, information and space. They are also a lot more compact than a traditional CD case.

Here are two examples of a Digipak:

They can be made in a variety of different ways, however the most simple is to:

1. Get a piece of card/paper that measures 57cm x 12.5cm.
2. The 57cm is for 4 panels of that are 14cm each in length and a spine
3. The two outside panels fold to the centre and are stuck down
4. Add a pocket or plastic panel for the CD
