Now that I had done some research into existing CD covers of my pop genre (see 9th January post) I need to define what a CD digi-pack actually is and how it is different from a normal CD cover.
So, What is a CD digi-pack?
- It is made from cardboard so is light weight, is shatter proof and allows great graphic display for any images that want to be used.
- It was originally used to package albums
- They make a bigger statement that what an average Cd cover does and represents the ultimate custom packaging for our CD cover project.
- It's more environmentally friendly than originally CD covers were.
- Rather then just havi
ng a front and back cover, it "folds out" into different panels which have different functions. Most commonly it is either 4, 6 or 8 panels.

- The front cover and back cover of the CD Digi-pack are different. The front cover usually has the artist's/band's name, illustrations and most commonly the logo of the artist/band is featured too. The back cover will have a track list which simply includes all the song titles that are featured on the album and some will perhaps include the name of the producer of this music or some form of management label/website address.
- When it comes to consumer use, in order for the customer to be attracted to the Digi-pack, they are placed frontwards on shelves. This way the buyers can see the bright front cover with the artist/band on and will be immediately attracted to it.
