Digipak

What is a digipak?

Digipaks typically consist of a book-style paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. It means the CD comes in a cardboard flip-out case rather than a standard plastic hinged case.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.

What is included in a Digipak?

  • Photographs / Pictures – usually at least one will be of the artist(s) and another might be of a scene that reflects the mood / genre of the record.


  • Track List including song writing credits.

  • One box with a Disk impression (perhaps a circle over an innocuous background that shows where the disc will go or alternatively the design on the actual disc).

  • A Band/Artist information section (names, instruments, additional musicians, Copyright and year of release etc.)

  • Barcode and QR and a  Logo for the record company.

  • Possibly reference to other albums by the same artist(s).
