CD Books are are approximately 5×5 inch. They are made with a rigid, chipboard core and wrapped with a full color printed paper wrap, or special material like linen or leather. The process is called book binding. The inside also has a wrap applied, and this can be full color or a solid material like black matte or kraft paper. The books are laminated with either matte or gloss lamination. Media can be held in a variety of ways (trays, hubs, sleeves). Inner pages start at 8pp and can go up to 100pp or so, in 4pp increments.
