Question: What makes a digipak a digipak?
Answer: a Tray
All Digipaks Page
The nature of the tray really defines the size of the packaging. Common options are CD Sized, DVD Sized, or MegaTall (used for multidisc collections).
- CD Sized 5×5″
- DVD Sized 5×7″, 7×5″
- MegaTall 10″ (uses 5″ trays on one panel)
Trays can be the traditional plastic, clear trays, or we have special eco-friendly recycled paper trays (see Eco Digipaks) for a plastic free alternative. Custom made foam trays give you additional flexibility as we can create them in any size or configuration (e.g., disc & usb combo).
Paper stock thickness is usually 15/16pt (310gsm), although we can go thicker…up to 28pt. Lamination is another way to add thickness. Types of paper include a crisp white, recycled, uncoated matte, and fiberboard.
