Slipcase Box Sets
Slipcase box sets are made by bundling together multiple items such as disc or vinyl LP jackets, digipaks, paper books, or cases into a slipcase. Sometimes however a slipcase just dresses up one special volume. All of the items we manufacture are custom made to your spec, including size, shape, and die cuts, paper stocks and materials.

- Dimensions or the type of packaging it will be going over (i.e, two dvd digipaks, or five cd jackets)

QUANTITY / MIN ORDER
- Min order is 300/500 units for cd/dvd size and 200 vinyl size.
- Manufacturing slipcases with media (discs, books, etc.) is much more cost effective than manufacturing slipcases separately.
- Slipcase-only orders (without the media contents) usually require a mockup to ensure the fit to client’s items.
