Slipcase Box Sets, Product Specification & Slipcase Options

Slipcase Box Sets, Product Specification & Slipcase Options

SLIPCASE BOX SETS are made by adding a slipcase to any type of packaging. You can used them to dress up a title or to bundle multiple volumes of books, discs, or records together in a multidisc or media set.

MATERIALS:
Artcard : Generally slipcases are made of 310gsm or thicker art card paper stock and are collapsible. This is the most common type of slipcase.
Chipboard: Rigid box slipcases with a chipboard core are more of a deluxe or special release product.  The chipboard requires a certain width (for exmaple a thick book or 5 cds in digipaks) in order for us to tool it. The chipboard is wrapped with either 4C print, or special material like leather or linen / fabric paper. 

SPECIAL EFFECTS: Artcard slipcases are well suited for special effects such as die cuts, foil, or spot gloss. Lamination adds an extra thickness if desired.

See product options in DESCRIPTION below.

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.
