What is a Digipak

A DigiPak is a modern, stylish alternative to the standard CD Jewel Case. Digipaks are a custom printed card packaging that can hold one or more CDs which are held in place with plastic trays (CD flexitrays) which are glued into the digipak. Digipacks are made out of card stock. The most common CD Digipaks is the 4 panel Digipak which opens like a book however 6 panel CD Dipipaks are also very popular, providing a larger canvas for CD artwork and text information about the CD. 8 panel and even 10 panel CD Digipaks are also available

Here are two examples of a 6 panel Digipak that was presented to me in class.

As my artist genre hasn't got any digipak when researching i looked at other genre just to have an idea of what a digipak must consist of . The outside panels should introduce the artist as the artist is new to the industry so the audience will know who it is. The front outward panel will have a photo of the artist possibly a close up with the name of the artist and the name of the album in a clear font. Also the text must not cover the artists face. The the back outward panel must have a tracklist with appropiate photos and the logo as well as the production company and any small print. The two inside panels will be much more simple compared to outside. The inside panel on the right will have the CD where as on the left may have credits or acknowledgements.
