CD Case - Discussion of Formats.

When looking into what design to use for the CD Case there are numerous types to take inspiration from from jewel or digipaks to extreme Box sets.

Jewel Cases are the norm for most Music CD's which shelves stack full of them and has been the favourite way of distributing your bands music for well over the past decade. This is down to the simplicity of the design and ease of production.

The Digipak has been round for nearly just as long. Generally made out of card and seen as a more environmental friendly method of producing CD Cases it has failed to take over the market due to increased production costs. However the digipak normally offers a far more pleasant to own case due to the better materials used!

Other extreme CD Cases include collectables like this Kiss CD collection case. These are far more expensive to produce so are definitely considered rarities and normally at least 10 times the price of the other 2 mentioned cases above.

I personally prefer the Jewel case because they are all down to an industrial standard meaning they will always fit into your CD Rack.
