Eco-Friendly Digipaks (mid height, recycled paper content and trays) with CD Replication

Eco Freindly Tray Paks made with fiberboard or recycled content
Eco Tray Pak, 4pp Mid Height, Fiberboard with Diecut

Mid Height Eco Digipaks are the latest trend in eco-friendly CD packaging and can replace the plastic jewelcases. Choose from biodegradable fiberboard or recycled content (70-100%), coated or uncoated paper stock. These are custom manufactured - we can make your package any way you like!

Fiberboard paper stock gives packages a rough texture. Material is very absorbant and results in a soft, organic look. You can use the natural unbleached paper color as part of your art, prints colors directly on it for a muted effect, or print with a white area to help them stand out more. Recycled Paper stock is almost indistinguishable from regular paper stock in appearance. The more the recycled content, the softer the feel. Recycled can be ordered in coated or stock to suit your art. See our special page on spot white ink on fiberboard packaging, setup and examples.

Digipaks use a clear CD tray to hold the disc. The panel underneath is printed as well. If you have a multi-disc title, we can use multiple trays. Digipaks can be 4 panel on up to 10 or 12 panels or more. Slipcases (printed 4C) are a great addition to wrap these. Booklets are easily added with slots, thumbhole, or tube pockets, or literature slots.

We can also make these packages without the plastic trays using pockets or hubs - see Reco-Jackets
and in a taller "DVD" height / 7 inch - see Tall Eco Digipaks

Fun options:
Die cut windows, slipcases, booklets, tube pockets, slot pockets, eco-friendly fiberboard, recycled paper stock, custom folds like a cross or plus or book-fold, finishing options such as embossing, spot UV plus matte laminiation and reverse printing, metallic inks and hot foil stamping

Disc Types

Pressed discs- injection molding, (i.e., substrate is poured out into mold), metal layer with data is formed with metal stamper (made from glass master made from client master). 12cm discs are standard size discs, full data size.

Clear Substrate Discs - uses a mini disc mask with clear substrate out to the edges. Data Size will be small (190MB), physical size the same as a standard full size cd. (SeeClear Substrate CD)

Recordable Discs - made with a special recordable layer substrate. Has no data but comes with printing. Ready to burn. Use for special needs such as frequently changing data (note - more expensive than pressed).

Mini Discs - 8cm discs, (8cm / Mini Disc site.)
Disc Printing
Up to 5-color offset from your art file (film production included). If you're not familiar with this, 5C is full color (many replicators allow only 3 in the price) and Offset Printing is the highest quality (gorgeous picture discs, almost always an extra charge - it's free here, part of our way of making sure these are WOW discs.)
Proof discs
Provided (pressed & printed) for your approval. We set up the press and manufacture & print your proof disc. It is the only way to make absolutely certain that it's perfect. We'll send to you for approval.
