CD Packaging: What Makes a Great CD Packaging

The CD packaging should protect your CD First and foremost, a CD packaging should be able to perform its basic function. Its primary purpose is to store and protect the CD from scratches, dust, liquids, and other elements that could damage the disc.

This should be the first consideration when thinking about a creative concept for your CD packaging. Try to be creative without sacrificing the CD cover’s main function. The CD packaging should be easy to ship When planning the design of your CD packaging, always consider how it will be shipped. Choose materials that do not consume too much space and can easily be stacked. This may mean that you choose regular shaped containers over irregular ones.
