A cutout design is perfect if you want more texture (and beauty!) in your CD or DVD packaging.
To achieve a really good-looking cutout CD packaging, you need to do an intricate process which could involve your bare hands and cutters or a die-cutting machine.
But there is no doubt its pay-off because it is the kind of packaging that stands out from the rest and it definitely has a much higher artistic value.
Just take a look at these very lovely Cutout CD packaging designs and you would not want yours any other way.
