Digipak & their conventions

A digipak is a style of CD/DVD packaging. A digipak can consist of 4; 6 or 8 panels. Depending on what else you wish to include with the CD/DVD. It opens like a book rather than a plastic case, it is made from card rather than plastic. Digipaks are a registered trade mark of AGI World Ltd. They are often used for special editions of a CD or DVD as digipaks are less likely to get scratched compared to jewel cases.

To gain more of an insight into digipak's I am going to research existing digipaks and music albums for some inspiration.

Template of a Digipak

The front of the digipak will stereotypically have an image of the artist and the name of the artist.

The right hand side sleeve will contain the CD which includes the tracks.

The left hand side sleeve may contain a music video, a mini video of what they have filmed, cuts or un seen footage.

The back cover will show the tracks and their number listing.

The conventions of a digipak are:

• Name of the album
• Artists name
• A tracklisting - including any bonus tracks
• Price
• Website
• Credits/Who wrote the songs
• Sometimes lyrics are included in a booklet
• Barcode
• Logo
