Do-it-Yourself CD DVD Packaging with Impact - Jewelboxing

Independent musicians and videographers ready for a release are often faced with a dilemma when it comes to producing their final product: duplication or replication.

Replication (pressed disc) runs are more cost effective per unit, they look just like 'major' releases with silkscreened discs and offset printed inserts, but the minimum order is typically 1000 pieces. Duplication (burned discs) can be ordered in much smaller quantities, but you take your chances with the quality of the printing. Frankly speaking as a cd cover designer, laser prints in a standard jewel case will never have the same impact as its factory-fresh counterpart.

So how do you make that all important first impression if 1000 pieces is way too many? If you can burn you own discs, have a good printer and a desire for control (and what artist doesn't?), you should consider the Jewelboxing disc packaging system. It contains their unique cases for cds or dvds, and perforated sheets ready for your printer - no cutting necessary... and no suprises when it comes to the quality of the prints.

The Jewelboxing cases make all the difference - round corners, sturdy feel, modern design lines, quality construction. They really make standard cases feel cheap, flimsy and old fashioned. Since your audience has probably opened their fair share of the old cases, why not hit them with something new they may have never seen before. For DIYers, this is a great way to stand out.

Check out some completed projects using the Jewelboxing system.
