Looking into the Digipak

A digipak is the packaging a cd comes in.

They are made out of card stock of another type of heavy paper or cardboard material and the part which holds the disk is usually a plastic case which is glued onto the paper background. The most common CD Digipaks is the 4 panel Digipak which opens like a book. However 6 panel CD Dipipaks are also very popular as they provide a larger canvas for CD artwork and text information about the CD.
These are examples templates for a 4 and 6 panel digipak:


The front and back panels are used to promote the cd and draw the audience in and the inside panels are used to give more information such as song lyrics, artist information and any personal messages. On the back of the pack will usually be the track list.
