crash course in cd manufacturing

the basics - the packaging
this section is currently under construction. we appologize for any inconvenience this may cause

the most common form of cd packaging is the jewel case.

jewel case

the jewel case is made up of 2 different parts: the front of the jewel case, and the back of the jewel case (some might say that the jewel case is made up of 3 parts, but it's not. the "3rd" part of the jewel case is actually a different piece called the trayholder... we'll get to that soon). the front of the jewel case is attached to the back of the jewel case with small pins which act as hinges.

the trayholder is the part of the case where the actual cd is held.



the trayholder snaps into the back of the jewel case, and the cd snaps into the trayholder.


    

jewel cases are available in clear plastic (the standard type), or clear, colour tinted plastics, and trayholders are available in opaque black (the standard type), clear plastic (fairly common type), clear, colour tinted plastics (speciality items), and opaque colours other than black (speciality items).






we can supply coloured jewel cases and trayholders, however you should verify with us that we have the colour you want in stock, as well as its price, before placing your order. these items are only available for us to order in large quantities, so depending upon the size of your order we may or may not be able to get the speciality jewel cases and trayholders specifically for you... BUT it is completely possible that we have some already in stock from a previous order. please ask us about these items for your order.
