CD Jewel Cases

If you ever bought a CD at the 'record store', you're familiar with jewel cases. They continue to be the primary packaging tool used for delivering music CDs to retail customers. Pre packaged software is also often sold in jewel cases. They provide excellent protection from dust and when used with inserts, protect discs from sunlight as well (an important considertion for recordable discs). These can also be found in multi disc configurations that house 2,4 and even 6 discs in a single jewel case.
Let's look at some of the options available in the jewel case category.

• Traditional Configurations
  The single disc full size jewel case is the "original". These units consist of three pieces: the back panel, the cover and the tray insert. Typically, a black tray that holds the disc inside the case snaps into the back panel. This allows a printed back-panel insert to be exposed in the back portion of the case and then the cover seals the disc inside the case. The cover is typically tabbed to hold a paper insert to dress up the front of your jewel case. If you want your CD/DVD data and music discs to look "retail ready", this is the packaging you will want to use so it allows you to easily include printed card stock on the front and back of the case itself.

  Note: Traditional jewel cases can be purchased "unassembled". This is useful if you are using back inserts in significant quantities of cases because you don't have remove the trays before inserting the back panel insert.

• Slim jewel case Configurations
  In order to save space and reduce costs, manufacturers have introduced a series of "slimmer" jewel cases. This is typically achieved by molding the tray insert directly into back panel. This reduces the number of case components to two. Generally speaking the plastic is also thinner in these configurations. This reduces the impact protection capabilities slightly, but it does significantly reduce the storage space requirements versus traditional jewel cases - sometimes by as much as 50%. Plus, you can save as much as 40% when compared to traditional jewel case costs. If you have a desk cluttered with CDs & DVDs, this is an alternative you should look at.
