Digipak and Magazine Advert Research

Digipak is a patented style of CD, DVD or BD packaging. They consist of a book-style paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. They are usually used for premium package sets, or double disc sets.

We will be creating a digipak and using it as a form of promotion for the song.

What should be on a digipak

• Name of the artist and album.
• List of tracks on the CD, either written on the inside or on the back cover.
• Images of the band/artist that the digipak is promoting.
• Spine - with the name of artist/ album
• Additional information about each song, e.g. lyrics, producers, writers etc.
• Disk design. 
• Panels (the amount may vary)
• Record company logo/ Information.
• An image of the artist is not essential but it is advised, possibly on the inside of the digipak. 
• Bar code.

We will need to include these features on our digipak to ensure that it is of the best quality.

Below is an example of a common template used to create digipak's.
