1. Features of a DigipakA Digipak typically consists of a
gatefold/ book style paperboard or card stock outer binding. It
hasone or more plastic trays which can hold a CD or DVD attached to
the inside.The Digipaks are analternative to jewel cases used by
major record companies.Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD
singles or CD albums. Such packaging is less resistantto abrasion
than the jewel cases, so it shows sign of wear quickly.Plus there
are less likely to crack than a jewel case, although the disc tray
inside it is rather brittle isis likely break if the package is
crushed.Manufacturers have sought to reduce environmental impact
and improve functionality byintroducing recycled materials to the
trays of the digipak. One has announced a 100% post-consumer PET
tray made of recycled bottles. Another further step taken is by
totally eliminating theplastic tray and replacing it with a paper
tray made of sugarcane and an egg carton. Includingprinters they
use recycled or sustainable material for the board stock.
