Digipak

Digipak is called this as it stands for digital and packaging.
Digipaks were first created by Meadwestvaco, and their product, called 'Digi-Paks' is trademarked. However, as the format became more popular and began to be used by more manufacturers, the generic 'digipak' came to be used to describe all soft CD Packaging.

Digipaks are a type of CD Packaging made out of CD packaging made out of card material. They are economic good as they are cheaper than a normal cd album.

Digipaks are like a book which have usually 4-6 panels. They are good and bad things about digipaks:

PROS -

•  They don't crack
• More environmentally friendly made of recycled paper
• Economically better than jewel cases CDs. From research I discovered cd cost compared to digipak)
• They are more personal then a CD album due to exclusive photos, e.g. or song lyrics.

Customers get more of a personal response to digipak than CD)

CONS -

• Do eventually rip and paper begins to peel apart and seperate.
• Not much protection for CD.
• A digipak is not as popular in the digital age as people download their music through illegal downloading and i-Tunes.
