  • Basic Terminology of Digipak Packaging:
    Number of Panels 4pp - 10pp Horizontal, 10pp - 14pp Cross
    Height of Panels 5inch, 7 inch, 10inch
    Types of Trays Plastic Single, Double, and Paper Trays

    There are numerous features that can be varied when making a digipak:

    • ~ Number of panels (count the number of panels visible on one side. Each panel can hold a tray, or a pocket, or just be a solid panel)

  • Full Color Printing - Reverse Side of Paper 4C/4C
    Printed Inside Pockets and Spines (PIPS)

    We print our digipaks on both sides of the paper so that you get full color, continuous art printing across the inside of the packaging. This is especially important if you have vibrant colors or need to make a big impact. Specialty paper stocks like fiberboard digipaks are generally not printed 4C/4C as the fiberboard is brownish and doesn't result in a glaring white spine if left unprinted.

    Notice the Continuous Art in these Examples of PIPS on White Stock :
    Digipak with full color printing across inside 4C/4Cfull color digipak printing inside spinesdigipak with inside spines printed 4C/1Ccd digipak with continuous printing across inside vintage look paper
    full color printing cd digipak 6pp

    Without PIPS, the inner spine (which is white on white paper) shows:
    trayapk printed 4C/0C

    With Fiberboard Stock, it may or may not matter to have PIPS in your design. Here are some examples of PIPS and No PIPS on Fiberboard Stock:
    fiberboard digipak with 4C/4C printing reverse side of paperfiberboard digipak with 4C/0C printing
    Art is generally printed in 4C (that's cmyk). If one side of the paper is printed, this is referred to as 4C/0C. If both sides are printed, we refer to it as 4C/4C. We can also do just 4C/1C if your primary inside color is black. Alternately if you are not printing in cmyk but prefer pantone inks, we can substitute 2PMS colors instead of 4C cmyk.

    One other fun trick with PIPS is printing behind the pocket, like this secret message:
