Slipcases for CDs and DVDs / Slipcase Box Sets
Dimensions, Thumbnotches, Construction, Materials, StyleNo matter what product we are making for you, we can easily create a slipcase for it. Single unit slipcases help present a title and give it value (not to mention the fun you can have with effects!). Slipcases for multi-disc sets serve to bundle items together into one box set, providing a single, wide spine for titling.
Slipcase Versus Box:
We tend to define a slipcase as a paper stock enclosure (usually 15/16pt+) that goes around the inner packaging such as digipaks or jackets. The slipcase is usually collapsible. Slipcases can be made tube style, one spine exposed, or fully enclosed like a box. We also have rigid boxes, which are not collapsible.
Custom Made - any Dimension
These are made to order, but there are some popular sizes. We'll show you those below. 5"/cd, 7" dvd, tall jacket 7 - 9 inch, megatall 10".
We can make these to fit any type of inner packaging - jewelcases, amaray cases, digipaks, books, albums, jackets, and so forth.
Thumbnotches:
With or without thumbnotches is fine, we'll let you know if we have the die or if we can make it for a nominal cost. In most cases, slipcases are custom dimension so the thumbnotch is no charge as it is a new die.
Style - Tube style, one spine open, box style enclosed, open left, right, top or bottom
Construction: single wall or Double Wall
Materials - Full Color Paper Stock, Special Paper stocks like Fiberboard, special materials like linen and leather vinyl

Very Tall Slipcases 10 inch Height MegaTall Digipaks

Flattened Slipcases - Ready for Shipping
Although it is not our preference, we can make you just the slipcases, in case you are adding on to another already made product. We will need exact measurements, or if the inner packaging is a standard item like a jewel case or dvd amaray case with no other items, we can calculate it for you. To ship these, we simply flatten them. No glue or tap is needed for these type of slipcases as they readily collapse.

Box Sets CD & Vinyl made with Chipboard, Rigid & Non Collapsible
This client did monthly releases of their albums & art cards, but had us create a box set in advance of all the albums being done. Because the box cannot be collapsed, and all the products were not made yet, we needed to create a foam filler to protect the box during shipping.

Leather Material Box Sets
Leather Material (vinyl) is another popular box set material. If we make all the components inside, it is easy to ship. Although this type of construction is not strictly collapsible, we have found a special way to make them that involves peel and stick tape assembly, in case you need just the box.

Add Die Cut Window Slipcases - Shapes, Letters
You can choose any design — tube, box, top-load, side-load - and single walled or double (lined).
Height is usually 5 inch or 7.5 inch for Tall digipaks or Widescreen digipaks, but can also be 10 inch for Mega Tall digipaks, and can have custom widths, too.
Don't be afraid to ask about adding diecut windows to your slipcase. We do it all the time.

Slipcases Printed Inside? — Double-Wall Construction

Adding Slipcases to a Hard bound CD / DVD Books
Some products, like linen and leather, cannot be full color printed so a good add on is a slipcase to add that color. Hardbound books are already rigid, so a lighter weight slipcase is often a good match.

Add Matte Lamination and Spot UV Gloss to the Slip Case
Add Matte Lamination or Spot Gloss:
Matte lamination adds a beautiful "vellum like" quality to your slipcase. Ever see the box Apple puts their iPhones in? That's matte lamination. Add spot UV Gloss over the matte lam and you have a really top notch look. -
Adding Foil and Other Effects to Slipcases
Foil is always a striking effect on packaging, and don't forget about embossing, debossing, and spot gloss.

Fiberboard Slipcases - Change up the Paper Stock
Try using a fiberboard paper stock for a different look and feel:
We don't discriminate against the, um, dead? Do *not* ask for a close up of that one. But taste aside – ew, sorry- it’s a fantastic looking title with a fiberboard slipcase. Even has spot gloss on entrails…EW!!!!! Sorry again.)
