Magnetic CD or DVD Jacket Packaging- it's a Snap!

Are you also looking for really unique disc packaging that'll astound your users? Are you looking for a simple way to keep your CD or DVD jacket closed? Well, look no further! With magnetic closure, we insert a set of hidden magnets in the panels so that the jacket snaps closed. It's a pretty neat trick.

Extra heavy fiberboard stock and a foam hub keeps 'em guessing!

The first thing people say when they see it is "Wow! Magnetic! But where's the magnet?"

Our magnetic closing jackets are made from extra heavy, laminated board. The inner layer has a special cavity for the strong little magnets, so there's no telltale bump to give it away. The heavy board also gives the panels a lot of stiffness, so it's just hard to really tell where it's happening. Many people think it's the "magic hub" that also holds the disc. The special (and totally optional) receiver hole on the opposite panel reinforces the illusion. There's nothing "magic" about the hub, it's just an ordinary foam hub—the same hub we use on all our foam hub eco jackets.

We can use either strong magnets, that make quite a thunk when the jacket is closed, or a weaker magnet that closes more softly. The weaker magnets are a bit less expensive, if you are budget conscious.

Jackets can be made in any size. This is an example of a DVD height (approx 7 inch) jacket:

We made this title extra big and wide:

Should you want to do a fun shape, that's an option too!

The magnets are actually hidden inside the panels, and as long as the magnets are a couple of heavy board thicknesses apart from each other, the package closes with a satisfying "snap.". Foam hub packaging construction, which uses a solid double-wall (the inside panels are folded in and glued), works best.

Pockets can work too, as long as they work with the location of the magnet. Paper or Plastic Trays are another option, but because of the thickness of the tray, we may need to think outside of the box, and add a plumped up panel with one of the magnets hidden.
