- Digipak is a type of packaging for CDs or DVDs, typically made from cardboard with an internal plastic holder for one or more discs and is a registered trademark of AGI-Shorewood, an Atlas Holdingds LLC company.
Digipacks can flip open like a book, or it can have three parts, so that one portion of the packaging opens to the right and one to the left, with the CD in the center portion. Usually, the portion of the digipack that hold the CD is made of plastic like a traditional jewel case CD - the plastic part is simply attached to the paper background.
Since DigiPaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packagaing made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media is a hub or "soft spot" rather than a full plastic tray.
Digipak-Style packaging if often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Such packagaing is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, so it tends to convey signs of wear relativley quickly. Licensed digipak manufactures such as domestic U.S printed and disc replication Oasis Disc Manufacturing recommend coating the raw printed paper with a protective UV coating, thus ensuring greater longevity.
