Digipak - What is it?

A digipak is a certain type of packaging, used by CDs/DVDs/BDs.

Digipak example

Digipaks carry discs within plastic trays, which are then placed inside a book-styled cardboard package.

Components of digipaks (in relation the the music industry) include:

• A list of songs on the disc
• A small booklet, which could hold a variety of information, which can be about:
• The artist
• Song lyrics
• Photos of the band/artist
• Other albums and songs
• A relevant picture, which is the component we will be focusing on

The picture on the digipak serves a variety of purposes.

It may be something of a signature, so that it becomes quickly associated with the artist. It may also attract a wider audience, depending on what is on the picture.
