Digipak’s are designed to have the most available displaying space without the bulk; Digipak’s were first designed to be more economically friendly in production and after use than its predecessor the ABS and Acrylic case.
The standard digipak has 6 panels that can be easily displayed on, three on the inside and three on the outside. Atleast one of the inside panels must contain space for the disk, whether its an Acrylic disk fixing or a sleeve.
The Radiohead Album ‘In Rainbows’ was produced in a digipak format containing various items such as an album cover, album artwork, and other added extras. The disk comes in a separate card sleeve decorated with the artwork of the cover. This album is not the standard kind of digipak so when we come to creating our own album, we can look at various shapes and sizes of professional digipaks in order to help us make an informed and creative outcome.
