They Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CD packaging is not a single format. The type of insert you choose <strong>shapes how your audience receives the album<\/strong>, so it helps to know what your options are before you commit to a design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Booklets_and_multi-page_inserts\"><\/span>Booklets and multi-page inserts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/printing-products\/cd-covers\/cd-booklets\/\">standard CD booklet<\/a> fits inside the front of a jewel case and typically runs <strong>anywhere from 4 to 24 pages.<\/strong> This format gives you enough space to include lyrics, production credits, photography, liner notes, and personal messages to fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, artists who want to build a <strong>richer narrative around their music<\/strong> often choose booklets precisely because the format does not force them to compress everything onto one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Single-sheet_tray_cards\"><\/span>Single-sheet tray cards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tray card sits at the back of the jewel case, beneath the disc. It shows the&nbsp;<strong>track listing, any barcode or catalog information<\/strong>, and often a secondary visual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it&#8217;s a smaller canvas, but it&#8217;s always visible from the outside through the case spine, which makes it a key part of the packaging customers see on a shelf or in a record shop display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digipak_and_wallet_inserts\"><\/span>Digipak and wallet inserts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/printing-products\/cd-covers\/cd-inserts\/\">Digipak formats<\/a> use a cardstock sleeve rather than a plastic jewel case. They often include glued-in pockets, fold-out panels, or separate insert booklets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Above all, these formats <strong>feel more premium and are popular<\/strong> with independent artists who want packaging that stands apart from mass-market releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-d0511252 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-middle info-box-background-color\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M480 179.6C498.6 188.4 512 212.1 512 240C512 267.9 498.6 291.6 480 300.4V448C480 460.9 472.2 472.6 460.2 477.6C448.3 482.5 434.5 479.8 425.4 470.6L381.7 426.1C333.7 378.1 268.6 352 200.7 352H192V480C192 497.7 177.7 512 160 512H96C78.33 512 64 497.7 64 480V352C28.65 352 0 323.3 0 288V192C0 156.7 28.65 128 64 128H200.7C268.6 128 333.7 101 381.7 53.02L425.4 9.373C434.5 .2215 448.3-2.516 460.2 2.437C472.2 7.39 480 19.06 480 32V179.6zM200.7 192H192V288H200.7C280.5 288 357.2 317.8 416 371.3V108.7C357.2 162.2 280.5 192 200.7 192V192z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Pro Printing Tip!<\/p><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Body<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Did You Know?<\/strong><br>Standard CD booklets are <strong>printed at 4.724 x 4.724 inches<\/strong> to fit a standard jewel case.

It becomes a physical touchpoint that extends your digital marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labels working across multiple releases can also <strong>use a consistent design language<\/strong> across their catalog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When inserts share visual elements, fonts, or layout conventions, packaging becomes part of the label&#8217;s brand identity.
