CD Covers

Our custom CD covers are printed to fit standard jewel cases exactly, with finished panels measuring 4.75" x 4.75". Folded inserts are also available in several flat formats, ranging from 9.5" x 4.75" up to 33.25" x 4.75" for multi-panel layouts.

We offer coated text stocks from 70 lb to 120 lb in gloss or matte, plus card stocks ranging from 12 pt to 18 pt. Stapled booklets also include a 120 lb uncoated offset option, giving you flexibility for both lightweight inserts and sturdier covers.

All of our CD covers and inserts are printed in full color on both the front and back as standard, at no extra charge. This lets you use the reverse side for tracklists, credits, artwork, or any additional branding your project requires.

Folded covers are available with aqueous coating or film lamination in either matte or gloss, applied to both sides. Please note that film lamination is only available with card stock covers. These finishes help protect your print while enhancing its look and feel.

For stapled booklets, the cover finish is determined by the selected paper stock and cannot be chosen separately.

Yes, we provide free downloadable templates with the correct bleed and safe-zone settings for every CD product. A 0.1" bleed is required on all four edges, including bound inside edges, and our guidelines clearly mark margins to keep text and key elements safely positioned.

Folded CD covers and inserts have a minimum order quantity of 100 units and can be ordered in quantities up to 50,000. CD booklets (stapled) have a minimum order quantity of 50 units. The product configurator will display the available quantity options for your selected product and specifications.

Our pricing is tiered, so the per-unit cost drops significantly as volume increases, up to 50,000 units. For labels, agencies, and recurring B2B orders, you can request a custom PDF quote, and our team is happy to discuss pricing tailored to larger or repeat runs.

We recommend print-ready PDF files set in CMYK color mode for accurate, consistent results. RGB files can shift unexpectedly on press, so converting to CMYK beforehand is important. Our automated preflight system checks each upload and flags color-space issues before your order proceeds.

A digital PDF proof is available as an optional paid service before production begins. In addition, our prepress team manually checks every B2B artwork file for bleed, color space, and alignment before printing. If you’d like to evaluate our paper stocks before ordering, you can also request a free sample kit.

Every CD cover, insert, and booklet is printed to the exact specifications of a standard jewel case, with 4.75" square finished panels. This ensures your printed pieces slot in cleanly without trimming or adjustment, ready for professional packaging and distribution.

Turnaround depends on your production speed and shipping choice. We offer Eco, Standard, and Rush production tiers, alongside shipping options including Standard (4–5 business days), 3-Day Select, and 2nd Day Air. The configurator displays an estimated delivery date before you check out.

Registered customers can select blind or neutral shipping during checkout. When this option is chosen, your order is shipped without ChilliPrinting branding, and the shipping label displays your billing address as the sender instead of ours. Please note that blind shipping is not available for guest users.
