Professional Packaging for Your Release
A Digipak combines a professionally printed card outer with one or more disc trays, creating a strong visual presentation without relying on a traditional plastic jewel case.
The larger printable area gives you more freedom to work with album artwork, photography, lyrics, credits and branding. Depending on the format, your design can flow across four, six, eight or ten printed panels.
At Rush Media Print, we offer established Digipak layouts together with configurations featuring booklet slots, tunnel pockets and multiple disc trays.

Matt, Gloss, Spot Lamination & Foiling
The finishing you choose can make a big difference to how the final packaging looks and feels.
Matt lamination gives the outer packaging a smooth, understated appearance with reduced reflection. It works especially well with photography, darker artwork and designs that benefit from a softer, premium feel.
Gloss lamination creates a brighter, more reflective finish that can add extra impact to colour-rich and high-contrast artwork.
For a more distinctive result, we can also offer spot lamination, allowing selected areas of the artwork to stand out with a contrasting finish, and foiling options for adding metallic detail to elements such as logos, titles or key design features.
These specialist finishes are ideal for premium, deluxe and collector-style releases where the packaging itself is an important part of the presentation.
Booklets, Pockets & Multiple Discs
Selected formats can include additional disc trays, booklet slots and tunnel pockets. Printed booklets are useful for lyrics, detailed credits, photography, liner notes and other content that cannot comfortably fit on the panels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Digipak?
A Digipak is a printed card-based package that normally uses one or more plastic disc trays to hold the discs securely. Compared with a conventional jewel case, the card panels provide more continuous space for artwork, photography and printed information.
What is the difference between a Digipak and a jewel case?
A jewel case mainly consists of a rigid plastic case with printed paper inserts. A Digipak uses a printed card outer with an attached tray, giving the artwork a more integrated appearance and allowing a wider choice of panel layouts.
How many panels can I choose?
Rush Media Print offers 4, 6, 8 and 10 panel Digipak options. The best format depends on the amount of artwork, number of discs and whether you want to include a booklet.
Can a Digipak hold more than one CD?
Yes. Multiple-disc configurations are available. A 4 panel package can accommodate up to two discs, a 6 panel configuration can accommodate up to three, and an 8 panel package can hold up to four depending on the selected layou
Can I include a booklet?
Yes. Selected layouts are available with booklet slots or tunnel pockets, allowing a printed booklet to be included inside the package.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum quantities depend on the format. Selected Digipak options are available from 50 units, while specialist 8 panel and 10 panel formats are available from 100 units.
Do you provide artwork templates?
What resolution should my artwork be?
Prepare print artwork at 300 dpi in CMYK and use the template supplied for your chosen configuration. Keep important text and design elements within the indicated safe area and extend backgrounds into the bleed.
Will you check my artwork?
Yes. Artwork checking is included. If an issue is identified that may affect printing or finishing, it can be raised before the job proceeds.
Can you help if I need an unusual Digipak layout?
