CD Packaging: Quick Q&A About Music Packaging
Will a creative CD packaging lure customers to buy my CD?
Hmmm%u2026 I will answer that question with another question. Will a beautiful dress make a woman more appealing? The answer is yes, right? But she has to offer something more before you ask her on a real date. A Creative CD packaging draws people's attention and makes us consider buying the album but it still requires a good push before we actually bring it to the counter.
A creative CD packaging can get our attention but it may not convince us too much to the point that we'll actually buy the album. But the first reason alone is enough to convince us that a Creative CD packaging is indeed very important. Before people would even think of buying the product, they have to notice it first. And that's what a Creative CD packaging do best-getting attention.
And besides, a creative CD packaging will definitely boost you and your band's ego.
Okay, okay. I am convinced. Now tell me how I should do it.
Well, we do not have whole day so let me just give you some quick tips in making a creative CD packaging. Number one, there is no hard rule for making a creative CD packaging. Some say that you have to incorporate your music or band image to your CD packaging but that is not necessary. Some of the most creative CD packaging have nothing to so with the songs or the musicians at all. You just have to open your mind and do not limit your design to your genre, to your band image, to your influences.
It helps a lot if you study some Creative CD packaging . There are many sites dedicated to CD and LP packaging. You can analyze what makes a CD packaging stand-out, what composition looks good, what fonts look good, which ones to avoid, and many others.
Wow! So%u2026 I can actually make my own creative CD packaging?
Of course! But you should know that graphic designing and art direction requires a whole course so you better be ready to study first and study fast (or have a good advisor) so you would know the basics of CD packaging and design. It's not simply putting a picture and a good copy together. It's so much more if you're aiming for a Creative CD packaging . And of course, you need to know by heart all the editing software or else you'll just have a migraine. So my suggestion is this, have a clear picture of what you want in your creative CD packaging, explain it clearly and vividly to your graphic artist, and let him do his thing.
Geez. I'd rather hire someone than go through all that hassle.
Exactly.
What if I do not have big money to spend on my CD packaging? Are there ways for me to cut-down my costs?
Plenty. First, instead of hiring a high-rate designer, you can contact student designers or fresh graduates who are willing to design for a very low rate (or even for free) just to beautify their portfolio. If you really have a tight budget, you also have to inform your designer so he would know his limitations in designing your creative CD packaging. Then, it might help if you work backwards. When conceptualizing your design, look for materials that you already have that you might find useful and think of ways you can use it in your design.
There are lots of other tips and tricks in our blog that you might find useful. Take some time to read them before you start conceptualizing your CD artwork. Good luck!

CD Packaging and DVD Packaging
Do you want your CD to stand out and I mean really stand out from the sea of CDs? Then maybe you should have a Custom CD packaging instead of having a regular jewel case for your album. Having a custom CD packaging is probably the best way to catch people's attention. Manufacturing a custom CD packaging may not be cheap and easy, but it will certainly do the trick. When you place your custom CD packaging beside a sea of boring jewel cases, you know which one gets the most attention.
Let me explain. When we shop in the malls, our eyes are browsing really quickly. Since we are in a hurry and many things are screaming for our attention at once, we don't notice anything bland and uninteresting. The consumer's eyes are so used to seeing jewel cases and other cardboard packaging that your unique Custom CD packaging would instantly draw them in even when they are in a hurry.
What I love most about having custom CD packaging is that you will have a lot of creative freedom. You are not confined on the number of CD panels and the dimensions so you can go as crazy as you want%u2026well, depending on the budget of course. You should check out more Custom CD packaging online so you'd get more inspired-there are those packaging that resemble an amplifier, those that are made of cloth, those that are in pizza boxes, and many others.
So I guess you are now pretty convinced. The next thing you should know is how to get Custom CD packaging.
CD manufacturing. Most CD Manufacturing companies accept Custom CD packaging projects. The budget and the turnaround time depend on the availability and the price of the materials used. Some could take a few weeks before reproduction, some could take months. Custom CD packaging is not a very simple project and it requires a lot of research, tinkering and brainstorming by you and the CD Manufacturing company. Like all great things, Custom CD packaging requires more patience and creativity.
Cost. If you are rich and you do not care much about money, then you have all the liberty in the world to create elaborate designs but if you are like everyone else, then custom CD packaging could be quite a challenge budget-wise. The cost of custom CD packaging also depends on the materials that you choose. So if you are in a tight budget, yet you want to create a unique CD packaging, you must consider the materials above anything else when you are brainstorming for the design. Custom CD design when you are in a tight budget requires that you work backwards. Look for available, inexpensive materials in the market first and try to come up with great designs using these materials.
Considerations. Anyone can be creative but it requires a lot of creativity to work within the box. When you have constraints and limitations and you can still pull-off a kick-ass CD packaging, then you are a genius. When designing your Custom CD packaging, you should consider the weigh. You are going to ship hundreds of CDs to different parts of the world and you do not want your fans to get discouraged by the price of shipping. Another thing to consider is the shape. Choose regular shapes instead of complicated ones so it would be easier to store and ship them.
Being unique has its rewards. Either others praise you for it or hate you for it but what is more important is the pride of knowing that you are wonderful enough to make something different.
