Design a CD booklet to put into your jewel case.

If you have a CD to promote, whether it's a promotional video for a business or a music CD for sale to fans, it's a smart idea to design a CD booklet. The booklet contains a cover to attract attention and content that describes what the listener or viewer can expect from the CD. A number of online services and software programs allow you design and in some cases print a booklet yourself. Once printed, you can then insert it into your CD jewel case.
