Packaging & Printing Costs for an Album

Video Transcript

"Duplication and packaging are two other elements that you'll have to consider when you're making your budget. Now there primarily are two different kinds currently of CD packaging that you can look at. The first is the traditional jewel case which is plastic and usually has a hinge on it here just by - you can see the inside of this guy here - two little bumps there essentially hinging on this bottom piece. Now these are very inexpensive but they also break very easily and often times you'll see a shatter through the front cover. Maybe you'll see it in the reflection there. So they're not very sturdy but they are very inexpensive. Now as far as this time, this would be more of a booklet type where it's all made out of one piece of cardboard. Now it's more expensive, however, it looks a little bit better and it's much more sturdy. It won't shatter. It won't break. It's not going to rip apart unless you put a lot of energy into it. So the difference between the two really has to do with your cost and also the presentation that you want to give the album that you're trying to promote here."
