Ever since we promoted the CD digipak packaging for the music industry it has become our flagship #1 best seller. Digipaks are lighter than jewel cases, and they provide better protection to the CDs because of the less fragile design.
But what is a digibook?
A digibook is really a perfect bound book with a sleeve at the end to hold a CD. This is a perfect packaging solution when your booklet is more than 20 pages. When you have a thick booklet neither jewel case nor digipak will be a good solution because the booklet will be too difficult to be fit into a jewel case and too bulky for a digipak.

The hardcover of the digibook, about 3mm to 4mm thick, serves as a good protection to both the CD and the booklet. You can have the option to choose semi-glossy, matte, and super glossy paper stock. Because digibook is quite unique when compared with other packaging options, our clients tend to use digibook as a high end collectible item.
Price for a digibook depends on the number of pages for the booklet. As a reference, a 36-page digibook will cost at the $5.00 range, including the CD.
An open digibook
This looks like a perfect bound book to me and I think it’s a great idea. I have a booklet with over 50 pages and that will overkill a traditional jewel case. Digibook works for me and I am glad to have found this.
