Or if you basically know what you want to manufacture but you are looking for some fun twists, check out these custom packaging photos from our titles for some good ideas.
Because nothing we do is off-the-shelf, we can customize everything. For instance, if we don’t have a die for the packaging you want to create already, we can make you one. Please feel free to pick and choose features you like for multiple titles. Once you know what you want to make, reach out to us for a manufacturing quote!
Please note minimum order size and media requirements.Because commercial presses have set up costs involved, they are only suitable for larger quantity runs.

Deluxe Box Sets are rigid boxes that we make to showcase your collection such as multiple discs, books, mixed media, or whatever you would like the boxes to hold. Think: Cigar Box Options….

Jackets are truly remarkable because they can be die cut in any shape or size, and they can have many combinations of features. Think: Versatile, Custom
Any Size, Dimension, or Shape such as Cross Shapes, Letters, 3D Pop Up Paks.
In addition, you can play with Paper Stocks (recycled, matte, fiberboard, uncoated, etc), finishes, and thicknesses.
Also customize the Pockets, add Business Card Slots, or Photo Holders.
CD or Vinyl LPs If you like retro, then these are for you! We studied our vintage and as a result, we make these just like they used to. Think: BlueNote, vintage, retro
CD LPs can be single or double disc but pockets generally face outward.
Booklets can be placed in pockets or you can make it more book like with built-in inner pages.
Inner Sleeves can be solid black or printed and consider also a center die cut hole.
Vinyl Album Size to hold a Record.
12 Inch Size to hold a collection such as records, discs, books, booklets, posters, cards, etc.
Choose from a 4C wrapped and laminated LP, or similarly wrapped with linen or leather vinyl.
Multidisc Sets are made to hold any number of discs and other items too, such as books, notebooks, posters, business cards, and other media. Features that you might want to consider, such as: Think: Sets
Most importantly, do you want individual volumes or , in contrast one big set?
Secondly, do you know the Height?
Next, determine all items the set needs to hold, such as Media (type and qty), and paper items such as Books, Booklet or Poster, Inner Pages, Photos, Art Cards, etc. Also, things like USBs, Download Cards or other Retail Items.
Also, factors like retail presence, lightweight, eco friendly, or special printing features.
USBs usually like to be cushioned in foam or held in place with cardboard because they are somewhat bulky and require some depth in the packaging. Because we have creative clients, we also have creative USBs and ways to hold them. Think: chunky USBs.
USB Boxes can be any size but 5×5 is very popular with our clients. Although we encourage clients to think outside the box, USB boxes remain the top choice.
Because USBs are a little chunky, we like to use Foam Wells that are custom cut for the USB we are manufacturing for you.
Cardboard Wells can also be made to hold USBs securely.
And of course you can add lots of items to a USB package including discs, cards, and books.
LCD Video Panels Not only do they play the video and menu that we program into it, but the best part is that the video can be changed! These are somewhat expensive, but the minimum order is significantly less than other media. Think: cutting edge promotional, high-end, deluxe, educational
Video Panels range from 4.3 to 10 inches, because this is an important cost factor, we usually start with screen size first.
The panels are embedded in packaging such as a 4pp brochure or a custom made box, so the type of packaging is what we want to determine next.
Buttons are custom programmed to a menu so the user can select video options.
Video can also be re-uploaded and changed via the USB port.
