Conventions of Digipaks
Basic Information:
The outer packaging is made of paper and the inner packaging is made of plastic.
They are less durable than regular CD cases.
They are collectible and are often used for special edition or 'deluxe' albums, for example if the album featured extra 'bonus' tracks.
They became popular in the early 2000s.
Digipaks are made to fold into a square shape and can have varying numbers of panels, but the most popular is 6 panels. The front panels often feature the artist or album art, as well as the title of the album and are made to attract the target audience because this is what they will see first. The back panel often has a tracklist. The inside of the digipak will then offer additional information, but cannot be seen until the album is opened. Usually, the inside panels feature personal messages from the artist or song lyrics as well as more photography. Although the plastic CD holder will cover one panel, they are usually made from clear plastic so that another piece of album art can be displayed behind it.
