Artwork for CDs and CD-Rs 
CD Artwork refers to the paper parts that are included in the CD box. This usually comprises a booklet (which can be anything from 4 pages upwards), and an insert, which goes into the back of the box behind the CD.
There are two processes by which we create these paper parts:
DESKTOP PRINTED
The booklets and inlays for desktop printed artwork are generally quite simple designs that can be quickly printed on our desktop printer. It is a cost effective way to package your CD with more than a simple Sprint inlay (text only), but without going to manufacture.
- Max of 4 pages (4 colour outside and monochrome inside)
- 4 colour single sided inlay
- We can enhance a simple Sprint inlay with, for example, a photograph, or create something more elaborate.
- Ideal for short runs, no order too small.
- Limited graphics
- 720 dpi inkjet printed – choice of papers
- Fast turnaround
- Ideal for: demos/promos, archival, bespoke
We have a CD desktop printer and can use aspects of you design to print onto the CDs themselves (on-body printing).
COMMERCIAL DESIGN & PRINT
The booklets and inlays for Commercial Design and Print Artwork can be as simple or elaborate as you require. This service is only available with manufactured discs (or extended runs of CD-R duplication), with a minimum print run of 1000. Our experienced designer will create a look for your CD, which considers all page combinations, shapes and sizes.
