Digipaks

A digipak is a patented style of compact CD or DVD cover. Digipaks consist of a paperboard or card stock outer binding. digipak packaging is typically used for CD singles or special additions of CD albums.

Although less vulnerable to cracking than a jewel case, the disc tray inside the package (particularly the "teeth" of the hub which secure the disc in place) remains rather brittle and is prone to cracking if the package is crushed. Digipak-style cases grew in popularity among record labels and recording artists in the early 2000s.
