Above are all of the Arctic Monkeys digipaks, both front cover and back cover to help us for inspiration on our digipak.  Digi paks have both their pros and cons, these are:

  • Digipacks can be more environmentally friendly than jewel cases because they can be made of recycled paper - however, they aren't always in fact made in this way.

  • They look nice, and many bands and labels like to use them for aesthetic reasons. The three section digipack sleeves opens up more design options because there is more room. However, they're more expensive than traditional liner notes and jewel cases.

  • The trays in digipacks break much more often then in jewel cases. There's not as much protection since the outer portion of made of paper, so the teeth that hold the CD in place crack and fall out easily.

  • Digipacks don't crack like jewel cases do, but they will rip and eventually the paper begins to peel apart and separate.
