CD covers and cases are not just CD labels or boxes to store the CD in. They are this and much more. CD covers are a powerful marketing tool for audio and video CD manufacturers. An audio CD cover demonstrates an artist’s persona.
Many CD covers have come to be immortalized over the years. Most of these have used more than just pretty art with a label. Even if you are not looking at marketing your CD, a good CD cover makes your collection more attractive, and if you are giving the CD in an endearing cover, it adds a truly personal touch.
When you think of CDs, you think of the whole package: the case, the cover, the tray card, and the disc. The cover, obviously, is what you see on top of the CD. The tray card is the sheet of paper placed between the back cover of the case and the CD tray. If your CD tray is transparent, you will have to opt for a two-sided tray card; otherwise, a single-sided one will do. The CD case, on its part, acts as a safe, dust-free storage place for the disc.
CD manufacturing and replicating companies can either print mono-color line art on the CD cover, or full-color images. If you are getting a CD manufactured, you can suggest a graphic you have in mind for the CD cover. Specialized software is used to produce CD covers, as they are fixed in dimension and quality.
Most music CDs have the artist’s photo on the cover. Special photo shoots are conducted for CD covers. Some people are more creative and use abstract art or images that add a metaphorical touch to their album cover.
With CDs becoming the primary storage device for all data and music, CD covers have become important for brand recognition. The originality of a CD cover makes it more popular and definitely more saleable.
