Page 2: Digipaks: Forms and Conventions:

What is a Digipak? What is the purpose? A digipak is a type of

packaging for CDs and DVDs. It will usually be made out of plastic with multiple holders allowing for multiple discs.

To promote an album. To list the content of the

album. To use corporate identity

of the band/artist as a recurring theme.

To use art/images to express a message.

To attract not just fans, but a wider audience.
