Professional CD Cover Printing

Looking to do it yourself? If you are careful you can save, if not you can spend more and waste your time. When it comes to printing your CD covers for jewel cases or sleeves save your ink and your time! Printing your own simply CD covers with an inkjet printer could cost over $1.50 per packaged CD. The time spent separating the front and back cover from the paper is sure to test anyone patience. Your time is worth more than that!

We specialize in short run CD cover printing at affordable prices. While we do offer affordable runs of 1000 or more covers, you can buy a minimum of 50 front CD covers for under $20.00. You can get 50 one sided back covers for a standard jewel case for under $25.00. With low prices like that you can save your cash for other important things.

All our short run CD covers are printed on quality smooth coated gloss stock. We use a standard 100lb gloss book paper (an industry standard on commercial CD releases) for all our printing. If you are choosing a single sheet for the front cover (2-panel insert) we use a sturdy 80lb gloss cover stock. Our short run covers are printed exclusively with high end Xerox equipment. These commercial printers are far beyond the price point of consumers and allow us to produce quality printing at a low cost.

2 Panel Insert (Front Cover) The 2 panel CD cover is 4.75 x 4.75 inches in the finished size. It is not folded and printed on both sides. We print both sides in color. The insert is commonly used as the cover and inside liner notes inside standard and slim jewel cases. The 2 panel can also be used in a clear vinyl sleeve as the front cover. Though a 4 panel is better for clear sleeves.
4 Panel Insert (Front Cover) The 4 panel CD cover is 4.75 x 9.5 inches in the finished size and is folded in half. We print both sides in color. The insert is commonly used as the cover and a removable booklet that allows you to fit in some lyrics in addition to your liner notes. This also fits in the front of a standard and slim jewel case. The 4 panel can also be used in a clear vinyl sleeve as the front and back cover. This is an affordable way to get out demo CDs.
6 Panel Insert (Front Cover) The 6 panel CD cover is 4.75 x 14.20 inches in the flat size and is folded twice (called a tri-fold or roll fold). We print both sides in color. The insert is commonly used as the cover and a removable booklet that allows you to fit in more information and provides a look that is closer to a commercial CD. The 6 panel fits nicely inside the front of a standard and slim jewel case.
CD Tray Card Inlay (Back Cover) CD Tray cards are used as the back cover of a standard CD jewel Case. The CD Tray card folds up on the spines and usually have a perforation for an easy bend (all our tray inlays are perforated.) Generally they are printed one side when they are placed underneath the CD tray that holds the CD itself. The CD tray is generally a black opaque plastic so you cannot see the blank side of the tray inlay. However you can get a tray inlay printed on both sides and place it under a clear CD tray to hold the CD. Commercial CDs generally come with a two sided tray inlay and a clear CD tray.
