Sleeve Packs
Sleeve packs, which are also known as digisleeves, are similar to the profile packs. The difference is that in profile packs, the discs are inserted into special insertion pouches (half of the disc is inserted in the cardboard, the other half remains visible), while with the sleeve packs, the discs are inserted into pouches (the disc disappears completely behind the cardboard). Sleeve packs are frequently used for advertising material with an enclosed disc.
Sleeve packs can be ordered from 1,000 items. There is currently only one standard size: the small CD version.
Depending on the quantity of the discs to be held and the scope of text and images that are to be printed on the packaging, you can choose between different versions: 4-page (2-part), 6-page (3-part), 8-page (4-part), 10-page (5-part) or 12-page (6-part) with insertion pouches for up to twelve discs.
The paper is normally printed 4/0-coloured on one side, then folded and stuck together, such that the visible surfaces are printed in the end. Only the inside pages, which hold the trays, remain white. If you would also like these printed, the unfolded paper is printed 4/4-coloured on both sides, before it is folded and stuck together.
Furthermore, there are different ways to add other printed matter, such as e.g. booklets: slotted (a horizontal incision covers approx. 30% of the booklet behind the cardboard, the rest remains visible), sleeve (a vertical opening on the inside; the booklet disappears completely behind the cardboard) or pocket (a slanting booklet holder; half of the booklet is inserted into the pouch, the other half remains visible).
To add the final touches, there are plenty of additional options, e.g. glossy or matt overpaint, partial or spot paint (matt or glossy only on individual parts for special effects), embossed printing (indentation or enhancement), silver or gold hot foil stamping for glossy effects, sparkly paint for girly or fairy tale titles, 3D tilted images, to really catch the eye!
