I had a look on one of the official OCR websites for some help regarding my project, and I found a link to wikipedia, showing what a Digipack is.

A Digipack is essentially, a style of CD packeging, usually with a gatefold layout that is constructed using either paper or card. It is also a registered trademark of AGI world ltd. - http://www.linkedin.com/company/agi-world

It is commonly used for Singles, special edition albums or Dvd/CD releasing. it is used to give less abrasion than jewel cases, and it is recommended to coat the card or paper with a protective UV coating to make it last longer.

Digipacks have become popular recently due to the fact they are considered more enviromentally friendly than the conventional Jewel Case.

This is an example of a well designed digipack, it is very durable (being made of plastic) and suits the job very well, though it looks very plain and simple.





This is a digipack for Oasis. it has an effective design, featuring an acoustic guitar to signify that the album is "acoustic". It is foldable, so that it is the shape of as 2D square whilst folded, and looks as though it is made of cardboard.
