Jewel cases
Name | Rarity | Description | Image |
Jewel case | Very common | the most common packaging for a cd. three pieces - back, tray and front. the spine is part of the back cover which goes between the back and tray | here |
Slim jewel case | Very common | common for singles. two pieces, back and front. the spine is part of the front cover (which is L-shaped, like a normal cassette case). | here |
Super jewel box | Increasingly common | improved type of jewel case. rounded corners. can have spines on all four edges. more common for recent releases (sizes: cd-size, dvd-size, also one between the two) |
- alt slim case
- similar to a normal slim case, except hinged like a normal jewel case. since it's still only two pieces, there's no back cover and hence no spine. really annoying and thankfully not too common.
- double jewel case
- twice the width of a normal jewel case and opens on both sides. a lot of playstation games used similar cases.
Sleeves
Name | Rarity | Description | Image |
Paper sleeve | ? | like a cardboard sleeve but made of paper, often with a plastic window | here |
Cardboard sleeve | ? | square piece of card into which the cd is put directly | |
Plastic sleeve | ? | like a cardboard sleeve but made of plastic |
- double cardboard sleeve
- a single cardboard sleeve inside another cardboard sleeve. not sure how common it is, seems to be more common for commercial stuff, maybe because it offers more protection than a single cardboard sleeve.
- mini-lp
- a pouch (for want of a better word) with a piece of card which folds over the front. the cd itself is in a papery/plasticky dust shield thing
- sizes: jewel case sized, square jewel case height (narrower than jewel case), square jewel case width (taller than jewel case)
Digipaks
Name | Rarity | Description | Image |
Digipak | Very common for special editions | folding card with plastic trays (sizes: cd-size, dvd-size) | 4 panel, 6 panel |
jp 8cm | Very common for older Japanese singles | as wide as an 8cm cd and twice as high. it's a piece of card with a piece of plastic stuck to one side. i don't have that many, but this was the standard packaging for a japanese single before they switched to normal 12cm cds in 2000 or so | here |
Digibook | ? | similar to a digipak, except made of hard card shaped like a book |
Others
Name | Rarity | Description | Image |
Keep case | Very common for DVDs | soft plastic thing. ridiculously common for dvds | 4 panel |
