CD Artwork Design - We offer an artwork design and layout service for £25 per hour. Just provide us with your photos/scans, text and ideas and we will turn it into an attractive, professional looking package.


Obviously each job is different and it depends on how complicated your requirements are, but for a typical fairly straightforward job with inlay, back card and on body print, a couple of hours will probably be enough.

...Or we can use your artwork.
So long as it is the correct size with 3mm bleed and saved as a JPEG or TIFF, we can import it directly into our templates and print from it, at no extra cost.
The most common problems are artwork size / bleed not fitting templates (eg : text on the edges gets chopped off) and JPEG files being saved at too low a resolution so the quality is not very good. An easy way of checking this is for you to print out what you will be sending us so you can see what it looks like before you actually send it off.

Standard album case ("jewel box")
Clear plastic case - usually comes with a 2 or 4 page inlay, back card and black CD tray. However, you'll need a clear CD tray if you're having a double sided back card - Please remember to specify this when ordering.

Slimline ("Single") CD case
Usually used for CD singles, but no reason why you can't use it for albums too. Approximately half the thickness of the standard jewel box, with built in moulded black tray, so it doesn't require a backcard. Front inlay card is the same size as for a standard jewel box.

Double Slimline CD case
Virtually the same size as a standard jewel box, with built in clear CD tray for housing two discs. Inlay and back card are also the same size as for a standard jewel box
