Mini LPs (Retro Jackets with Spines) with CD Replication

CD Mini LP with extra wide spine - printed inner sleeve.

Retro Mini LPJackets

Also perfect for your CD Single or Promotional CD. These are fully printed jackets, made with an extra wide spine and LP style features. This allows two great things - 1) You can easily add inserts & booklets, and 2) the printing on the spine gives the title extra visibility. You might also note that this package is very cost effective (our #1 suggestion for projects that need cost effective solutions) and lightweight (for mailing!). You can also get your Mini LP in 4-panel ... remember the double album?

You'll be within budget, consider some fun printing effects:
Fiberboard Paper Stock, or Recycled Content (for that organic look, or because you can)
Coated or Uncoated Paper (glossy & matte effects)
Embossing (raised relief like the big movie title releases)
Hot Foil stamping (for shiny elements guaranteed to catch the eye)
Metallic inks (silver metallic for the iron works look)
Die cut windows (for an irresistible peak)

Consider also using a clear substrate CD if your title is small in content, such as a CD Single. Clear Substrate CDs are very inexpensive an add a WOW impact for a truly unique product.

Go vintage!
