Sleeve, wallet or folder
| Single sleeve | One disc in a printed kraft or white card pocket; lightest option |
|---|---|
| Gatefold wallet | Folds open like a book; disc pocket inside, booklet slot opposite |
| Multi-disc wallet | Two to four pockets for box sets and multi-disc games |
| Disc folder with tray | A paperboard spine and a molded pulp or card disc hub |
| Disc mailer | Rigid card mailer that ships one disc without a jiffy bag |
Keeping the data side clean
Raw card is slightly abrasive, and a disc that slides in and out of an uncoated kraft pocket for a year picks up fine scuffs. For discs that will be played often we line the pocket with a smooth coated stock or add a thin paper inner sleeve. For a one-time install or a collector release that mostly sits on a shelf, plain kraft is fine.
The pocket opening is also cut slightly wider than the disc and finished with a thumb notch, so nobody has to pinch the playing surface to pull it out.
What a game release needs printed
- Front art, title and platform marking, laid out to the panel size of the chosen wallet.
- Age rating and content descriptor area, positioned where the rating board expects it.
- Spine text, readable on a shelf when the wallet is only a few millimeters thick.
- Back panel copy, system requirements or track list, barcode and publisher details.
- An insert or booklet slot when the release carries a manual, code card or poster.
Kraft, recycled and plastic-free
Most indie studios and labels moving off jewel cases want the whole pack to be paper, so it can go in household recycling. A kraft wallet with a card hub, no shrink wrap and a paper belly band for sealing gets there. If you want a seal that shows tampering in a shop, a printed band does it without film. For bigger game releases, see our printed board game boxes.
Shipping a disc on its own
A single disc in a soft envelope cracks the moment it is bent through a mail slot. The disc mailer is a stiff card folder that keeps the disc flat, with a peel-and-seal flap and a printable face for the address, so a store can send preorders and replacement discs without a separate box. Our collection of game packaging covers the rest of the range.
Tell us the number of discs, whether there is a booklet or code card, and whether it ships by mail or sits on a shelf. That picks the format.

On every job
- Print process
- The wrap is printed offset as a flat sheet and applied to the board, so the print quality is that of a sheet rather than a box.
- Color
- CMYK on the wrap with spot colors for a brand match. A textured or soft-touch wrap mutes a solid color slightly.
- Tolerance
- Board cut plus or minus 0.5 mm. Lid fit is set on a sample and held on the run, with an allowance for the delivery climate.
- Tooling
- No cutting die on the box itself. The tooling is the wrap print and any foil or emboss die, made once and kept.
- Food contact
- A food-grade liner or an inner tray where a rigid box holds unwrapped food.
- Sustainability
- Board and paper recycle together. Magnets, ribbon and foam come out first, and the spec says which the box has.
- Artwork
- Vector PDF or AI, 3 mm bleed, 4 mm safe area, fonts outlined. We check every file and send a proof before press.
- Dieline
- Supplied free with the quote, before you commit. Yours whether or not you order.
- Sample
- A plain unprinted sample at the finished size on request, for fit and construction.
- Reorders
- Skip the tooling and go straight to press at a lower unit price.
- Lead time
- Quoted with the price against your fill date rather than promised before we have seen the spec.
- Markets
- United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia — priced in the delivery currency, freight included.
Boards and films we build games cd dvd boxes on
A rigid box is two materials: the grayboard that holds the shape and the paper wrapped around it. The board decides the feel; the wrap decides everything a customer sees and touches.
Grayboard 1.2–1.5 mm
The light rigid box: jewelry, small cases, card boxes. Heavy in the hand for its size without thick walls on a small cavity.
1.2–1.5 mmGrayboard 2–3 mm
The full rigid box. Resists crushing, bends poorly — thickness is chosen from box size so a wide lid does not sag.
2–3 mmArt paper wrap
Printed coated paper, matte or gloss laminated. Full color, photographs, any design. The most flexible wrap and the least tactile.
128–157gsmSoft-touch wrap
A velvet-feel laminate over printed paper. Reads expensive, shows fingerprints on white, and scuffs at the corners before anywhere else.
128–157gsm laminatedLinen and textured wrap
Texture woven into the paper, so it cannot scuff off. Takes foil and deboss beautifully; breaks up a solid print.
120–140gsmLeather-grain and specialty
Embossed grain papers, metallics and colored stocks. One color and a foil mark, not a photograph.
120–160gsmFlocked and velvet liners
A short-fiber or woven pile for the interior and the insert. Holds a product without marking it and sets the color the piece is seen against.
Applied to board or foamMagnets and hardware
Neodymium magnets under the wrap, ribbon pulls, and hinges built from the wrap itself. Each is a line on the quote.
Per closureNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
On a rigid box the wrap is the finish, and the corners are where it is judged.
Soft-touch wrap
Velvet in the hand. The category default, and it scuffs at the corners first.
Linen and laid
Texture woven into the paper; hides marks and cannot rub off.
Hot foil
Stamped into the wrap. Small block, cheap die, large effect on a lid.
Blind deboss
Shape with no ink. On a textured wrap it is the quietest premium mark there is.
Spot UV on matte
A gloss shape on a matte field; a pattern that only shows at an angle.
Colored liner
A wrap on the inside face, seen for a second as the lid lifts. The cheapest thing that changes an opening.
Leather-grain
Embossed grain paper. One color and a foil mark, never a photograph.
Ribbon and hardware
A pull under the product, magnets under the wrap, a hinge built from the paper.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing a rigid box, where the wrap is part of the wall: games cd dvd boxes
A rigid box is built up rather than folded, so the internal size is set first and the board and wrap are added outside it. The lid is then made to fit the base, and that fit is the thing people judge.
- Internal dimensions
- The product plus its insert, at the widest point. Everything else is built outward from this number.
- Wall build-up
- Each wall is the grayboard plus the wrap on both faces — roughly 2.5 mm on a 2 mm board. A small box gains noticeably in outside size.
- Lid clearance
- A few tenths of a millimeter. Set on a plain sample: a slow, air-cushioned lift, not a lid that drops off or has to be prised.
- Insert depth
- The tallest item plus 2 mm. On a two-layer box, this sets the total height and the ribbon lift.
- Humidity
- Board takes up moisture and a lid set snug in a dry factory can bind in a damp shop. We allow for the delivery market.
- Tolerance
- Plus or minus 0.5 mm on a rigid box, tighter than folding board because nothing springs back.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about games cd dvd boxes? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
Do CD and DVD sleeves scratch discs?
Uncoated kraft can scuff a disc used often. We line pockets with smooth coated stock or add a paper inner sleeve for discs that are played regularly.
Can a game DVD box hold more than one disc?
Yes. Multi-disc wallets carry two to four pockets for box sets and multi-disc releases.
Are paper CD wallets recyclable?
Yes. A kraft wallet with a card hub and a paper band instead of shrink wrap can go into household paper recycling.
What size is a CD and DVD sleeve?
Sleeves are built around the standard 120 mm disc, with the pocket a little wider and a thumb notch so the disc comes out easily.
Can a CD wallet include a booklet?
Yes. A gatefold wallet can carry a slot for a booklet, lyric sheet, game manual or code card opposite the disc pocket.
How do I mail a single game disc safely?
In a rigid card disc mailer that keeps it flat, with a peel-and-seal flap and a face for the address.
Where does the age rating go on a game disc wallet?
On the front and spine areas that rating boards specify; we lay out the panel to match the wallet size you choose.
Can disc packaging be sealed without plastic film?
Yes. A printed paper belly band seals the wallet and shows if it has been opened, with no shrink wrap.
Do you make packaging for Blu-ray discs?
Yes. Blu-ray discs are the same 120 mm diameter, so the same sleeves and wallets fit them.
Can spine text be printed on a thin CD wallet?
Yes. Even a slim wallet has a spine of a few millimeters, enough for a title in small type when the panel is set up for it.
Is a cardboard disc hub better than a pocket?
A hub holds the disc by its center so the surface touches nothing, which suits collector releases; a pocket is thinner and cheaper.
