A Digipak is a patented style of packaging most commonly associated with CDs but has recently become a general term for a more expensive form of music packaging which includes more then just the CD and also has more then two panels and therefore, more folds. It can be used to contain mulitple discs, lyrics booklets or background information about the artist. Digipaks are usually sought after by collectors because of some of the extra items included in the pack and to cover the extra production costs, they tend to be more expensive.
Pros and Cons of the Digipak:
+ Cheap to produce in bulk.
+ Can include more artwork which means it's more appealing.
+ Has the potential to include many pockets/panels.
+ Can store the CDs and any bonus items
+ Appealing for collectors.
- Can look tatty quickly after some use.
- Sometimes CDs can fall out if the holder is foam.
- CDs can fall out if teeth brake also.
- If made of card, can take water damage and tear.
