A Digipak typically consists of a gate fold paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD and/or DVD attached to the inside. Digipak style packaging is often used for single CD releases or special editions of an album. Digipak packaging is useful due to its resilience unlike the jewel cases which can be very brittle and smash quite easily. However, a Digipak can wear down quite easily unlike the jewel cases as it is less resistant to abrasion. Since the beginning of the 2000's, Digipaks have become quite popular with record labels and recording artists.
Looking into Digipak's is beneficial to me whilst creating my coursework as it is one of the ancillary tasks that I will have to make as a part of my final product so by doing this research allows me to see what typical conventions are used by artists, but also what makes a digipak successful compared to a normal CD, also the negative sides to them though too.

Here is a video that I found on youtube when carrying out some research about Digipaks which explains how they are economically beneficial and how they are made.
