Colour CD Covers Printing
Colour CD Covers are one of the newer products that we offer, and CD Covers are offered in several sections:
- CD Cover Rear Inlays — these are the slips that pop into the backs of CD Covers;
- Single-sheet CD Cover Front Inlays;
- Four page CD Cover Front Inlays;
- Six-page CD Cover Front Inlays; and
- Eight-page CD Cover Front Inlays.
Discount and Cheap Full Color CD Cover Printing Service
Our discount priced and cheap full colour CD Covers are offered in set quantities. The single greatest advantage of using our discount priced and cheap CD cover printing service is the price. Our prices are, as mentioned, cheap.
Your discount priced full color CD covers printing order can contain up to ten different designs. All designs, however, must be ordered in equal numbers.
CD Cover Rear Inlays
These slip into the back of the standard plastic CD cover.

You can have your rear cd cover inlay printed on one side. Given many plastic cd covers are now clear, you may also have your read cd cover inlay printed on both sides.
Check out our CD Cover Rear Inlay prices, on sustainable plantation or recycled papers.
CD Cover Front Inlays
CD Cover Front Inlays come in several sizes.

You may have a single-sheet CD Cover Front Inlay, and that CD Cover Front Inlay can be single or double sided.
You may also order several 'fold-out' CD Front Cover Inlays. These are called:
- 4pp CD Front Cover Inlays — when closed, these are the size of a standard single-sheet front CD cover slip, and open out to twice that size;
- 6pp CD Front Cover Inlays — when closed, these are the size of a standard single-sheet front CD cover slip, and open out to three-times that size; and
- 8pp CD Front Cover Inlays — when closed, these are the size of a standard single-sheet front CD cover slip, and open out to four-times that size.

Paper Styles and Weights
We only offer one paper weight with CD covers, but two stocks. The one weight is 150gsm gloss stock, and you have a choice of:
- 100% sustainable plantation 150gsm gloss paper — Sustainable plantation paper is paper that is grown on plantations, and those plantations adhere to strict environmental standards, such as conserving water and not using pesticides.
- 55% recycled and 45% sustainable plantation 150gsm gloss paper — gloss paper must be polished, and 100% recycled paper is not (at this moment) sufficiently suitable for the polishing process. Therefore, we use the blended 55:45 paper.
Both stocks are sufficiently robust to handle 'fingering' and 'thumbing' by users, but not too hard so as to be stiff and unmaliable.
Please note that the paper is a gloss stock, and this means that the stock adds 'brightness' to the colours that are printted upon it. It is NOT a gloss coating that is placed on the paper after printing.
