How to Make CD Jewel Case Inserts
When producing a CD, one of the most expensive aspects of production is the design and printing of the CD packaging. This is not usually an issue for commercially produced CDs, the producers and manufacturers of which have thousands of dollars to spend on production. For many up and coming musicians, this can be a major impedance on, and sometimes a deterrent to, self-production because of the high cost. Designing and printing your own CD insert is a cost effective alternative to commercial printing.
