- A digipak is a patented style of CD or DVD packaging. Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums. They typically consist of a gatefold (book style) paperboard or cardboard outer binding, with one or more plastic trays holding a CD or DVD connected to the inside.
- The differences between a digipak and an album cover are:
- Digipaks give a product an expensive and professional look and feel about it, especially when they are well designed.
- Digipaks are made out of cardboard whereas normal CD cases are made out of plastic.
- Digipaks can usually fit more than one CD inside. For example there are digipaks that can include up to four CDs.

-Back cover- on the back cover you usually find the track list and digital extras. Also the barcode or possibly another image of the artist or the record label logo.
-Inside cover- on the inside cover you could find a lyric book.
-CD tray- is often not a particularly detailed image, but an image that compliments the brand.
4) Does there need to be a connection between the faces on the digipak?
Yes, there does need to be a clear connection between all of the faces on the digipak in order to create a very coherent image of the artist for the audience to understand.
