affordable and eco-friendly DVD packaging options?

September 23, 2008 1:25 PM

I'm looking for affordable and eco-friendly DVD packaging options.

A small software company I'm doing work for needs eco-friendly packaging (cardboard) for their software DVDs, however, the intermittent print runs will be very small. What are some good options?

Specifically, I'm looking for a specialty vendor that prints directly on the packaging at a good price or someplace that sells packaging blanks that we could apply our own front & back labels to.

I originally suggested Jewelboxing, but it was just too much plastic.

Best answer: They don't do printing but there's no plastic involved: http://www.sustainablegroup.net/replay.html

Best answer: I am a musician who gets my own albums printed commonly and have had good experience with Discmakers. I, also, use their eco-friendly printing options:

They will do low to high quantity orders and have competitive prices. Click around the site a bit and I'm sure you'll find a good option for you. Good luck!

Best answer: These guys do arigato-style packaging that would work with labels.

If you want other options for making the discs, please email me via my profile.
