Compact Discs have become one of the best ways to distribute data. Be it a cultural video, music or some educational data, most of these are distributed digitally using the compact discs or CDs and digital versatile discs the DVDs. CDs and DVDs are always accompanied by a cover or protective case and it is important for you to make sure that you give a personal touch to them. Here are a few reasons why you should have a custom cover for CDs:

  • Your CD will have unique content be it music, videos or educational documents and thus it is very important for you to make it look distinctive. It should have an identity of its own when put among a crowd of other CDs
  • An attractive CD cover will draw the attention of people when it is put in a music store, educational fair or other events. It should pull the audience towards it and arouse their desire to buy.

  • A custom cover should provide people with a glimpse of what lies inside. It should have a few pictures in the front end which relate to the content. In the back it should have the contents of the CD arranged in a logical manner.
  • If you have commercial interest with your CD you will need to make sure that it has things like ISBN and price printed on it. ISBN is a must if you want to sell it through websites like Amazon.
  • If you have prepared some videos and music at home and want to distribute it freely, a customized cover will add a professional touch to it. If you distribute it in ordinary CD covers it creates a sense of unprofessionalism and piracy.
  • Create a logo and brand name for yourself and put them prominently on the CD. Also include your contact details at the back of it. This will go a long way to promote your brand if you are using the CDs to establish your business.
