The package of these promotional materials should create a good impression in the minds of the onlookers. If you have got a good outer cover design and nice packaging then you are sure to draw attention. The packaging of a CD/DVD also provides a glimpse to the customers about the contents on the product.

Another important aspect of good packaging is that it protects the product while shipping or dispatch to even in the remotest corner of the world.
