2. One of the most important aspects in the
replication and distribution, or marketing of
DVDs is its packaging. Packaging can
actually create a whole lot of difference in the
overall effectiveness of the product. In fact
ideal packaging not only ensures that the
items inside are well protected, but also that
the product appears aesthetically appealing
to the buyer. There are practically several
different packaging methods, designs, and
configurations for DVDs to select from. The
varieties range from regular or standard
cases, to purely customized, made to order
presentation pieces.

3. Another popular misconception is that rough
looking board is recycled, or somehow better
for the environment. A card wallet can be
made with the board reversed (ie the smooth
surface turned to the inside) which reveals
the rough textured board as the outside of
the wallet. This gives an interesting texture to
the board and can be used to great effect in
the right CD and DVD packaging design, but
is not necessarily an indicator of the
provenance of the board. Once card has
been processed it is virtually impossible to
spot the difference between recycled, part
recycled, virgin or FSC approved board.

4. Where storage of digital media is a concern,
there shouldn't be any issues regarding
creative options when it comes to packaging.
Although most people view packaging as a
mere means of transport and storage, it has
become so much more these days.
Packaging offers physical support and
protection to products, particularly those that
are considered sensitive or fragile and they
also serve as a marketing tool, a means to
display and promote the product they
contain. Here are a few options for memory
card packaging that you might want to

consider:
5. Cardboard packaging
Cardboard is still the most basic form of packaging for memory
cards. They are simple, easy to design and produce and are
readily available. Depending on their size, paper quality and
design, cardboard packaging for media cards can be
affordable. They can range from plain boxes to more
complicated designs.
An advantage to this type of material is that it is recyclable. On
the down side, since cardboard is made of paper, it could
warp if exposed to moisture or extreme temperature.
Blister packaging
Blister packaging are a popular choice for memory cards
because they are quite flexible in design and use. This is a
type of packaging that is excellent for display, marketing an
retail of memory cards because it allows for full view of both
the product and its description. Blister packaging may come
as generic or customizable forms.

6. Blister packaging is also effective for protecting
sensitive memory cards from dust, dirt, grime
and oils.
Plastic packaging
Plastic is also one of the top choices for
memory card packaging. The advantage of
this type of material is that it is readily
available and is easily customizable in terms
of shape and design. It lasts longer than
cardboard packaging, is reusable and very
durable. Depending on the manufacturer, it
may or may not be recyclable.
