Oh my God!! Dude, I've been working on a mix CD for the first anniversary with me and my girlfriend and your video is freaking awesome! I wish I had the time to redo what I've done already and use this guide. Instead, I used the back cover of another CD that had a white background and handwrote the tracklist and just used a photo for the front. The cover was too small, so I had to use scraps to fill in the blank spots 😢. Next time will be way better. You rock!
I mean, it sounds way cooler that way if you ask me! Actually, that way is how I started doing diy musical packaging. I got an old digipak to make my friend a mixtape, I collaged clippings on magazines on top of the existing case. Eventually I reverse engineer everything and that's how I got to where I am today. So, keep up the good work!
As a CD collector, this is a very helpful video when you want to have physical copies of songs that haven't been officially released. One more question if you don't mind. What kind of printers do you use for that glossy paper, ink jets, or laser? Thanks
Hey! Think you could make a tutorial for the slip cases? I’ve been thinking of making physical CD copies of my EPs and was thinking of bundling them together in a slip case 😊
If you haven't yet, maybe you could put up a tutorial on how to transfer artwork from digipak/cardsleeve packed CDs to jewel cases. I scanned the back covers of some of those card sleeve CDs in my collection but am not too good at photo editing, though I have been using GIMP recently but nowhere near good with it yet.
My local printer center is able to print in magazine-type-paper which makes it look really shiny, while also being thin and malleable. If you are unable to get that kind of paper, you can try printing it with laser printer as the ink makes regular paper look shiny.
I'm lost on how to print the pages of the booklet double sided. I have a double sided printer, just not sure what steps to do to print my page layers double sided.
Hey there, silly question here, but where do you purchase your jewel cases? I've been on the hunt for something a little more durable and those look like they fit the bill. Anyway, great tutorial!

For the booklet and the back, I used text paper with a laser printer, it is similar to magazine paper. With the cd label I use premium semi glossy sticker paper. As for the printer, I actually go to a printer center to get my project printed for me. All I know is that they have a professional epson printer.
to be honest, it depends on your printer. Some printers have the ability to do it manually, you'd just need to press the option to print on both sides. However, certain printers don't have that feature, so you'd have to manually adjust each page.

what are the dimensions of the booklet? When you insert the pages into PhotoShop, that's where i would like to know the dimensions of the pages! Thank you!
I used CS6 for the longest of time and it was my favorite version. If I could go back to it, I would haha At the moment I use CC2019, and it still works great
just a question i have a clear case, and i want to do an inside design. do both versions of the back cover have to be the same size? or does the outer one have to be smaller? just wanted to make sure before i make a mistake
No, not really. I actually prefer save the file (the image in the A4 size) as a high resolution jpg, and then print it from the printing feature on my laptop.
When it comes to cds all the code for the music is on the bottom of the disc. As long as there is nothing disrupting the laser that is used to read the code the cd will still play with no problems. That’s why cds that scratched don’t play because the laser can’t properly read the cd.

What kind of paper did you use for all of this? I noticed the booklet and CD are shiny.
i believe its magazine paper
Or known as glossy paper, I think you need a specific printer though
In France its name « papier glacer » so that mean Frozen paper
where I live we call it text paper, it is really similar to magazine paper
100lb text paper
I love your videos. What paper do you use for printing booklets in Jewelcases?
My local printer center is able to print in magazine-type-paper which makes it look really shiny, while also being thin and malleable. If you are unable to get that kind of paper, you can try printing it with laser printer as the ink makes regular paper look shiny.
I did it my self you can also do it with normal paper if you do it correctly it looks pretty good
what kind of paper did you use for the booklet?
I'm lost on how to print the pages of the booklet double sided. I have a double sided printer, just not sure what steps to do to print my page layers double sided.

Hey there, silly question here, but where do you purchase your jewel cases? I've been on the hunt for something a little more durable and those look like they fit the bill. Anyway, great tutorial!
I get mine online, amazon but back in the day, I used to buy used CDs and use the cases for my projects.
omg you did it so well
Thank you! 😊
may i ask what type of paper was used for the booklet?
My local printer center is able to print in magazine-type-paper which makes it look really shiny, while also being thin and malleable. If you are unable to get that kind of paper, you can try printing it with laser printer as the ink makes regular paper look shiny.

Thank you!

Happy to help
What was the type of paper you used friend?
how do you paste photo on that cd back cover file?
this is so helpful! just struggling how to print double sided hahaha
You might have to do it manually, until you get it right. I messed up pages and ink until I got it right the first times 😅
Are you able to use a regular printer on that kind of paper?
Yes, you just need to buy it accordingly to the ink your printer use.
Hey, thanks for the video! Can you tell me which type of paper and printer settings you've for both the booklet and the CD label? Thanks!
For the booklet and the back, I used text paper with a laser printer, it is similar to magazine paper. With the cd label I use premium semi glossy sticker paper. As for the printer, I actually go to a printer center to get my project printed for me. All I know is that they have a professional epson printer.
Do you know if theres any way to do this on a phone? I dont have a laptop or computer or anything to use for it😭
I can't understand how does the print part work? How do i literaly print the first 2 pages 2 sided? thanks!
Thanks informasion
just a quick question how do I get something to print on both the back and front side of the paper, as to be able to have artwork on every single side
to be honest, it depends on your printer. Some printers have the ability to do it manually, you'd just need to press the option to print on both sides. However, certain printers don't have that feature, so you'd have to manually adjust each page.
can you please tell me what paper are you using? thanks
It's called "Semi-Gloss Bond Paper"
is there anything i can use instead of photoshop? I'm a broke student...
Yes, I already filmed a tutorial. I just need to edited and post it. Will try to get it out soon!
Is it safe to use a glue stick on a blank cd when applying the label? It won't damage the cd or make it unreadable?
I've done it before and it does not affect the CD but it has to be craft glue, industrial glue MIGHT damage the CD.
What kind of paper do you use for these?
Regular paper isn't as shiny!
My local printer center is able to print in magazine-type-paper which makes it look really shiny, while also being thin and malleable. If you are unable to get that kind of paper, you can try printing it with laser printer as the ink makes regular paper look shiny.
You are amazing
Thank you!

What version should i use for Photoshop
I used CS6 for the longest of time and it was my favorite version. If I could go back to it, I would haha At the moment I use CC2019, and it still works great
Are you using matte brochure paper?
yes, but mine is semi glossy
just a question
i have a clear case, and i want to do an inside design. do both versions of the back cover have to be the same size? or does the outer one have to be smaller? just wanted to make sure before i make a mistake
No, both the inside and outside should be the same size
good video, thank you
you're welcome
thank you so much
You're welcome!
If I don’t have photoshop how can i use the template
Get photoshop if u want to do it
does this work with other software like gimp? since I can't afford photoshop and I was just wondering :P
do you have to print directly through photoshop? printed a png of the a4 size and it came out too small.
No, not really. I actually prefer save the file (the image in the A4 size) as a high resolution jpg, and then print it from the printing feature on my laptop.
Wait so rhe cd will stay play with the image on the top? 👀
When it comes to cds all the code for the music is on the bottom of the disc. As long as there is nothing disrupting the laser that is used to read the code the cd will still play with no problems. That’s why cds that scratched don’t play because the laser can’t properly read the cd.
what measurements i should use for the booklet in case i wanna print it from another app like word
its 12 cm x 24 cm
how did you place the second page? does it just go on top of the first layer you did?
yes, and save the files separate
did you use a certain printer to make the paper laminate and glossy?
I print on a local printer center, they have an epson printer. My local printer center is able to print in magazine-type-paper which makes it look really shiny, while also being thin and malleable. If you are unable to get that kind of paper, you can try printing it with laser printer as the ink makes regular paper look shiny.
Could you please do a video on how to make a box set for albums :)
Yes! Really want to make this tutorial!
do you use a special paper or just normal?
Yes, I use Gloss Text paper, it is similar to the ones used in magazines
