Re: Cd packaging



For my old band's last release, I bought a quantity of brown recycled 
cardboard CD mailers, then had a huge rubber stamp made to my design, 
about eight inches wide. I managed to also find a huge red inking pad, 
then individually stamped each cover. I made two other smaller stamps to 
add a bit more info on the back, put the cd inside in a thin CD 
envelope, and printed the liner notes myself which I also slipped 
inside. They looked great and unique, and were really cheap to make, I 
think the stamp cost me about $30 US and the mailers were less than a 
dollar each. The final package was also easy to mail as they were nearly 
flat.

(Here's a pic of a bunch of them drying - I underinked some for a 
rougher appearance...http://www.mhorse.com/Gfx/snuff_floor.jpg)
