Top CD Holder Choice - CD Jewel Cases

 The people's top choice for CD storage as of today is the CD jewel case. It has the capacity to hold one to four CDs, depending on the type of CD jewel case you choose. It has a pivot or hinge on one side that you can use to open the case to the left. The top cover is usually clear, while the back cover can be clear, black, white or colored.

A tray is placed in between the top cover and the back cover. For single CD jewel cases, you will find the tray sitting or connected to the back cover. For double CD jewel cases, the CD tray is attached to the pivot side so you can flip it. The tray can hold two CDs, one for each side. As for CD jewel cases that can hold three or four CDs, there would be two trays in between.

There are two types of CD case inserts: the front cover artwork and back cover artwork. The front cover artwork serves as the album cover, where you place the design specific for the occasion where you are using the CDs as party favors. The back cover serves as the print that shows the list of songs or tracks and their number order. Sometimes, you can place a CD booklet that contains the lyrics of the songs or your messages for the people whom you are giving the click here.

CD jewel cases are actually made up of clear plastic. Colored ones are made up of tinted plastic. The tray can be made out of either material. Being thicker, black CD cases are stronger than other types. Clear CD jewel cases made out of pure materials are also strong, but those made out of recycled materials are sometimes easily broken. If you are aiming for a better looking CD case, you should choose the clear or transparent type. If your goal is to have a sturdier container, you should opt for the black type.

Another popular type of CD case is the Slimline style. It can contain only one CD, and the back cover serves as the CD tray itself. It has a clear top cover, with a back cover that can either be black, clear or colored. It is as thin as one-third of an inch. This is the ideal give-away for celebrations like weddings, birthdays, reunions and the like.

The front cover has small clips that you can use to attach the cover design, compared to the typical CD jewel case that has four teeth that you can use to place the front cover artwork and the CD booklet. Being a slim container, it can contain a maximum of one folded sheet. It is handy and you can bring a lot of them even in a small paper bags.

You can buy assembled or un-assembled CD jewel cases. If you are buying in bulk, it would be better to buy the un-assembled cases so that you would be able to check whether the cases given to you are the clear and not the recycled type.
