Digipak Initial Research.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example of: 6 panel right-tray clear gloss UV digipak.

Digipak is a patented style of compact disc or DVD packaging, and is a registered trademark of AGI Media, a MeadWestvaco, Inc.resource, which acquired the original trademark holder, IMPAC Group, Inc., in 2000. MeadWestvaco licensed the name and designs to manufacturers around the world.

History

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies, and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak or Digi-Pak[2] is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot"[3] rather than a full plastic tray.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak)[4] is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets. Digipak-style cases grew in popularity among record labels and recording artists in the early 2000s.

Historically, Digipak was only available in large quantities. However, AGI has recently introduced a new product called digipak i-create for the consumer market. Digipak i-create is a web-supported concept that is aimed at the download, music, photo and creative markets.

  1. Your blog is moving in the right direction. You will however, need to combine analytical concepts and terms to provide a more detailed and detailed analysis of a music video in the genre you are now focusing on. Use all the tech terms from last year, all the new ideas from this year and undertake a free flowing and detailed analysis. You don't need to sub divide your analysis with sub headings like TODORV - the terms are the to be used, rather than focused on.

    At present, moving in the right direction for a level 3. More detailed analysis, including theorists and you need to make greater use of technology to achieve a level 4.
