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 is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" 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 is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets
I think it is important to point out that with massive leaps in production and economies of scale being developed over the years Digipak's can be used purchased and developed fareasier than when the idea was first put into play. At one time Digipak's where only reallyaccessible by leading musicians but now are priced much cheaper and available by a broader market.
