It's like "How It's Made" for musicians. I have an email in to DM for an album I made 8 years ago (now sold out) wondering if you keep the parts on file? Hope so. I want to bring it back to life.
Awesome to see this. I can only imagine what it was like to see my wife's CD being created, with her cover photo flying by one after the other, and folders printed and the whole thing wrapped. Thanks Tony for letting us in on the manufacturing side of things as it really brings to life just what your company does.
THANK YOU, TONY! this is AWESOME & INSPIRING to see this process! All the best to you and success is bound to come your, as well as everyone working at Disc Makers, way!
OMG!!!!! Amazing! Thank you! Writing those checks now will include a much increased volume of gratitude for the depth and quality of professionalism that goes into making the Soul Calls Digipaks! 🙏👏
That’s all really quite amazing! And to think, y’all had to retire all those cassette tape making machines to graduate to compact disc manufacturing. Or maybe you still have a place for those as well? Y’all have produced our cassette and CD albums for nearly 40 years!
Well, yes. The discs are manufactured separately. The board is printed, die-cut, folded, and glued separately. And then during final assembly, in one flow the disc is inserted in the tray, the tray is glued onto the board, the Digipak is closed, and then it's poly wrapped and boxed.
We do offer album inserts as well as promotional items such as postcards, posters, and stickers! Check out our website for some more info and feel free to reach out at info@discmakers.com with any questions! We are here to help! www.discmakers.com/products/custom-stickers-postcards-and-logos.asp
better question. why the digipak? vastly inferior to the jewel case which provides real protection and has never been improved upon. trying to emulate the lp with cd inserted into a flimsy hard to access piece of cardboard is no improvement. one step forward and 10 back.
I like digipaks for the artwork and because they’re convenient. Jewel cases are clunky, and i can only fit about 5 of them in my center console. With digipaks, I get at least 8 in there
@@JALeti jewel cases are very compact and still the best protection after 40 years of cds. trying to improve on them is like trying to reinvent the wheel. these cardboard digipaks and all that just the companies way of trying to replicate the lp sleeve which became shoddy even dvds could have been better served using the jewel case instead of those larger storage cases. that way storing cds and dvds together could have been perfect. standard size for both formats. i have over 1200 cds. easy compact storage on 2 book cases i adapted to utilize space. 2 rows per shelf. most of the few digipaks i purchased i modified to fit in a jewel case and the few i couldn't don't fit in as well with the standard jewel cases. plus,like lp covers,they tend to fall apart over time.- it never got better than the jewel case for protection. whats as bad or worse than digipaks are these slimline cases. the hinges continually break and theres no spine view so they can only be viewed fom the front. another mistake. good only for disc media storage. and lastly jewel cases allow for easy spine viewing,like cassettes. lps are terrible as trying to read the spines is impossible.
@@JALetiAgreed. I hate jewel cases. They always break at the connecting points and then the case is useless. The digipak displays the art better without a flimsy insert sheet too.

Yes we generally keep parts on file… we may have yours, though it’s been a while.
So cool to see the automated processes in action. Can't wait to get my next digipak order.

I really enjoy these videos. That show the process of how the equipment in your factory works. I guess that is the machine and electronic nerd in me…
Thank you! I love these "behind the scenes" videos.
Man a ton of work goes into those. Nice gig Tony.
Thank you for the Tour of your Digipaks factory and process from start to finish.

Quality production! Very impressive.
Phenomenal 💯

Awesome, thanks for being a loyal customer! No, the cassette equipment is long gone, running somewhere in Ethiopia…
Thanks
So the tray and CD/DVD are added at the same time when being poly wrapped?
Well, yes. The discs are manufactured separately. The board is printed, die-cut, folded, and glued separately. And then during final assembly, in one flow the disc is inserted in the tray, the tray is glued onto the board, the Digipak is closed, and then it's poly wrapped and boxed.
Does Discmakers offer Album Inclusions also? Like Photocards and such?

i hate digipak
Me too they ruin cd collections
非常不喜欢纸壳包装，廉价感十足，收藏价值太低了，如果我喜欢的唱片都只出纸壳装我不会再有购买的欲望
Do us all a favor and STOP making digipaks. Theyre trash
I hate digipacks with a passion those are made for defect the cd and artwork etcetera
I hate how ed sheerans new albums are digipaks which makes no sense considering hes one of the biggest artists

so true john ricco
I feel the same like if im paying money for a cd i want it in a jewel case not a crappy piece of cardboard
