theosd Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 We are really keen to get our EPs printed on recycled or carbon neutral packaging. Does anyone know where we can get this done on a budget? ANY input is welcome; I just don't know where to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You could always use something like [url="http://www.papercdcase.com/"]http://www.papercdcase.com/[/url] and have them printed on recycled paper in an art shop or similar. I quite like these paper cases. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 we wanted our album artwork/packaging to be printed on that earthy/brown/recycled card stuff but it worked out like twice the price of a regular jewel case + gloss paper booklet... our label wouldn't put up the money... a real shame - it would have looked sweet. sorry, can't offer any hard info or advice - our label and design guy sorted it all out without our input... i'll e-mail ahead and see if i can get some more info for you... maybe you'll have better luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misrule Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was wondering what the benefit of eco-friendly CD cases would be, given the plastic and resin in the disc itself. Out of curiosity, I looked around online for info on how harmful CDs are to the environment. I didn't find a great deal -- but there are a couple of places selling paper cases, including this one in the States.

ambient Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 One of my tutors at uni buys recycled cardboard wallets and uses a stamp to print them herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorsetBlue Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Linux Format tried using EcoDisks for a while for their coverdisks, unfortunately their fail rate was awful and they reverted to usual ones. Admittedly CDs are a little more error friendly than DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfunk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I've had stuff screen printed before. As one poster suggested you could get some blank ones and then see if you can find somebody to do it locally. My neighbor used to work for a not-for profit art studio where they had a screen press and you could get stuff done fairly cheaply, and up here there are a couple of community print shops. Art/design students might have access to print stuff too? Or if you want to purchase them and have them printed places like printing.com do all sorts of stuff?

Wooks79 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I found a local company on eBay selling recycled card cases, flat and unmade, got a local printer to run them through his printer, then folded and stuck them myself. Worked out cheap and was loads of fun to do. Otherwise, I'd look at http://www.acdsleeve.com/products/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
