Create a CD Paper Case

I discovered a nice website running a script that can create a CD, and DVD, paper case for you. The most basic version of the CD paper case requires an artist, an title and tracks to be entered before the paper case will be created as an Adobe PDF document that can be printed later on.

The basic form can list up to 16 titles and offers several optional parameters like selecting the paper format, type (papercase or jewel case) and the font from Western, Japanese, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional. An advanced form is available as well which increases the tracks to 28, provides room for additional text, an address and return address and a graphic from a selection on the site.

Once a paper has been created it needs to be printed and folded to resemble a paper CD case. Folding the CD case is not complicated, take a look at the image below to see how that is done.

The website provides access to a CD search engine which can automatically fill in the artist, album and track information if the CD is a commercial CD. It’s naturally also possible to use it to create a paper case for a movie or other data by leaving some of the fields blank during the setup.
