Two page unprinted record-style wallets for vinyl CDs for small run orders of 20 items or more
The 12cm vinyl-effect CDs are suitable for both singles and full albums and have a solid black, gold, silver, white, red, blue, purple, orange or green ridged spiral running around the outside of the disc on the printed side, looking exactly like grooves in a record. The data sides of the discs then match the top colour of the discs for the black, silver, red, blue, purple, orange and green discs (it is just the gold and white discs that can’t have matching colour data sides and they are a standard silver underneath).
As standard, our 12cm vinyl CDs come with full colour sticker printing, which is applied to the centre of the disc. Should you require direct disc printing, in the 65mm area in the centre, then please contact us.
The plain record-style wallets come in 100% recycled natural white card with a matt finish, smooth white card, a thick solid matt red (roughly Pantone 1797), a thick solid matt black or a thick textured brown Manila / kraft colour, see further below for a picture and further information. We have had the record-style CD wallets specially made for us to look like an original vinyl record sleeve with a hole on one side for the artwork to show through. These record style wallets are unprinted to provide the most cost-effective vinyl CD packaging option, however we also have printed wallet versions available here.
Additional info
Environmentally-friendly compostable CD packaging wraps
In addition to conventional cellophane protective and presentation wraps for your discs that are ideal for retail environments or presentation purposes, we can now offer an environmentally-friendly version made from potato starch and is 100% compostable, breaking down into CO2 and humus and can literally be put on a compost heap to break down (they just need prolonged contact with moisture and warmth to break down biologically). The clear wraps have a very high clarity, are almost indistinguishable from cellophane and are certified to the European EN 13432 standard which requires the compostable material to disintegrate after 12 weeks and completely biodegrade after six months.
Please note that the compostable nature of the wraps means that they are a temporary storage wrap and should be stored in cool dry conditions and should be used or disposed of within six months. If you think that your discs may not be sold within a few months or that your customers may want to keep them in the original outer wrap then you may wish to stick to conventional cellophane wraps.
If you wish to go for compostable wraps then please select the Compostable wrap option from the Wrapping drop-down above.
Do you need a barcode?
If you will be selling your discs through a retail store then you will probably need to register a unique barcode for your release and apply it to the rear outer artwork of your product to make it possible for them to sell via their product barcode scanner.
In Europe we use the EAN 13 barcode system and in North America the UPC system is used. We can register an EAN 13 barcode for you and embed the barcode graphic within your disc packaging artwork. The only information that we will require from you will be the name of the band/artist and the title of the release, then just leave a suitable space in your artwork and we will register the barcode and add it to your artwork for you.

Have you considered NFT tag stickers?
If you would like customers to be able to tap your cassette tape, CD, USB, VHS or just about anything else on their Android or Apple phone to open up a web page, music video, specific Spotify artist page, album or track then just include NFC (Near Field Communication) tag stickers with your order and we can then apply them to your product.
These tags measure 19mm x 12mm in size, use an NTAG213 chip with clear PET and a strong adhesive back. They have a strong field for their size and are very durable.
