Over the last few years we as a group have moved to the DVD. Now however, the plain DVD in a plastic jewel case or even in a DVD case with a standard insert, "Your Wedding", "Our Special Day" or whatever it might say is more and more passé.

Chicago Digital, has launched a new line of fully customizable, ‘Retail-Ready’ Blank Recordable DVD Packages which now allow videographers and producers to deliver high-quality products to their clients without the hassle of trying to create professional packaging themselves.

I test-drove this service and I have to admit I was skeptical at first. But after paying a nominal $6.95 for a single package, I am more than impressed, especially with the quality. To start, the Disc itself is name brand, Grade-A media and the printing if full color edge-to-edge dye-sublimation printing. For those of you not familiar with this form of disc printing, it is a permanent, on-disc gloss printing that provides photographic quality.

The Package came fully assembled with Full Color Digital Printed DVD Case outerwrap on semi-gloss 80# text with the disc individually packaged inisde and ready to be removed and burned. Included with the package was an insert card providing the end-user with instructions on caring for their new disc. Very smart. Also included was a re-sealable clear poly-vinyl DVD bag which fit snuggly around the case and provides a polished finished look and feel. Overall I would give this a serious thumbs up and plan to start using these for my next wedding production.
