Digipack Research

What is a Digipack exactly? A Digipack is by definition is a type of packaging used for CD's or DVD's, mostly make from cardboard which is then protected by a plastic holder. The overall aim is to protect the content, the CD/DVD.

There are a couple of different styles of Digipack, whether it be designed to flip open almost like a book, or it having three panels where the content itself is in the middle, and the left and right side both flip over.  

The first official Digipack product was first made by MeadWestvaco, however for the purpose of this, I will be focussing on the Ministry of Sound, and how they in particular have evolved. 

1993 was Ministry of Sound's first Digipack release date. Luckily, the brand have kept a continuous theme with their Digipacks, where there is always a continuous use of their logo. I also admire Ministry's use of their logo to replace a heart symbol, as seen below in the ' I Love Summer'. 

Below I have taken some of my own pictures, of the Ministry albums that I currently own, as they have different layouts that are interesting.
