You will need to provide a minimum of 6 or more files for your CD:

• Booklet images (minimum of 2)
  Your booklet is placed in the front sleeve of the jewel case. We require a minimum of 2 files for the booklet: the booklet outside image and booklet inside image. Additional booklet inside images can be added for booklets that are 4 or more pages. The right side of the booklet outside image will appear in the front of the jewel case and the left side of the booklet outside image will appear on the back page of the booklet. The booklet inside image the pages within the booklet and is what the customer will see when they take the booklet out of the case and open it. A small barcode is added to the bottom right of the last page of the booklet.


• Tray card front and back images
  Your tray card is an insert placed in the back of the jewel case, under the tray, and wraps around the spine and edges of the case. We require 2 files for the tray card: the tray card front image and the tray card back image. The tray card front image is what appears when a customer removes the CD from the case as it is located underneath the CD and the tray card back image is what a customer will see when they look at the back of your case. A small barcode is added to the lower right of the tray card back image.


• Disc face image
  Your disc face image goes on the discs. If you have multiple discs, please prepare each disc face image separately. A small barcode is added to the bottom of your disc artwork. This barcode is required for quality control purposes.


• ZIP archive file containing all audio files
  

There are 5 pieces to CD artwork: Booklet Outside, Booklet Inside, Tray Card Back, Tray Card Front and Disc Face.

The CD Booklet is placed in the front sleeve of the CD jewel case. From the CD Booklet Outside Template, the right side image will appear in the front of the CD case. The left side image will appear on the back page of the CD Booklet. The Booklet Inside image is what the customer will see when they take the booklet out of the CD case and open it.

The CD Tray Card is placed in the back of the CD jewel case and includes the spine of the case. The CD Tray Outside image is what a customer will see when they look at the back of your CD case. This is traditionally where artists put track listings, and include the basic title information on the edges/spine. We will automatically superimpose a barcode in the lower right corner of the tray card outside image.

The CD Tray Card Inside image is what appears when a customer removes the CD from the case as it is located underneath the CD. Review the CD/DVD Artwork Quality Standards before proceeding with your artwork.
