"Digipak is a patented style of CD, DVD or BD packaging, and is a registered trademark of AGI-Shorewood, an Atlas Holdings LLC company."
Digipaks are usually designed in a book style paperboard which allows the person using one to select multiple disks which are stored within the Digipak. A digipak can consist of multiple items such as DVD's, CD's, booklets and other content that is exclusive to the digipak itself.
When digipaks were first brought out they were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies and because there is no other common name for Digipak-style packaging made by other companies, the term digipak, digipaks have become the known term for any CD package that consists of more that one disc tray.
Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.
Notable Digipaks
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Six-panel Digipak with 2 CD trays. One inner panel has a circle cut out to display the liner notes for either the Jupiter or Mars disc, depending on which side is facing the cut-out when inserted.
Kanye West: An insert included allows the front panel's artwork to be interchanged as 4 different artworks.
