Artwork & Packaging
Sony DADC offers a huge variety of disc packaging options which can be perfectly tailored to your needs. To customise the artwork to your own design (e.g. the print on the carton sleeve or the paperwork inserted into the jewel case), artwork films would need to be prepared in advance.
