CD labeling sounds easy and it is but we’ve got a few simple tips and guidelines to help the labeling process along the way.
Before you can even print or apply a cd label you need to design your artwork. This can be done by using a label art template or label software. CD label templates can differ depending on the manufacturer, style, or size and shape of the cd label. There are three most commonly sizes used for cd labels, one with a 22mm center hole and one with a 40 mm center hole, and also a 17mm center hole. If you design your artwork based on a larger center hole then print it out using smaller center labels your art will not line up and you’ll have unused white space. This does not allow for attractive looking cd labels so make sure you are using the correct template for creating and printing your labels. Also when creating your artwork make sure to bleed your background artwork past the printable inner and outer edges. This will help when you go to print if any shifting occurs you will not have white edges, but full artwork images from edge to edge of your cd labels.
Once the art is created and transferred to the template you are ready to begin printing. Make sure you have the right type of label paper that will work with your printer. Some cd labels will print on either an inkjet or laser printer but some are specifically for laser or inkjet only printing so it’s wise to check the paper before wasting it on the wrong printer.
After finishing the printing process it’s time to take those labels and apply them to your CD’s or DVD’s. Applying labels perfectly onto a disc takes an extremely steady hand so luckily there are label applicators that will allow you to easily label a disc perfectly every time. There are many styles of applicators on the market and we have one for every type of label wither it be for 40 mm hole, 22mm hole, business card CDs or mini CDs.
Now that you have beautifully labeled discs you can also create CD or DVD case inserts with our easy to use micro-perforated Packaging Inserts. These sheets already have the proper sizes in many varieties for most standard media cases. All you have to do is create your artwork to fit, print, fold and tear edges, and insert directly into the cases.
