Don't have a clue what your package should look like or how to put it all together? No worries! Let our Art Design team create the ideal concept for you. Custom design services start as low as $75.
Our graphic designers custom create Logos, CD & DVD pamphlets, booklets, inserts, and packaging that will be 'eye catching' and will enhance the perceived value of your project. You'll get a Major Label look on a small budget.
Working from your design ideas, pictures, and layout concepts we'll custom create the essential art files for your package. You'll receive art mockups via e-mail for your approval.
All art design package pricing includes design of on-disc print, 4/0 tray card design (when applicable), one image scan per page (additional scans available for $10 each), print films, and one set of minor design changes/adjustments before printing. (additional changes can be made before printing for an additional fee.)
You can use the DiscServices pricing calculator to determine the Design Fees for your package or contact us by e-mail or phone for help from our replication specialists. We're here to help!
Design Fees are based on the numbers of pages, designs, logos, and scans required for your specific needs and are priced affordably.
Creating your own art files? No problem!!!
See our Forms & Templates page for design specs and templates you can download to help make the job easier. ALL art files must be generated using our specific templates to assure that your project will be on time, done correctly, and with no additional charges. Any files sent NOT on our templates will result in an extended turnaround time and will be subject to a $100 conversion charge per file.

What is 4/1 vs. 4/4 printing?
4/1 (“four over one”) is color printing on one side with black-and-white print on the reverse side of the paper. This is our standard printing mode for most inserts and booklets.
For tray cards, 4/0 or 4/1 are the usual standards. By ordering your jewel cases with clear trays, your 4/1 tray card will show through when the disc is removed from the jewel case.
You can also order your package with 4/4 (“four over four”) printing. This is 4-color printing on both sides of the pages and tray card. Although it increases the cost slightly, the pro look of your jackets, booklets, tray cards and inserts will attract the eye better, so your project will stand out even more and will look like most 'national release' packages.
What is the difference between inserts vs. booklets?
Inserts are folded; booklets are stapled and can have many more pages for pictures and information. Six-page and larger inserts unfold to look like a nice brochure or poster, while booklets tend to be the printed lit choice on major releases. Either way, be sure to add plenty of info and lyrics... your public wants to know all about you!
Should I send photos to use for my layout?
We highly recommend that you acquire scans of all photographs and send electronic versions rather than the physical photos. If you do want to send a photo for us to scan, please don't send your only copy. Make backups of everything!
Please be aware that we print exactly what you send to us. All text must be already in electronic form so that we don't need to key any text. Double-check your text for spelling and correct meaning before sending it to us.
