I want - Jewel Case Inserts

TheChillPill

I'm trying to get my collection of CDs and DVDs in order, so I'm on the lookout for some blank Jewel Case inserts that I can print onto.

All the ones I've seen so far have been on the expensive side (£8 for 25) - anyone know of a cheaper supplier? I'll need a few hundred altogether.

How about using heavy wt A4 paper and a guillotine ?

I've tried that in the past, but the problem I always have is getting the folds in the right place.

Might be worth another go at it though

Are you using software program to print the covers ? Such as Nero Cover Designer. It comes with the option to print the fold lines and have crease/crop pointers.

Not sure what is available with the other CD Suites. there may even be free CD cover design programs around .

BRB - gone to google ... :rotfl:

I've previously used a template in Adobe Illustrator - that gives me the lines etc, I think it's more a case of needing to get to grips with creasing the paper/card in a straight line and with the right amount of pressure.

Everytime I've done it before, it's taken me that long to eventually get one right, that it would have been cheaper to buy the pre-done sheets!

I use a Mac too, so the software options are a bit less widely available.

After the first 25 you will be flying through them :rotfl: ...

Pop to a pound shop and get a steel rule to score the paper first, alternatively I have seen a tool - a cutting wheel that serrates paper ( like a pizza cutter ) making it easier to fold .. but have no idea where you can get one

Thanks - I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually, will perservere with it for a while and see how it goes.
