4 Panel Digipak - This is a popular choice these days for independent musicians. The digipak is made of cardboard stock that is printed in full color. The cardboard is then folded together to make a sturdy case. Finally, a plastic tray is glued inside to hold the CD or DVD in place. If you opt for a clear case, you’ll have 4 panels of print space. But if you opt for a colored case, you’ll have just 3 panels since the tray will be glued over the top of one.
Slim Jewel Case with 2 Panel Insert - This is similar to the jewel case, but it has one key difference: the slim jewel case has no room for a tray card. This makes it only half as thick as a standard jewel case. Slim cases are compact, lightweight, and great for protecting your disc during distribution. However, because there is no spine on these cases, they aren’t ideal for storage and organization.
Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood Of Colour
This is the 6 panel digipak which has pockets to fit the CD and DVD into, the last two photos shows the booklet that comes with it with even more photos and the lyrics on it too. I quite like this idea as you can do a lot with it however it will take a lot of work to do. I also found that surprisingly this was the more expensive style of digipak than the other two (below, both Pink's and A Day To Remember's) that used jewel cases.

Pink - Funhouse: The Tour Edition
This digipak by Pink is like a normal CD Jewel Case except that the DVD flips out on the back of the CD, this means that on the inside there is a place for another photograph, in this case Pink riding on a horse. It also comes with a booklet which you can see on the inside of the Jewel Case.
A Day To Remember - For Those Who Have Heart
This casing is also similar to a normal CD Jewel case but once again the DVD flips out but in the inside this time and not to one side. It also carries an advertising leaflet for "Victory Records" and the booklet for the band's digipak on the inside. This digipak also came with a casing which is a good idea as its another piece of material that can be used to emphasise the band and what the digipak is about.
- All of the digipaks come with stickers showing the barcodes, pricing and labels explaining what songs are in it and also what more the customer is getting than if they were to just buy the CD. Pink's digipak also includes a Parental Advisory sticker which could be because there is a lot of swearing in her songs.
