Wondering if anybody here was interested in industrial packaging/prototype packaging and if they would have anything worth sharing.

Okay, I found this, spent some time thinking about, but I still don't know how to fold it and whether it makes that case in OP's pic.

Don't bother...it's shit. You're better off trying to just fold a sheet of paper and saving your few drops of ink.

Now...for OP's cd case...I like it enough..that I'm going to try to build it.

I know how it's folded...I'm making instructions.

This also brings up a question as to what paper would be best for CD protection.
Any thoughts?

Sandpaper.

There's a super smooth cardstock. I've only seen it in note cards and don't know what it's called really..but it's probably the best thing. And probably very expensive.


I just finished building it. I need to upload pictures and make an instructions page.

Definitely want to use card stock. It's 2 black sheets. Just a series of picture instructions and a text file to word it all.

Awesome, useful thing, but could anyone convert the measures to the metric system?

Very interested in packaging, though I have nothing to share ATM. bump for more?

Well..
1in = 2.4cm
1.5in = 3.6cm
2in = 4.9cm
3.5in = 8.6cm
5in = 12.5cm

I have a dual ruler. Most American rulers include both standard and metric, why don't yours?

True conversion is 1in = 2.54cm I just did it by my ruler.

Okay, I made the case, but either I did something wrong or it sucks. There is nothing to hold he CD steady in place. Any photos of a finished case with a disc inside?

I mean really inside, because I tried putting it as shown on the last photo, but it keeps falling out.

You have to make sure the inside is glued right.
I would take another picture for you. But it broke already.

There is a really easy way to make the inside with only one cut, and folding the rest. Also, this keeps the disc in because of how it's folded.

That would make it a little harder because the corners are all on the opposite ends of the paper. So you'd have to do it backwards. But still. Try it and take pictures.

What do you mean the corners are at the opposite ends? If you cut along the solid line, you can fold it up and it works flawlessly. I am pretty confident this is exactly how the real Jakebox is folded.
