Being such the go-getter that I am, I’ve already begun tackling items on my 20 Things in 2010 list. (By the way, I’ve just made a new category to keep up with checking things off the list). Actually, I’d started on this before I made the list…but in my book, this still counts.
So, this is part one of goal #5: Improve packaging for DVDs and albums to match the Birchtree Photography brand. And I must say that the idea for the DVDs is pretty much due to the suggestions of two other local photographers: Caryn Azure and Milla C.
I’d struggled with finding something that worked well for my client’s DVDs–I’d heard printing a label on the DVDs could damage them in the long run, and I wasn’t too keen on the typical jewel case packaging. So, with the suggestions and help from the aforementioned photographer friends, I now have some awesome DVD packaging: Birchtree Photography screen-printed DVDs and some cute little tins to place them in! I’m still debating on whether I want to put a sticker on the tins, but I also like the clean look of them as they are now. The DVDs I ordered from North Coast Interactive, Inc., and I’m really, really pleased with how they turned out. Screen printing is definitely the way to go–no flimsy label and no worries about damaging the disc. The tins I ordered from SKS packaging company, and they are just what I wanted.
The writing may look black, but it’s actually dark brown–an exact match to my logo.

Abbey - Hi Mary! I’m seriously thinking of using tins for my DVD packaging. I was just wondering, do you only use one tin per DVD or can you stack two DVD’s to a tin? Thanks!
Kristin Rogers - These look so great! So… that company printes them up for you or you just oredered your Cd’s from them?
Em - Love the new DVD packaging!!
Elaine - Thank you for sharing this. I’m ordering some tins/inserts right now! I’ve enjoyed the simple look of using Lightscribe on my DVDs but didn’t have a nice way to package them. Yours look great!
caroline - I’ve been back and forth on DVD packaging myself. At work we have a photoprinter that will print on DVDs, but it’s a little spotty at times. I love the tins!
Milla - yay yay yay yay yay!!!! So so glad you’re happy with it. I love it.
