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.
