We use a very heavy, thick stock on the inside called chipboard, or greyboard. This is very thick material, exactly the same as what's used in a hardbound book. The material is then wrapped with a 4C printed paper (thinner stock, about 10 gsm) which is glued to the material. This gives you the hardbound book style platform. Notice the thin border around the LP. Just like authentic albums, and the reason is the method of construction...the book binding!

Instead of being the typical rectangular shape that cd jackets are normally in, we make the albums the same square shape as the full 12inch size larger ones. Overall it's about 5 1/4 inches square. It's like a little bitty record!

This LP has two pockets; one used for the disc and one used for the booklet. The pockets are definitely an integral part of the construction method. Should you wish to do this as a double album with a cd in each side, it is exactly the same die.

AndrewSong 4pp LP jacket, with 2 pockets, bookbind chipboard,
with matte lamination.

This title uses a white, uncoated matte sleeve. Sleeves are also available in 1C printing or 4C printing, or a solid color.

The booklet is a 12pp (12 panel) booklet, stapled, and printed cmyk. Other options for separate booklets include folded (if 10pp or less), posters, or if larger size (>28pp) perfect bound with a spine. There are other options for attaching a booklet if you would like to explore that, such as gluing it on, or attaching inner pages (cd book) to the middle. Be sure to check out the CD Book page

Did you notice that everything tends to be matte on an LP? Matte Lamination on the LP itself. Disc Inner Sleeve - Matte Uncoated Paper Stock Booklet- matte aqueous finish. Booklets can also be done on uncoated stock paper, but we need to review your art to see if it is a good fit. Sometimes it is better, as in this case, to use coated paper and apply a matte aqueous finish. Let us guide you.)
