A digipak normally consists of a gatefold paper board or card stock. Outer binding with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a cd or dvd attached to the inside. It means the cd comes in a cardboard flip out case rather than a standad plastic hinged case. Digipak-style packaging is often used for cd singles or special editions of cd albums and the tall dvd digipak is used as a premium case for dvds and dvd sets.
