As I was preparing last wedding DVD delivery, I thought it would be great to take some photos of my packaging to share with you. This is just how I do my DVDs. Maybe later I will show you portrait packaging.
To start, I do print my on DVDs. I have an EPSON Stylus Photo R320 that prints direct on DVDs. I really need to invest in larger-sized DVDs for wedding clients because I end up with about five of these when I’m finished. You can purchase these pretty much anywhere. I simply design my label in Photoshop and use the EPSON software for direct print to DVD to set it up and print it.

I put them in a DVD tin. If it’s just one DVD, then it goes in the insert that comes in these tins. If it’s multiple, then I put them each in their own CD sleeve with window and remove the little insert inside the tin so they all fit perfectly. I purchase these DVD tins at American Digital online.

When it’s all done, I tie a ribbon around it. I purchase large spools of these through Bags & Bows. I have custom Thank You tags through Pro DPI (yes, they come folded and hole-punched already. It’s sort of like a business card for me. And, buttons from Pure Buttons. If this were something the client would pick up, the item would go in a brown Kraft shopping bag with the ribbon and thank you tag on the handle, with the button placed there. This is actually being mailed to the client, out of town. So, it gets wrapped in tissue paper and a sticker goes on that with my contact info to be mailed.

That’s it! (other than I need new scissors because my ribbon edges above look horrible – I did fix these).
