Packaging

The CD is, without doubt, today’s standard medium. We meet the highest demands on quality with both CD-ROM and audio CD projects. The packaging and design part of the process deserves particular mention as it can make a simple CD into an extraordinary product concept.

The Specials

Colour-Disc


Using specially tested polycarbonate we can produce your CD in various colours, giving your data-carrier that special look.


Vinyl-Look-Disc


Surprising: A CD that looks like a vinyl LP.
This is manufactured using black polycarbonate and the label-print is achieved with a
special combination of screen and offset printing.


Freestyle-Disc


A small trick with great effect! Due to a partial metallization of the disc, specially chosen images float through the room, appearing three-dimensional and extraordinarily vivid.
Many different styles are possible.


Perfume-Disc


The CD as a sensory experience!
The scent is integrated into the surface layer of the perfume-disc and released by light rubbing.


Golden-Disc


The disc stands out from standard CDs thanks to the gold-coloured metallising, lending your product a special elegance.


Serialization-Disc


A serial-identification can be a useful application in various circumstances, for example, as an element of a copy-protection process or as a means of collating customer-data.  The individualisation can be carried out on the data-carrier as well as on the printed materials or packaging.


Vinyl-Disc


The VinylDisc combines the analogue and digital worlds of sound. It is made from two fused layers; the silver layer contains the digital information (either in CD or DVD format) and the upper layer has a record groove, meaning it can be played on any record-player.
The VinylDisc is copyright protected and an exclusive product of optimal media production.



optimal offers an extensive range of standard and special packaging options.
