CD Packaging: Mark Fry/The A. Lords – I Lived In Trees

The CD packaging of Mark Fry’s “I Lived in Trees” album comes with a packet of Rowan tree seeds. How awesome is that! Since their title is “I lived in trees”, then they must’ve thought ‘hey, why not give away seeds?’. Seeds don’t cost a lot but they’d make as hip giveaways. Clever!

I wish more musicians and designers would think of adding simple freebies to their albums.

What I like about this CD packaging is that the individual items, when bundled together, creates a lovely nostalgic feel. It’s like a box of goodies from childhood.

Seed packets is always a good idea. Katy Perry also did it with her Prism album.

Do you like this CD packaging?

We here at Unified are obsessed with beautiful CD packaging. We’ve been making creative releases since 2008 and lovely packaging has become an obsession of ours. We even have a Pinterest page dedicated to all things media packaging. If you want to make a really badass album with cool CD packaging, get a quote or shoot us an email.
