Since wallets with more panels (like 4-panel or 6-panel) require more material compared to a basic 2-panel wallet the cost will be much higher for the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, the more complex the CD wallet\u2019s design, the higher the price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if budget is a concern and you only need just that one pocket for your CD, then a simple cardboard wallet might be the best option. But if you need more pockets and have the money set aside for it, then a 4-panel or 6-panel CD wallet is worth the extra cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before making a final decision, take a moment to consider both your presentation goals and your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By matching your space and pocket needs with the money you have, you&#8217;ll be able to choose a CD wallet that effectively showcases your work while staying financially responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-design-and-printing\"><\/span><b>#2 DESIGN AND PRINTING<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The base price of a CD wallet covers materials and basic construction. However, adding any printing directly onto the wallet incurs additional costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s where color plays a significant role:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple black and white logo is a budget-friendly option. The printing process requires minimal ink and setup, keeping the cost down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a good choice if you want to save money, don\u2019t compromise your album\u2019s theme though!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you want to unleash a kaleidoscope of color on your CD wallet, then that\u2019s okay too. Full-color designs with vibrant graphics create a visually striking impression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this comes at a price. Each additional color used requires extra ink leading to a higher cost compared to black and white.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key is to find your sweet spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-designed black and white logo on a thoughtfully chosen colored paper stock can be just as impactful (and budget-friendly) as a full-color explosion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So get creative, explore your options, and let your CD wallet become an extension of your musical identity!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-coating-or-finish\"><\/span><b>#3 COATING OR FINISH<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Matte-UV-and-High-Gloss-UV-cd-wallet.jpg\" alt=\"cd in wallet coating or finish\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Matte-UV-and-High-Gloss-UV-cd-wallet.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Matte-UV-and-High-Gloss-UV-cd-wallet-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Matte-UV-and-High-Gloss-UV-cd-wallet-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Matte-UV-and-High-Gloss-UV-cd-wallet-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have 3 finishes available for CD wallets: Aqueous, Matte UV, and High Gloss UV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine a crystal-clear shield for your printed masterpieces. That&#8217;s the magic of aqueous finish! This water-based coating dries fast and comes in two flavors: high-gloss for a dazzling shine or matte for a sophisticated touch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it\u2019s made with water, it&#8217;s kinder to the planet than other options. It also offers superior scuff resistance compared to varnishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a lightning-fast drying time and the ultimate high-gloss finish or the sophisticated matte finish then UV coating has you covered!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This coating uses ultraviolet light to instantly cure and harden, making it perfect for projects that need a quick turnaround. And if you\u2019ve got targeted areas for gloss and matte finishes, then this is a good one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However it has its downsides. UV coating can be a bit rigid. Scoring or folding a UV-coated piece might lead to cracks, so keep that in mind for designs with folds or creases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UV coating also tends to show fingerprints more readily than other options. And it even requires special UV-compatible inks and usually can&#8217;t be combined with foil stamping or embossing done beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a reason why this affects CD wallet pricing. But you won\u2019t have to worry about the added cost for this layer of protection because we offer aqueous finish for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-miscellaneous\"><\/span><b>#4 MISCELLANEOUS<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ordering from us then there are a bunch of miscellaneous things you have to consider like clear see-through stickers and UPC (Universal Product Code)\/barcodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The see-through stickers are for additional protection while your CDs are shipped and delivered while UPCs are unique codes that act like a tiny passport for your CD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When scanned in stores, it allows them to efficiently track inventory, manage sales, and ensure accurate pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, a UPC is essential for registering your sales on SoundScan, a system that tracks music sales and plays a crucial role in charting and industry recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s an option where you can have them or not. If you do want to have them, then just bear in mind that there\u2019ll be additional costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-number-of-units-ordered\"><\/span><b>#5 NUMBER OF UNITS ORDERED<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One fantastic way to get the most out of your CD wallet purchase is by taking advantage of bulk order discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like buying groceries in larger quantities, many manufacturers offer significant price reductions per unit when you buy CD wallets in bulk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be a real budget-saver, especially if you&#8217;re planning a large album release or need a stock of CD wallets for storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, there you have it!
