subject: Importance Of Cd Cover Design And Cd Label Printing [print this page] In this trendy and hap world, everything has been labeled, tagged, designed and stylized to suit the requirements and preferences of the users.

Once the proper cover design is prepared, next important step in CD publishing is the proper CD label printing. If label has not been printed on the blank space provided on the cover design then the CD will look shabby and improper.

CD cover design acts just like the cover page of a magazine. It is the first thing which a buyer of the CD observes. Therefore, it is very important to know what all should be included and what all be excluded while designing the cover of a CD. The front cover of a CD has the picture of the artist if its an audio or a video CD. If its a Cartoon film CD then it will have the Cartoon characters image printed on the cover. It has the title, genre, and the CD company logo printed on it.
The back cover of a CD consists of lists of the contents present in the CD. If its an Audio CD then it will have the track name along with the artists involved in the singing and composition of the track. The extreme right side of the back cover has the track duration. On a video CD, the imprints of the films or television serials poster is printed on the front cover and the back cover has the films or the serials summary printed on it. CD label printing team has to work in coordination with the cover designing team as the two are inter- related.
CD copying is one of the major and final steps of CD publishing. After the finalization of the design and label of the CD, one has to make appropriate number of copies so that the CD must have proper circulation of the discs in the market.
