Have you ever burned a CD for someone and then realized you don't have a sleeve or a case for it? Without some kind of protection, optical discs like CDs and DVDs can easily scratch and become useless. Next time that happens you can use a standard piece of printer paper and make your own case.

At papercdcase.com you can make a case for an audio CD and even label it with track names and artist before you print. You also can make an insert for a jewel case.

And at this site you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to make paper cases with suggestions for decorating them that include using pieces of wrapping paper. What a great idea! So if you're planning to make a nice video DVD for your family or a photo CD from your recent vacation trip, save some money, have some fun and make a cool case.
