From: John on 19 Jul 2008 14:20 Can anyone advise what type of glossy paper (weight wise) is about right for the DVD covers that go inside the plastic on the outside of the DVD? e.g. 100gsm, 120gsm? Some of the DVDs I have the paper does seem pretty thin but when I have been looking for glossy paper for this I don't seem to have been able to find much below about 190gsm. Thanks, John
From: Jeff Strickland on 19 Jul 2008 14:54 I do not understand the goal. What are you trying to do? The only reason for paper labels is that they can print on the label separately from the CD itself. You could make your own CD and write on it with a felt-tip marker (Sharpie brand is excellent for this) and have no paper at all. The blank labels you buy at the store to print at home are going to be heavy enough to be fed through any printer. If they are too thin, some printers may not like them.

Well you dont necessarily have to use glossy, as the plastic sleeve will make it glossy so any photo paper will do. I would check out http://svp.co.uk/index.php Good rang of papers in different weights from �2 a pack Satin and silk low cost paper look very good. where as cheap glossy never looks smooth -- Trev Nobody is perfect. But Being a Yorkshire man is as close as you can get.

When responding to a top poster, it helps everybody if you top post as well. I get that I am a prick for top posting, but you are not likewise a prick for keeping the discussion going in order, improper or not. In any case, is the OP merely asking about paper jewel cases? If so, get whatever is available.
