Wewow launches FSC-accredited spiralling CD pack

June 17, 2010 Comments Off

Packaging company Wewow has signed up music label Communion Records as the first customer for its CD and DVD case made from a single spiralling piece of card

The Bradford-based CD and DVD packaging specialist has dubbed the pack the WowSpiral.

Unlike traditional CD and DVD packaging, it requires neither glue nor a plastic tray – the spiral forms a clasp to enclose the disc – and the FSC-certified card is printed using vegetable oil-based inks.

Wewow said that customers can order short runs of just 100 units, a move in response to the growing incidence of companies producing limited edition runs.

Communion Records bought into the concept because it was seeking a “creative, eco-friendly” form of packaging for folk artist Peter Roe’s ‘The Merry Go Round’ EP. The WowSpiral was finished in golf foil blocking.

A spokeswoman for Wewow told Packaging News that the WowSpiral has generated interest from other prospective clients, receiving 30 enquiries in the last week alone.

She said: “There has been a lot of interest from independent record labels but also from design and marketing agencies [looking to use the packaging in promotions] and a major CD/DVD manufacturing plant as shown a keen interest in the product.”
