A digipak is a patented style of optical disc packaging. Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.
To the left you can see two examples of what a digipak looks like. In these examples you can see that you can open it to have 3 sides rather than a CD which only has 2 sides. On one page you can see the main front cover with the album title and the artist's name. On another page you can see the disc itself stuck to the page. Then you can see the very back of the digipak which has the list of songs on the album/CD.
The good thing about digipaks rather than CDs or Vinyls is that it is smaller in size than a vinyl but lighter in weight than a CD, this makes transport cheaper and will also mean that shops can hold more inventory of digipaks.
Digipaks have become very popular due to the paper feel of it, it gives a nostalgic feel of vinyl. Because of it's popularity, it has a target audience on YouTube where people unbox the digipaks.
I believe that the artist I have chosen (Astrid S) has not released any digipaks yet. I think this is because she has released many EPs instead of full albums.
