About this product

The EVF90100 is a book-style presentation folder designed to hold two CDs and a printed booklet without relying on plastic trays. It opens to reveal a flat mounting panel with curved slits for the discs on one side, and a dedicated capacity pocket for literature on the other.

Because it uses a double-creased spine and a gusseted pocket, the wallet closes cleanly even when fully loaded. It is a solid option for software distribution, corporate media kits, and audio releases that benefit from a plastic-free, smooth printable surface.

Common uses

  • Software distribution kits
  • Corporate media presentations
  • Audiobook or premium album releases
  • Educational course materials

Practical Uses for the Bi-Fold CD Wallet

Software and Training Kits

Well-suited for distributing installation media alongside printed manuals. The gusseted pocket provides enough depth for multi-page guides, while the opposite panel keeps the discs visible and accessible.

Premium Audio and Promotional Releases

Provides a plastic-free, smooth printable canvas for albums, audiobooks, or press kits. The large flat covers offer uninterrupted space for high-quality graphics and finishes.

Corporate Press Kits

Useful for distributing company media, high-resolution images on disc, and printed company profiles in one unified presentation folder.

Educational and Course Materials

Holds instructional DVDs or CDs alongside printed syllabus pages or study guides, keeping course materials organized for students.

Industries and Media Applications

Corporate Communications

Often used for onboarding materials, annual reports, or event takeaways where digital files and printed summaries are presented together professionally.

Manual Fulfillment Operations

Because the CDs are flexed into the mounting slits and the booklet inserted into the pocket, this wallet is packed by hand. It fits operations equipped for manual assembly.

Independent Music and Publishing

Boutique labels and publishers looking for plastic-free, smooth printable album or audiobook packaging often choose this folder for its premium feel.

When to Consider a Different Media Sleeve

Single-Disc Distribution

If you only distribute one CD without a thick booklet, a standard single-pocket sleeve or a simple two-panel wallet will reduce material use and assembly complexity.

Parcel Shipping

This wallet is a presentation piece, not a shipping carton. If the media is shipped through a courier network, it should be placed inside a rigid outer mailer or corrugated book wrap.

Capacity, Board, and Assembly Choices

Spine and Gusset Capacity

The central spine and the literature pocket gusset are sized to match the exact thickness of your printed booklet. Knowing the page count and paper weight early ensures the wallet will close flat without bowing.

Board Grade and Grain Direction

A high-quality folding boxboard (FBB) or solid bleached sulfate (SBS) is often chosen. The board should be stiff enough to grip the CDs securely, but flexible enough to prevent cracking along the double-creased spine.

Gluing and Assembly Route

Because the pockets fold inward from opposite sides of the blank, automated gluing often involves specialized cross-fold equipment. For shorter runs, manual gluing and assembly may be more practical.

Print Surface and Finishing

The wallet is typically printed on one side of the flat blank. Because the pockets fold inward, this single printed side forms both the outer covers and the visible interior faces of the pockets, making it efficient for premium finishes like foil stamping or spot varnish.

Adjusting the Wallet for Your Media

CD Slit Placement and Sizing

The curved slits are calibrated for standard 120mm optical discs. If you are using mini CDs or custom media, the slit width and vertical placement can be adjusted to ensure a secure grip.

Pocket Height

The literature pocket is typically half the height of the wallet, but it can be raised or lowered depending on the size of the inserted materials.

Spine Width Adjustment

The central double crease can be widened to accommodate thicker booklets or additional inserts without causing the covers to bow outward.

Packing details

Testing CD Retention

Always request a physical, unprinted prototype to test how well the curved slits grip your specific discs before committing to a full production run.

Pocket Profile Variants

EVF90100a (Alternative Pocket Profiles)

Features different aesthetic curves on the literature pocket and the CD mounting panel, offering a distinct visual presentation while maintaining the same two-disc capacity.

Additional notes

Prototype testing for media fit

Testing a physical prototype helps verify that the curved slits grip the discs securely and the spine accommodates the booklet thickness.

FAQs

How are the CDs held in place without a plastic tray?

The right-hand panel features curved die-cut slits. The paperboard flexes slightly to allow the edges of the CD to slide in, and the tension of the board grips the disc securely.

Can this wallet be loaded automatically?

Inserting the CDs into the curved slits and sliding the booklet into the pocket involves human dexterity. This package is designed for manual fulfillment operations.

How thick can the printed booklet be?

The pocket features a dedicated gusset, and the main spine has a double crease. These can be adjusted during structural design to accommodate specific booklet thicknesses, but the exact dimensions should be confirmed before production.

What happens if my booklet is thicker than standard?

The central spine and the pocket gusset can be adjusted during structural design. Knowing the exact page count and paper weight early ensures the folder closes flat.

Can I mail this wallet directly?

The wallet provides presentation and organization but minimal crush protection. It should be placed inside a rigid paperboard envelope or corrugated mailer for postal or courier delivery.

What type of paperboard is usually chosen for this design?

A premium folding boxboard (FBB) or solid bleached sulfate (SBS) is often chosen. The material needs excellent fold endurance to prevent the spine from cracking and sufficient tear resistance to hold the CDs in the slits.

Can I print on the inside of the pockets?

Because the pockets fold inward from the main blank, the visible interior faces of the pockets share the same printed side as the outer covers. This makes it highly efficient to carry graphics into the inside presentation.

Are these delivered flat or pre-glued?

They are typically die-cut, folded, and glued by the manufacturer, then delivered flat to your fulfillment center ready for media insertion.
