Producing a Boxed Set?

Roger Cox asks: "You've probably seen them in the 'cheap cd' section at your local store. They are all over the place anymore. Box Sets. CDs/DVDs in a nicely designed 'box'. I happen to work for a music group overseas who has out 5 full length albums out in the US. With the band's permission I was given the ok to put the 5 releases in a box set format. Despite how readily available box sets appear to be at stores, where does one go online to get pricing for such a box. Almost an entire week of researching this with search engines has turned up nothing but junk. The problem is 'box' appears to be widely associated with cardboard shipping boxes, which also are available to be 'custom printed'. I figure if I can buy a 2 DVD box set of the Little Rascals at Walmart for $5.88, it should not be this hard to find a source to do the packaging. Any pointers?"

    Just because a label or promoter is not interested in their work does not mean it is not worth being published in a box set. There are lots of small bands who's CD's I own who I would gladly buy a box set from if one was available.
