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?"

Sometimes the thing you need is to know what the right word is to use. You didn't want "Box", you wanted "Packaging".

I don't know if this will help.

The companies that do speciality packaging aren't generally the online type of company.

Assuming you want reasonable quantities (like maybe 100,000), go to www.smythco.com, or call them and ask for sales.

Disclosure, I work for them.
