39219 2002-03-14 21:00:00 OK, so now that I know where to get cheap CDs, the problem is that they do not (?) come with cases or covers. Right? The ones that I have seen such as the Melody brand, and others, are in a stack of 25 or 50, but without protective covers. Dick Smith has the flexible thin plastic envelopes but they are 10 for $12.95 = a rip off! The 2 Dollar shops only have them in a wallet, and hard plastic covers are around a dollar each = the same as a CD. So what is a cheap source of protective covers (aside from folding paper origami-like and making your own)?? Thanks. Guest (0)
39220 2002-03-14 21:34:00 I tend to just buy the CDs that come in a case already. I usually get 700MB Verbatims $15 for 10 in full size jewel cases.

39221 2002-03-14 21:49:00 For the PC world mag CD's, and any other CD's that arrive in a plastic sleeve only (eg driver cd's), I use a CD Rom storage file from the Warehouse. Cost 10 bucks, holds 48. I make that around 20 cents per cd. Guest (0)
39222 2002-03-15 03:14:00 I make my own. I made an envelope template in Publisher and just change the text and print it off. A quick snip with the scissors and a swipe with the glue stick and...Voila! A customised, labelled cd sleeve. What's the point of spending all that dosh on a puter if you ain't gonna use the thing?

39223 2002-03-15 03:27:00 Go into something like Word or Works and create a paper sleeve to suit your own needs or visit some of the music shops and ask about the paper sleeves they use under the counter. When I was still living in NZ, I got 500 sleeves from a music shop in chch for under $10, you will have to ask about as some won't sell them. Guest (0)
39224 2002-03-15 07:52:00 I got a beautiful little two-ring binder complete with a set of cd sleeves and coloured divider tabs from Denpasar, Bali, last year for just 11,400rp ($2.50).

I am still kicking myself for not buying half a dozen more when I had the chance instead of thinking I could buy some more somewhere else if it was any good. Of course, I never saw any more anywhere else.

Anyone going to Bali for a holiday this year.....? ;-)
