You can purchase some CD cases, also called jewel cases, unassembled, leaving you to do the assembling. In fact, if you need the cases for CDs or DVDs containing software or music you've created, working with unassembled CD cases is best. That way you can add an information card or booklet to a case without the added step of opening it first. Whatever your situation, assembling CD cases is relatively simple.
Instructions
1. Connect the two halves of the CD case by carefully inserting the raised plastic joints on the left-hand half of the case into the sockets on the right-hand half of the case. You should hear a snap when the hinges come together if you do it correctly.
2. Decide which half of the CD case is going to be the bottom of the case. Place any back cover for the CD, such as a card listing the album tracks, on the bottom of the case facing outward.
3. Place any additional information for the CD, such as a card with the album title or a booklet with instructions for the software on the disc, on the top half of the CD holder. Position the card or booklet so you can read the front without needing to open the CD case once it's closed.
4. Place the plastic tray that holds the CD on top of the bottom half of the CD case, and then gently snap it into the case.
5. Close the CD case.
