what is the difference between shrinkwrap and overwrap?
Often the plastic packaging on retail ready CD packages is referred to as ‘shrinkwrap’ when in fact it is ‘overwrap’. Overwrap is the industry standard for regular jewel box wrap, and is sometimes compared to cigarette packaging with it’s clean folds and seals on each side spine. Shrinkwrap is easily distinguished by it’s heat shrunk look and melted seal along the outer edges.
