Hi~
Does anyone know if it would be a problem for schools and libraries to buy
a DVD that is packaged in eco-packing/sleeves (the size of a CD jacket)
instead of the traditional plastic DVD cases?

If the question you are asking is, Do we repackage DVDs, rather than use
the vendor's cases, yes, most of us do that. We discard or give away the
case that the DVD was shipped to us with, and keep the DVD in a locked
security case.
Some libraries may not have the locking case, but they likely
Hi,
Are you talking about paper or cardboard sleeves/pockets, or traditional jewel
cases for cds. In either case, we would end up repackaging it. If it was for

maybe the sleeve would be ok, but even then, I would
We have had a few mistakenly reshelved with CD or CD-ROM collections.
Eco-friendly packaging is a great idea, but is it sufficiently rugged for
library circulation? Are the sides closed to protect the disk as it
travels? What do you think the use will be for for your title? High or
low? How
Hi Nellie~
Thank you for your response and questions.
I don't think that the packaging I'm considering using is rugged enough for
library circulation but it seems that many libraries repackage the DVD in
their own sturdy plastic packaging. I think that if filmmakers knew this,
they wouldn't bother
Thank you --
that's what I thought.
Therefore it doesn't make a lot of sense using the traditional DVD plastic
packages if you will be replacing them anyway...
it's a waste. So, I'll do my part with helping climate change and print my
DVDs in the small eco-friendly packaging you see here.
Good afternoon videolib,
Although I know the vast majority of this group works in university libraries,
I was wondering if any public librarians or others in the know had any insight
into the PLA Conference. We have a sizable public library customer base, thanks

I believe many of you received DVDs from us in unusual packing.
When I started Docs for education I sent the DVDs in envelopes padded with
bubble sheath, (made in China) bought from the post office.
I got complaints that the casing arrived damaged and DVDs scratched so I
started to pack in
