We only replace DVD cases when they're not standard. So for us,
ironically enough, the eco-friendly packaging is probably the least
eco-friendly, since we discard and replace those with typical dvd cases
that adequately protect the material.
Mileage will vary,

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~

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.
