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,

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.

The education version will be posted on Friday if you'd like to
purchase one:)

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 use
sturdy
cases that all match, not the flimsy cases that many DVDs are sold in.
Best,
