Dimensions

This template is designed around the original full-size MiniDisc jewel case format:

• Front cover panel: 72.9mm × 104.9mm (2.87 × 4.13 in.)
• Roll-fold sheet: up to 6 panels, each fold slightly narrower than the last
• Full 6-panel sheet: 427.9mm × 104.9mm (16.85 × 4.13 in.)

These dimensions fit the taller first-generation MiniDisc jewel cases commonly used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

This generator automatically formats your artwork, album information, artist names, and metadata into a printable MiniDisc front cover insert.

Why MiniDisc covers?

MiniDisc packaging had a unique look that sat somewhere between CDs and futuristic portable technology. The cases were compact, colorful, and highly customizable.

Unlike streaming services, a MiniDisc cover gives a playlist a physical identity. Whether you're making a mixtape, archiving a live recording, or recreating a favorite album, the artwork becomes part of the experience.

For many collectors, the cover insert is the first thing they see when browsing a shelf of MiniDiscs.

Why did you make this?

After building tools for VHS tapes, cassette labels, CDs, and vinyl packaging, a lot of people asked about MiniDisc support.

MiniDisc has one of the most passionate collector communities in physical media, but there aren't many tools for creating properly sized inserts.

This generator makes it easy to create covers that fit real MiniDisc jewel cases without having to manually build templates in Photoshop.
