Default How do you deliver wedding photos on DVDs to clients?
How do you deliver wedding photos to clients if all you deliver are the photos on DVDs?

When I deliver prints I always feel that I have more tangible products to deliver but I have nothing when I deliver clients' wedding pictures on DVDs. At least this is the way I feel. You know what I mean...?

How can I make the DVDs more stylish? I know, I can lightscribe them. I can label them, etc. But how should I package them? Is there a store/website with nice stylish packaging materials for wedding photos on DVD? I am not really looking for the old style cheese plastic wedding covers. I am looking for something more modern and stylish...

I hope it helps others as well.

Generally, you spend a bit of preparation time.

How do you package your CDs/DVDs?

CDs/DVDs- how do you present them?

Ran into a similar thought process when I first started doing weddings, then one of my favorite wedding photographers gave me the solution:

Package a wedding album in with your CD package.

It doesn't have to be anything super-complex or expensive...a 20-30 page MyPublisher book with the best photos of the day is usually sufficient, and takes about 3-4 hours to put together. Shipping is super-fast...I've gotten books back in as little as 3 days. They always have lots of coupons, so the books end up being pretty cheap.

Is there something less time consuming? I just want to send the photos in a nice packaging without designing a small book....

I second mpixpro , they have great dvd cases, you can custom print them, wont take too long to design a cover, make sure you stick your contact details on the back, the customers will probably be showing every one.

I simply burn them onto custom-printed DVD's, and put them into a white CD tin i have sourced seperatley.
like this
I also box up a full set of 4X6" prints. ...bigger packages include an enlargement.

Go to Miller's Professional Imaging and register. They have great packaging for CD's! and they are super fast and reasonably priced!

Good luck!
