DVD Cover Printing
High quality DVD cover printing with vibrant colour, premium materials, and a perfect professional finish every time.
Premium DVD Cover Printing for Every Project
At CMYK Printing, we specialise in DVD cover printing for businesses, musicians, videographers, and independent film producers throughout the UK. Whether you are promoting a new release, producing a wedding film, or creating branded content, our printed DVD covers help present your work with a professional finish that lasts.
Printed on smooth 170gsm silk stock, each cover is trimmed to exact size and produced using advanced digital presses. The result is rich, detailed colour reproduction and a perfect fit for standard DVD cases. Our printing process ensures your artwork remains sharp, consistent, and true to your original design.
You can upload artwork directly through our website or send it later. Every file is checked by our in-house team before production to guarantee it meets print standards. If your artwork needs adjustments, we'll let you know before printing so you can make changes.
Slim or Standard?
The difference is the spine, and it's determined by the case you're using rather than by preference.
- Standard — 272 x 183mm finished. The traditional 14mm DVD case, which is what most retail and commercially produced discs use.
- Slim — 268 x 183mm finished. The 7mm case, common for promotional discs, short runs and anything being posted, since it's lighter and cheaper to send.
Measure the case you've bought before ordering. A standard cover in a slim case won't fit, and a slim cover in a standard case leaves a gap down the spine.
Getting the Spine Right
The spine is where DVD cover artwork most often goes wrong, and it's worth a moment before you send the file.
On a slim case the spine is around 7mm wide; on a standard case it's around 14mm. That's not much room for a title, so keep spine text short, set it at a weight that stays legible small, and centre it carefully — a spine title that drifts a millimetre or two off centre is obvious once the case is closed.
Avoid running a background colour change exactly along the spine fold. Trimming tolerances mean the join can shift slightly, and a hard colour break at the fold shows it. A single background colour across the spine is far more forgiving.
