Let us review top popular DVD disk cases, standard DVD case dimensions and the options RonyaSoft offers to you.
Keep case
Keep case, which is created first by Amaray, is a standard DVD case made of black opaque plastic, however transparent and color versions are possible. Each case can keep up to 4 disks. The standard measurements of a DVD case is 184 mm х 130 mm and 14 mm thick or 7.2 in × 5.1 in and 0.6 in thick. The case provides proper protection for the disks and holds them fast, no matter what happens. The plastic which is used for keep case is much softer and less rigid than the one used for jewel cases. Thus the box is much more durable and lasting.
RonyaSoft offers various keep case templates which meet the standard DVD case size. The editor allows you to change background picture, text blocks and add all necessary information. The side margin is used to indicate essential disk data in short (title, years, special notes).

Snap case – is a type of DVD and CD case which is made of thick multi-layer cardboard with specific plastic disk holders. This type of disk case is not as popular.
