In January 2009, JVC approached MMDesign and asked us to provide a custom storage solution for the media management for their high end broadcast camera. The solution to their media managment would be a clear sleeve that would hold 1 SDHC card and a 3×5 notecard. The 3×5 card would allow for notes referencing the shoot information on the SDHC card and would be legible through the clear polypropylene of the sleeve.

Over the next 5 months MMDesign and JVC worked together in developing a sleeve as well as a storage case to hold the sleeves. The final product included the new ProHD sleeve made out of clear polypropylene that held 3 SDHC cards, a single 3×5 notecard, alphabetical dividers and a small lockable storage case with a 50 sleeve capacity. All of these products were customized to fit JVC’s needs and featured their logo as well.

The DiscSox POLY sleeve has now been replaced with the new DiscSox Classic “Poly” sleeve.   Like the original DiscSox Poly sleeve, the new Classic sleeve is now made from environmentally friendly, archival-safe, 100% recyclable polypropylene material. 

By combining the best features of both sleeves; the greener material of the DiscSox Poly, and the easy and unique side insertion design of the DiscSox Classic, customers will now have the ideal sleeve.  

For additional information about the new Discsox Classic Poly sleeve visit our website http://www.mmdesign.com/products/classic-poly-sleeve.php

Thank you,

Vanessa

Most of our customers order either our 12″ DiscSox Clear Tray for CDs or DVDs, or our 12″ DiscSox Metal Trays for the same, to store their DiscSox sleeves, but we also sell to customers who purchase “just” sleeves.  So that brings us to the question…’where are our customers storing their DiscSox sleeves’?  We realize some customers have custom-made drawers that do not require trays, but this certainly does not include everyone.

Because most of our sales are made through our website, we don’t get the opportunity to personally talk to all of our customers, so we would really like to hear from you, and find out how you’re storing your DiscSox sleeves if not in one of our trays, cases or cabinets.  

Since our Vintage cases have been discontinued for now, we’d like to expand our DiscSox product line to include more decorative containers, so any comments or feedback from you, our customer, for what you would like to see added to our assortment would be very helpful as we design new items to hold DiscSox sleeves.    

Please send your comments to vanessa.oconnor@discsox.com 

Thank you for your help!

Just a couple of days ago, Patent No 7,458,459 has been granted for our DVD2 and CD Pro sleeves.  Now most of the DiscSox sleeves do have have patent protection.

This includes: DVD Pro Poly, HiDef Pro, DVD2, CD Pro, Game Pro Poly, Game Pro PS3, Game, Video-CD, Photo4×6, Photo5×7.

Why is this important as an end-user?
A patent ensures that you that you are looking at a product that is innovative, unique, highly functional and has been thoroughly scrutinized by an independent party (the Patent and Trademark Office).

Also, we are constantly innovating and improving our designs. As an example, we just switched the DVD Pro from a vinyl based material to environmentally friendly polypropylene. At the same time, we were able to lower the price by about 15%, which is quite unusual in this market…

Also, we are in the process of making the transition to polypropylene for all our sleeves, which requires quite an investment in new tooling.  It is not as simple as it sounds, because DiscSox sleeves do have very tight tolerances and are very complex compared to most sleeves on the market.

Stay tuned,

This new sleeve is really slick, and it’s made out of polypropylene.  So what’s the big deal about that?

DVD Pro Poly Sleeve

DVD Pro Poly Sleeve

Well, for one, this is 100% recyclable material. The DVD Pro Poly is environmentally-friendly and durable, and the matte poly material makes it easier to read the movie graphics inside the sleeve.  And, the black poly fabric provides great protection for the playing surface of the disc.  The other nice thing about the sleeve is that it provides archival-quality disc protection and protects both sides of the disc.

The best thing about this new sleeve is that it’s 15% cheaper than its predecessor, the DVD Pro “vinyl” sleeve.  At a time when we’re all feeling the pinch, it’s nice to have a little cost-relief for something that is quickly becoming a defacto standard in disc protection.

You may have noticed that the CD Pro Sleeves have changed slightly with the newest version. There are two improvements:

  1. The opening for inserting the tray card moved from the right to the left side of the sleeve.Why the change? -  It improves the ease of use
    Customers are used to insert CDs, booklets etc from the right into DiscSox Sleeves.
    When inserting a tray card, one typically turns the sleeve over. So for consistency, the opening should again be on the right when the sleeve is turned over. That means when the CD Pro is viewed from the front, the opening for the tray card has to be on the left.
  2. The pocket that holds the tray card is only partially sealed at the bottom.Why the change? -  It makes inserting tray cards easier
    DiscSox sleeves always had pockets with a partially sealed edges for storing the actual CDs or booklets.  It makes it a lot easier to access content if the edge can be lifted up.
    If a pocket is sealed all the way on three sides, it is not easy to get to the content. This is why we partially seal the lower edge of the rear pocket that holds the tray card.

Have you ever wondered how to store all the discs of a TV series?

4 Disc Wallet

4 Disc Wallets

Here is the answer: We just introduced the new 4 Disc Wallets.

The wallets hold an additional 4 discs and slide right into the DVD Pro Poly and HiDef Pro Sleeves.

DVD Pro with 4 disc wallet

Wallet in DVD Pro Sleeve

So for example the DVD Pro Sleeve now holds a movie poster, the outer wrap and a total of 6 DVDs.

In case you need to store more discs in a single sleeve, you can actually add more than one wallet to a sleeve. This is another unique feature of the DiscSox Sleeves you will find nowhere else!
