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, Photo4x6, Photo5x7.

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,

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.

You may have noticed that the website is constantly changing.

For most of our products we recently changed from a “flat” layout to a tabbed layout. This allows us to provide you with more product details while not overwhelming the viewer.

We may add a “Photos” tab to some product pages in the future to show how different products look like in different settings and applications. Are we missing anything?

The latest improvement allows customers to select whether to receive either free dividers and labels or 5 free sleeves when purchasing a kit. Especially for re-orders most customers already have enough labels and dividers but can certainly use the extra sleeves.

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

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.

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!
