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,

24 Divider Set

You can also organize by genre, grouping music categories such as Classical, Jazz, Pop/Rock, and movie categories such as Comedy, Drama, Documentary, and then affix the group names that you need onto blank dividers.  We offer 96 music or movie pre-printed labels, and these can be found at http://www.mmdesign.com/products/labels.htm#musiclabels.

Depending on how large your collection is, though, you might want to organize by genre and by alphabet.  For example, we ourselves have five different genres of music, and within each genre, we organize the discs by alphabet. You can alphabetize with either the DiscSox 5-Blank/Alphabetical Divider sets, which includes A-C, D-G, H-M, N-S, T-Z,
DVD Pro 5 Divider Set or with the DiscSox 24-Blank/Alphabetical Divider sets.  All DiscSox dividers can be turned upside down and used as BLANK dividers.

If you need more specialized label IDs, you can easily find Avery blank clear labels at the office supply store, and create your own with your home printer.

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.

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!
