| If it suits your needs, our expert
in-house studio can provide full design and production of
both labels and covers, in addition to production. Alternatively,
you can use our template to develop your own design.
In short, you can count on EntertainOne’s exacting standards
to deliver precisely the professional packaging presentation
you require for your video, from start to finish – whatever
your needs.
Your DVD will be packaged in a standard black Amaray-style
case, with a full color cover wrapped around the front, back
and spine. The front and back of the case can be customized
with your own image(s) and/or information.
We use a similar black plastic case for your VHS, and a similar
wrap-around cover, based upon the same image as your DVD.
You have a choice when it comes to your cover image or images:
You can use one image to cover the entire case
OR
You can use separate images for the front and back covers
NOTE: If you choose not to provide a front cover image, we
will use a text-only layout. However, since this results in
a somewhat stark, unprofessional presentation, we strongly
recommend the use of artwork if possible.
Whether you are preparing an image for your DVD or for your
VHS cover, EntertainOne’s design template makes the process
simple.

Please note that the dimensions for the DVD and VHS cases
are different.
- DVD: 3155 x 2086 pixels
- VHS: 2968 x 2236 pixels
The templates for both are similar, and easy to follow, using
Photoshop and a JPEG or GIF image. Please do not use animated
GIFs. The image dpi is ignored.
Paste your artwork on the ‘Place Artwork Here’ area.
The ‘guides’ layer is right above this layer, and
is set to 50%. Use this to line up your artwork with the front,
back and spine.
If you do not want the DVD/VHS logo on the cover, hide the
‘logo – spine’ and ‘logo – back’
layers.
Once complete, hide the ‘guides’ layer and save
in JPEG, with the quality set to ‘maximum’ (level
10).
NOTE: We cannot accept full cover images over 4 MB
We use the same image for both DVD and for VHS front covers.
PLEASE NOTE: This means you must avoid using any logos that
are specific to either DVD or VHS.
When you use a separate image for your front cover –
whether for DVD or for VHS - there will be a narrow white
border around the edge of the image.
Please note that the dimensions for the DVD and VHS cases
are different.
- DVD: 3155 x 2086 pixels
- VHS: 2968 x 2236 pixels
If you wish to compromise between the sizes, 1256 x 1997
pixels can work for both DVD and VHS covers.
In all instances, the maximum acceptable size is 1700 x 2675.
The maximum file size is 2 MB. All images must be JPEG or
GIF.
Since we use the same image for both DVD and VHS, you only
need to follow one template. The process is simple and straightforward,
using Photoshop.

The process is exactly the same as for a front cover image
with no text, with one exception:
Since the image does not fill the entire cover, the image
dimensions are different.
- DVD only: 1275 pixels wide x 1725
- VHS only: 1238 x 1762
- Compromise for DVD and VHS: 1256 X 1743
Since we use the same image for both DVD and VHS, remember
to avoid any logos that are specific to either format.
If you wish, you can also use a separate image on the top
two thirds of the back of your cover. The lower portion is
reserved for copyright information, barcode, etc.
If you do not supply an image for the back, we will use a
text-only layout, using the description and credits. This
can work well on the back cover, producing excellent text
print quality.
Please remember again that the dimensions for DVD and VHS
are slightly different:
- DVD only: 1275 pixels wide x 1725
- VHS only: 1238 x 1762
- Compromise for DVD and VHS: 1256 X 1743
Since we use the same image for both DVD and VHS, also remember
to avoid any logos that are specific to either format.
