What it is

CrackCover makes covers for the discs you burn yourself: mixtapes, home videos, holiday photos and backups.

Pick a case, drop in a photo and a title, and every part is designed at once: the front, the back with the tracklist, the spines and the disc label. Point it at a folder of music and the tracklist fills itself. Pick one of six styles, turn the case in 3D, save a picture of it, then print. CrackCover prints at exactly the real size with cut and fold marks, and after one printer check it lands to the millimetre.
