I mean, I know they care about the Enviroment and stuff, but what's the REAL reason that they make their CDs in Cardboard sleeves???

I've always figured it was just so it had more of a vinyl album look to it. But does it even matter? As long as they keep putting them out, I'll buy them. They could be wrapped in leaves for all I care.0

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-120 -
It is a mix between being enviornmentaly friendly and having a vinyl look to them. I like the cardboard cases so much better than plastic anyway so keep em coming.He who forgets will be destined to remember.

I kinda wished they went back to CD/Jewel Cases, then cardboard. Cause cardboard does tend to scratch up your cds. Yes, cardboard is cheaper, enviromently friendly etc.. but the safest way to store you cd's is jewel casing.0

I agree, or at least those half cardboard/plastic cases that hold the cd, like Binural case, i hate when CDs skip0 -
I prefer plastic.
CD's scratch in the cardboard.
And they easily fall out.

True. I think TEN was the only Pearl Jam CD that came in Plastic case, other than the singles "ALIVE, JEREMY, EVEN FLOW" Etc..0 -

Vs was in plastic.
And Yield/Avocado are cardboard but the CD sat in the plastic.Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/20140 -
VS had a couple of cardboard cases when it first came out. But you're right, i have it on a Plastic case.
Yield and Avocado have the cases that i prefer...oh , and RIOT ACT too0 -
I actually prefer the cases that the 10C Avocado and Backspacer came in. As well as Into the Wild. Come to think of it, didn't Binaural and Riot Act had plastic holders for the CD in the cardboard case?He who forgets will be destined to remember.

i'd say cardboard sleeves are cheaper to produce.
and i'm not completely convinced that cardboard sleeves are tons and tons more environmentally friendly than plastic: the cardboard hasta come from somewhere.0 -
