CD & Vinyl Specs

[GIGART]

Can someone please give me the standard sizes in inches for a CD Cover and a Vinyl Album. I plan to add an 1/8 inch bleed to whatever dimensions are standard.

I am setting up some artwork for both.

The CD Cover would be an insert into a jewel case.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure the CD is 4.75 x 4.75 with bleed would be 5 x 5 inch.

Just need someone to clarify that...

And I guess vinyl depends on where you are printing it?
Maybe not a standard size?

Any help is appreciated....

[standard]

the problem with vinyl sleeves (i recently discovered) is that diff. places are set up for different card thicknesses and stuff, which affects the spine width. at least i assume that's the reason. i set up a layout on one random template before the client had settled on a printer, then when i dragged it into the right template later, i had to jiggle stuff 'round.

* not a lot, mind you... but there isn't a lot of room for error on a record spine. they tiny.

Yeah I am finding that out...I will wait to see where they are printing the vinyl...
As for the cd, do I have the correct specs....?

[standard]

i don't know CD offhand... i'd just grab the discmaker templates. lots of smaller duplicators swipe their templates, too.

Yeah that was my plan...but after all of this, I think I should wait until the band gets me the places they plan to print them at...they wanted the artwork set up now, but they didn't have the place yet. I just told them to wait until they know, and I will set it up.

I didn't know sizes could vary for similar items.

Thanks for the help.
