Movie Packaging

Movie packaging includes visually appealing and protective cover wraps, slip cases and boxes. With Taylor, these not only preserve the DVDs and Blu-Rays, but also capture the essence of the film to make an engaging first impression for the viewer.

Paperboard Packaging

Paperboard is an excellent choice for media packaging because of its versatility, durability and eco-friendliness. In addition to being used for vinyl records, CDs, and DVDs and Blu Rays, paperboard packaging is perfect for video game packaging and software packaging.

Custom Vinyl LP Packaging

Music fans who buy vinyl know LP jackets can be just as important as the
record it holds. Taylor understands the importance of high-quality packaging, not
only to protect the vinyl but also to enhance the overall listening experience.

That’s why we offer a variety of custom LP packaging solutions that create added
layers of interaction and engagement.
