DVD Case Template for Memorex Slim Cases? at DVinfo.net

I have the Memorex Slim Case labels. Does anyone know where I can find a template for that to use in Photoshop or the software "Disc Cover"

Thanks. I've looked for way too long now.

Hi Kelly

If it helps I make my own!!! I too searched far and wide for any templates and came up with nothing.
What I do is create a graphic around 600 x 900 pixels and draw 3 boxes inside in..one for the front, one for the back and one for the spine. Then zap a copy off on your printer in draft mode so you have an printed hard copy of the template and cut it out and test for size...make adjustments as needed until it fits nicely and then save it as a blank template.

As I do weddings I just insert the pics and text into my boxes as required. Simple and it works every time. You will probably have to print off quite a few initial "blanks" as you adjust but it uses virtually no ink in draft mode!!! Mine is for standard DVD cases so all you need to do for slimline's is make the spine very narrow!!

I concur. The critical element with these is the position of any text on the spine. It helps if you can leave yourself some fudge room round the edges.
