• cover : face avant d'un boîtier CD
• tray card : partie arrière d'un boîtier CD démontable (avec précaution)

Les boîtiers CD minces, d'épaisseur moitié, ne comportent pas de partie arrière démontable, de sorte que seule la face capot avant peut être utilisée.

L'option “Create Envelope for CD/DVD” génère une découpe pliable utilisable comme enveloppe pour un CD/DVD.

Les jaquettes intérieures pour les DVD sont créées en un livret pliable de deux pages. Les jaquettes extérieures sont similaires, sauf qu'elles ont également un dos. Notez que les encarts pour DVD peuvent ne pas tenir sur du papier A4 et qu'un papier de plus grande taille peut être nécessaire.

La liste des éléments est imprimée comme table des matières du CD. Chaque élément occupe une ligne à part entière, chaque ligne vide compte comme un élément, ce qui produit un saut de ligne dans la sortie. L'ajout de lignes vides entre les éléments ou à la fin de la liste permet d'aligner le contenu dans des colonnes. Pour mettre en retrait un élément particulier, ajoutez des espaces au début de la ligne. Chaque élément peut être imprimé avec une police normale, en gras, en italique ou en italique gras en utilisant des codes dans la première colonne de l'élément (voir les exemples ci-dessous).

Les éléments sont imprimés sur plusieurs colonnes. Si l'élément dépasse la taille de la colonne, le texte de l'élément sera tronqué, à moins que l'option “Activer la mise à l'échelle des éléments” ne soit cochée, auquel cas tout l'élément sera mis à l'échelle pour tenir dans la colonne (notez que pour les textes d'éléments très volumineux, cela peut rendre l'élément illisible).

Si le nombre d'éléments est important, il peut être utile de sélectionner l'option “Omettre le titre et le sous-titre sur le plateau”, pour libérer de l'espace pour les éléments.

Cette interface en ligne produit des documents en format PostScript ou PDF. Le fichier PostScript peut être imprimé sur une imprimante PostScript, le fichier PDF sur n'importe quelle imprimante si le logiciel Adobe Acrobat Reader est installé sur votre PC. Cette interface en ligne produit également une image GIF en noir et blanc non imprimable, mais suffisamment bonne pour être examinée. Vous pouvez donc continuer à modifier vos données en essayant diverses combinaisons dans le formulaire web jusqu'à ce que vous soyez satisfait de l'aspect de l'image.

Le texte d'entrée de cdlabelgen est supposé être au format ISO Latin1.

The online interface supports creating barcode logos, so this tool can be used as a barcode generator also, in addition to printing CD/DVD inserts with barcodes. The results page shows an output GIF of the insert with the barcode, and it also contains a link to just the barcode in an PostScript file.

Many forms of barcodes are supported including the very common QR code and Code 39 types. The drop-down list in the online interface for this tool shows all supported types.

Barcode information:

• Google Favorie Places QR code
• Wikipedia: QR code
• Wikipedia: Code 39
• GD::Barcode::Image is the Perl module used for barcode generation.

Here are some examples that show how the output looks based on various input combinations, and some tips on using this program.

• Pictures of all Logos/Images available.
• Pictures of all CD/DVD Inserts Examples (described below):

  • Example1 GIF
  • Example2 GIF
  • Example2 GIF - Folding Cover
  • Example3 GIF
  • Example4 GIF
  • Example4 GIF - CD Envelope
  • Example5 GIF - DVD Inside Insert
  • Example5 GIF - DVD Outside Insert
  • Example6 GIF - CD/DVD Label
  • Exampl6 GIF - CD/DVD Label
• Inserts Example 1: Example1 PDF, Example1 GIF.
  Small number of items, Title, and Subtitle, with a Linux Penguin image as backgound image on the cover, and color recycle image as a logo on tray card, for a normal CD case.
• Inserts Example 2: Example2 PDF, Example2 GIF, Folding cover - Example2 PDF, Folding cover - Example2 GIF.
  Large (151) number of items, No title, but Subtitle used, with MP3 image as a logo on the cover, and “Music Notes 2” image as background on tray card, for a normal CD case using a single page cover insert. Also shown is same example, but for a slim CD case using a folding two page cover insert.
  Even if you have a normal CD case, you may wish to print both types of inserts if you want a folding two-page front cover insert instead of a single page insert for the cover in addition to the tray card.
• Inserts Example 3: Example3 PDF, Example3 GIF.
  60 items with some bold-italic, No title, but Subtitle present, with “Music Notes 1” image as background on the cover, no image or logo on the tray card, for a normal CD case. Here are the codes to use to change the font for an item - this code must appear in the first column of the item's line, the code itself is not printed in the output.
  {#BI} - make the item bold and italic
  {#I} - make the item italic
  {#B} - make the item bold
  {#M} - make the item monospaced
  {#MB} - make the item monospaced and bold
• Inserts Example 4: Example4 PDF, Example4 GIF.
  Very large (216) number of items, Title, and Subtitle used on the cover, but no Title or Subtitle printed on the tray card. Half the items are printed on the cover, rest on the tray. Items are printed using a variable size font, scaled down as necessary to make the entire item line fit in the column.
• Envelope Example 4e: Example4 PDF - Envelope, Example4 GIF - Envelope.
  Very large (216) number of items, Title, and Subtitle used on the cover, but no Title or Subtitle printed on the tray card. All items printed on cover (front of envelope), none on the tray (rear of envelope). Items are truncated as necessary, and all items are printed using same size font.
• Inserts Example 5: Example5 PDF - DVD Inside, Example5 GIF - DVD Inside, Example5 PDF - DVD Outside, Example5 GIF - DVD Outside,
  Large (151) number of items, No title, but Subtitle used, with MP3 image as a logo on the cover, and “Music Notes 2” image as background on tray card, for a DVD case using a folding two page cover insert for the inside, or a insert with a spine for the outside.
• Label Example 6: This is not an insert, but for printing directly on a CD or DVD. [As of today, the online interface does not have the option of printing directly on a CD or DVD.] Example6a PDF - CD/DVD Label, Example6a GIF - CD/DVD Label, Example6b PDF - DVD Label, Example6b GIF - DVD Label,
  Example 6a item list, Example 6b item list.
  Example6a GIF - CD/DVD Label was created using this command options:

  cdlabelgen --clip-items --no-tray-plaque --date "this can be a very longstring printed curved at bottom ... this can be a very long string ... this canbe a very long string" -c 'Collection 12' -s "list of english songs on cd" --tray-image "mp3.eps" --tray-image-scaleratio 0.5,-0.5,2 --cover-image "music2.eps"--cover-image-scaleratio 0.0 --page-offset 0.5,0.5 -f example5.txt -o example6a.ps --line-width 0 --create-cdlabel

  Example6b GIF - CD/DVD Label was created using this command options:

  cdlabelgen --clip-items --no-tray-plaque --date "this string will print curved at bottom" -s "linux distribution files" --tray-image "penguin.eps" --tray-image-scaleratio 0.2,-3.5,1.8 --cover-image "dvdlogo.eps" --cover-image-scaleratio 0.1,-0.6,2.1 --page-offset 0.5,0.5 -f example6.txt --cover-items 12 -o example6b.ps --create-cdlabel

• The Image options can either be used as background, or as logos. If used as background, the image is printed as background – it is scaled as needed, along its width and height, to fit the entire cover or tray card area. If used as logo, the image is printed normally on the cover or tray card (or inside cover), without any scaling.
  For the Online Interface, users can supply their own color JPEG files to be used as backgrounds or logos. [ There is a file size limitation, currently 600Kbytes is the maximum size of the data that can be received from this form.]
  Since the background images may be scaled in both width and height, if the image aspect ratio is not close to 1.0, the aspect ratio of the cover, they will not look very good in the output. Very small images will also look blocky since they may be scaled up drastically. [To be exact: for CDs, the size of the cover is 4.75“ x 4.72”, at 150 dpi it comes to 712 x 708 pixels. Tray card size is 5.4“ x 4.63”.]
• If you have a large number of items (over 100), make sure the items are very short - two to four words maximum, otherwise longer items may not be legible on the printout.
  Also, the maximum number of items that can be used is around 250-300 - if more than 250-300 are entered, only the first 250-300 lines will show up in the table of contents. In this case, use the “Print half the items on cover” option – this will use both the cover and tray for printing the table of contents.
• Help: Printout is not the correct size!
  Your printer or printer driver settings are most likely the source of this problem - they may be set to perform scaling, which will result in a invalid printout.
  Adobe Acrobat Reader: When printing, there may be “Shrink oversized pages to Paper Size” option in the “Postscript Options” or “Copies and Adjustments” section - if this option exists, make sure it is unchecked.
  This software prints standard CD insert sizes:
  Cover: 4.75“ x 4.72”
  Tray: 5.4“ x 4.6” Tray End Caps: 0.25“ and 0.38”
  Envelope: 4.875“ x 4.9”
  This software prints standard DVD insert sizes:
  Cover/Tray (Inside Insert): 4.823“ x 7.185”
  Cover/Tray (Outside Insert): 10.823“ x 7.188”, includes spine: 0.562“
  If you need a non-standard size, you'll need to install and modify the software to meet your requirements.
  If the output seems scaled down (both cover/tray equally incorrect), it is most likely some setting in your printer driver or printer itself that is causing the problem.
  Note: CD/DVD Envelope or DVD inside and outside printouts may not fit in Letter or A4 sized paper - these may be cropped unless a larger paper is used to print them. These may also require use of the -y option which can be used to move the whole printout up or down on the page.
• Need Additional Features?
  The web interface to cdlabelgen only offers the most common usage options. For additional requirements, including:
  the ability to specify color for the plaque background, title, subtitle, or list of items,
  the ability to scale the tray background image to fill just the interior tray (and not the end-caps),
  the ability to print entire table of contents on the cover,
  the ability to print arbitrary number of items on cover or on tray,
  the ability print a date or custom text as part of the title,
  etc.,
  you can download the source code for this package, and use the cdlabelgen and cdinsert.pl scripts directly, here's the cdlabelgen man page. The source code is in Perl and PostScript, and using it requires knowledge of Unix, Perl, Web Scripts, and optionally, PostScript. If you are not familiar with such tools, the source code will not be of any help to you – please note that there is no technical support available for cdlabelgen/cdinsert.

• The latest version of cdlabelgen is 4.2.0, and the source code archive includes the cdinsert.pl web script used for this Online Interface. The package version 4.3.0 includes the simpler web script cdinsert-ps.pl and cdlabelgen-form.html: cdlbl430.zip - ZIP Archive or cdlabelgen-4.3.0.tgz - GZIPed TAR Archive or cdlabelgen-4.3.0-1.noarch.rpm - RPM package (if .rpm fails to install, use the source ZIP or TAR archive above).
  The actual cdlabelgen program has more features than are supported through this online web interface, here's the cdlabelgen man page with complete details.
  Latest releases of this program are also announced at the cdinsert page at freshmeat.net.
• GTKcdlabel a GTK+ frontend to cdlabelgen, also has CDDB support.
• cdlabelgen only accepts PostScript EPS files for background images, it does not accept JPEG images.
  Use the jpeg2ps utility at the PDFlib page. to convert JPEG files to PostScript.
• barcodegen is a utility can be used to create EPS files of barcode images, which can then be provided as input to cdlabelgen for overlaying on the tray images, similar to the way cdinsert.pl processes the Online CD/DVD Inserts and Envelopes web page.
  barcodegen can be installed using the CPAN perl GD::Barcode::Image module.
• All the input text to cdlabelgen is assumed to be in ISO Latin1 format. The PostScript file output by cdlabelgen can be piped through ogonkify to use other character encodings, if needed.
• More utilities for generation of Paper CD / Origami CD Cases available at http://www.tgries.de/origami/
• Port for Atari (and compatible) running the Atari FreeMiNT OS available as a SpareMiNT rpm package on sparemint.atariforge.net, ported by Martin Tarenskeen.
