A typical digipak will consist of either 4 or 6 panels, and will include the CD(s), track listing, album name, band name, barcode, and other additional information/features.
A 6 panel layout has far more room for design and information than a 4 panel layout, and so will usually contain more content. With a 6 panelled digipak, there tends to be more colours and images in the background due to the extent of room available, allowing the artist to display the alums message well through the artwork of the digipak, as well as the ability to make the design more creative and complex. A 4 panelled digipak, on the other hand, is usually more simplistic due to the limited room for design and so the image must stand out in order to catch the attention of its audience, as they rely on quality, not quantity.
