Corrugated Card Cases?

To have the CD case of my zine made of corrugated cardboard may not be the best stock. The "corrugated" part means that when at the correct width, the spine of the CD is positioned on a single arch of corrugation (for want of better words).

Despite being the right size, this gives the spine a flimsy aesthetic, which is something that the client does not want. Its a shame because the stock itself is very effective - robust, hands on and individually crafted.

I experimented with making the spine wide enough to be on two of the arches of the corrugation. Although this made the spine as sturdy as could be, its just looks too wide and does not fit in fixed CD holders with individual slots.

Ees jass too beeg.
