Got princess arete today in the post, is this the first time they've printed the info sheet onto the actual box? I actually quite like it, I think it looks nice like that but dont recall any other release from AL doing it this way, im just super glad the spine is nice and clean
It really depends on the materials we have available - if we have lots of great artwork that we want to use, then we'd rather use that on the rigid case and then include all the series/film info on an "onsert" (aka the separate info shoot) so that we can make full use of that artwork and create a gorgeous-looking Collector's Edition.
Where there isn't a whole lot of artwork to work with for the outer packaging (Genius Party and Princess Arete being two recent examples of that), then we'll usually opt to feature all of that information directly on the outer case itself instead.
