What paper should I use for tray cards?

Use matte or glossy photo paper (around 200gsm) for best results. Regular printer paper works but won't have the same feel as commercial inserts.

Can I include spine text?

Yes, the tray card generator includes automatic spine text formatting that fits the standard 6.5mm jewel case spine width.

Does this work with slim jewel cases?

This template is designed for standard jewel cases. Slim cases have a narrower spine and may require manual adjustment.
