MiniDisc Tray Card Maker

Create custom tray cards (back inserts) for full-size MiniDisc jewel cases. These inserts sit behind the disc tray and include the back artwork, tracklist, credits, and spine text visible from both sides of the case.

This template is designed for the original larger MiniDisc jewel cases, not the later compact square MD cases.

How to print MiniDisc Tray Cards

MiniDisc tray cards are relatively easy to print at home because they fit on standard paper sizes.

1. Print at 100% scale
2. Use glossy or semi-gloss paper for a more authentic look
3. Carefully trim along the crop marks
4. Fold the spine flaps before inserting behind the tray

Dimensions

This template is based on the original full-size MiniDisc jewel case tray card format:

• Left spine: 7mm × 102mm
• Back panel: 86mm × 102mm
• Right spine: 7mm × 102mm
• Total size: 100mm × 102mm

These dimensions are designed for the taller first-generation MiniDisc jewel cases commonly used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

This generator automatically formats your artwork, track listings, artist information, catalog numbers, and spine text into a printable MiniDisc tray card layout.

What is a MiniDisc Tray Card?

The tray card is the paper insert that sits underneath the clear plastic tray on the back of a MiniDisc jewel case.

It typically contains the track listing, album title, artist information, copyright details, catalog number, and spine text. When inserted correctly, the two folded spine panels remain visible while the case is stored vertically on a shelf.

For collectors, the tray card is often one of the most recognizable parts of MiniDisc packaging.

Why MiniDisc tray cards?

MiniDisc packaging had a unique visual language somewhere between cassette tapes and CDs. The tray card gave just enough room for tracklists, technical details, and design elements without taking up much space.

Because MiniDiscs were often used for custom mixes, field recordings, live recordings, and personal compilations, the tray card became an important way to label and archive collections.

There’s something satisfying about seeing a shelf full of neatly labeled MiniDisc spines.

Why did you make this?

After building MiniDisc label generators and jewel case cover tools, people kept asking for proper tray card support.

The tray card is one of those details that completes the package. Without it, even a great MiniDisc project can feel unfinished.

I wanted a way to quickly generate authentic-looking inserts that fit correctly and still leave room for customization.
