What size is a MiniDisc tray card?

This template uses a 100mm × 102mm layout consisting of a central 86mm back panel with two 7mm spine sections.

Does this work with newer square MiniDisc cases?

No. This template is designed for the older full-size jewel cases used by many early MiniDisc releases.

Can I include spine text?

Yes. The generator automatically formats text for both 7mm spine sections.

Can I customize the track listing?

Yes. You can edit track names, artist information, recording notes, catalog numbers, and additional metadata.

Can I use my own artwork?

Yes. You can upload custom artwork, logos, and graphics directly into the generator.

Can I make tray cards from Spotify playlists?

Yes. Paste a playlist URL and the generator will attempt to pull artwork, titles, and track metadata automatically.

What paper should I use?

Glossy or semi-gloss paper around 170–220gsm usually gives the most authentic result.

How do I avoid print scaling issues?

Always print at 100% size and disable options like 'Scale to Fit' or 'Fit to Page' in your print dialog.

Can I make other MiniDisc packaging too?

Yes. The site also includes MiniDisc labels, jewel case covers, cassette packaging, VHS templates, CDs, vinyl jackets, and more.

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

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.

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.
