 | whitewhale1965 Let's make it Better! Member since Jun 2012 12361 Points | I've always struggled with what to call the paper thing in the back of the jewel case. Is it the back cover? If printed on the inside, is that 'inside back cover'? Many members call the back of the booklet the back cover. So many words have been used. Now I heard it's called a J Card. Is that for real? Should I call it that from now on? J Card? |

 | JPGR&B SUBS My aim - to add all my collections on 45worlds. Member since May 2009 4546 Points Moderator | I call it the jewel case backing sheet - front and reverse. The J card is the card in a cassette single jewel case or CD single jewel case. |

 | carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1707 Points Moderator | I always assumed plastic cassette or CD cases are called "jewel" because they are transparent, like jewels? I would refer to a Casstte's paper sheet as an Inlay, that would work for CD's? Inlay Front/ back, inside Front/ Back etc? |

 | Steel-River-Wet SUBS M. Bolan, D. Bowie, A. Harvey & Olivia NJ. RIP x Member since Sep 2011 1865 Points | Yup, I call them the 'Inlay' too when adding them to 45worlds. From Microsoft Bing: "A J-card is a paper card inserted in the plastic storage case of most audio cassette releases. It usually contains an image of the album cover, a track listing, credits, and copyright information". ..and from Wiki: A J-card is the paper card inserted in the plastic storage case of most audio cassette releases, as well as being latterly wrapped around the outside of many Blu-ray and DVD steelbooks and similar special editions. The J-card usually contains an image of the album cover, a track listing, credits, and copyright information, with some releases having foldout cards with multiple panels to contain lyrics, liner notes, or additional artwork. Most J-cards contain the title of the content on the edge for quick reference while in storage. The J-card gets its name from being folded into the shape of the letter J (when viewed from the side) to fit inside the cassette's case. Today, custom made CD-R covers are often called J-cards. Similarly styled covers were used in CD covers in the 1990s for single cases and are still used today". Edited by Steel-River-Wet on 29th Feb 2024, 2:00 PM |

| whitewhale1965 Let's make it Better! Member since Jun 2012 12361 Points | Yeah. J-Card in a cassette makes the most sense. All your different ways of describing it, though? Yikes! Thanks folks.  |

If you go to eBay to buy any printables for CD's they use the term "CD Tray Insert" and that's what I've always used, as for the front cover, if it's a booklet I use Booklet if it's just a sheet folded in two I call that a Cover Inlay  |
