Hi guys I'm a noob... What are the dimensions or form factor for the CD cases I should buy? I've seen different sizes, and I don't know what's the exact type of box I need for these prints.

Edit: There's no cover for ascension_to_the_throne ... It has pretty girls.

Typically these covers are designed for a standard DVD case, I don't own an Xbox Series X nor a PS5 so I cannot speak to the dimensions of those cases versus a DVD / Blu-Ray case. When printing, make sure that the left/right margins are 3 millimeters and the top/bottom margins are 15.5 millimeters. How to do this differs based on the image program used; it may be in the 'Page Properties,' 'Settings,' or even the Print menu. (An online search for how to proceed would be my advice).

Hey man thanks for the margin values, but I think I also need to know the paper dimensions like in the image I share, because if I keep the same values you mention, the result would still be different based on the dimensions of paper.
Thanks for your work guys, the index menu is super nice. (I downloaded a torrent with a collection of your covers).

I use standard Letter-sized paper for my prints; looking at your chart the closest size would be A4 although the width is slightly smaller and the height a little taller than Letter (8.5" * 11").

My advice would be to buy some cheap paper and ink at first and do some test prints; the margins I've provided work well enough with Letter size but A4 may - or may not - require a little tinkering to fit in the DVD cover sleeve. Once you have the margins figured out (and recorded for yourself for later on) try experimenting with different paper and ink to get a better-quality print. I don't mess with higher-quality ink but I do like spending extra on high-quality photo sheet paper to get a stiff-backed, higher-quality print. Taste is highly subjective, though, so if the prints look good enough for you then it's perfect.

Happy Printing!
