How much does a standard jewel case weigh?

Pictured are a standard sized jewel case and a slimline jewel case.

It depends on the plastic content of the case. Cases with higher plastic content are heavier, but are considered higher-quality cases.


From our own product line, our highest quality one-disc, standard size, assembled jewel case weighs approximately between 2.24 and 2.88 ounces.  The variation depends a lot on what color tray you're using (black trays weigh more than clear).

Our slimmest slimline CD jewel case weighs between 1.4 and 1.52 ounces each.

Of course, these are both standard, polystyrene jewel cases. Jewel cases made with polypropylene weigh less.
