Talk:Longbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To my knowledge longboxes were only common in the US and NOT in entire North America.

I think the article should mention that in most cases only full length cds came in longboxes, although there are known cases of 3"cd longboxes and even cassette longboxes with full artwork, but these should be considered exceptional.

I don't have a source to back this up, but I recall reading at the time that a major reason for the longbox was the big record companies wanting to keep the their cardboard LP jacket printing business going (or had contracts/agreements with the companies printing LP jackets). --Drench 14:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Different meanings?

I've never heard of this usage for longbox. The only longbox I know of is that used to store comic books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.93.26.126 (talk) 18:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
