Elizabeth Kibler asked for suggestions on packaging software & manuals.
My response:
Here at A-B, we create doc. (documentation) sets that typically include several
manuals, release notes, and maybe a quick start type guide. We package them in
a software box with a matching slipcase. The box fits right into the slipcase.
If we have a larger doc set, we use a bigger box called a *garage*. It's
designed the same way as the smaller box. I'm sure you could easily slip your
cd containing software into this type of box along with the manuals.
