| Posted: | | | | I searched, but can't find a reference to this specific case type.
I recently posted a correction to "Wire in the Blood, Seasons 1 & 2", a British Region 2 release. The case type was listed as "keep case", but in reality it is TWO keep cases, contained within a slip-on cardboard sleeve (open at the top and bottom, wrapping around front, back and sides of the two keep cases).
I submitted a correction to change this to "Box Set", but someone voted "No" and it was turned down.
How should this type of packaging be classified?
(I also submitted a few other corrections at the same time, but the case type is the only one that might be disputed. The original listing also said the video format was full frame, and I changed it to anamorphic widescreen 1.78:1 -- but this isn't something that's debatable, since you only need to put the disc in a player to see it's not full frame. But I digress...) |

| Posted: | | | | I made a change like this just a few minutes ago; the Brady Bunch movies collection, it's just a cardboard band around two keeps. I called it a custom, 'box set' doesn't seem right. |

| Posted: | | | | Yeah, that's what this is too - a cardboard band around two keeps. Definitely nothing like it in Ken's thread with the photos of the case types.
I think either "box set" or "custom". I guess I'll just try submitting it again as "custom" and see if the nay-sayer likes it this time! |

| Posted: | | | | Agreed... a tricky one.
It sounds like a slipcase that pretty common for single keepcases, but I have never seen it to combine 2 keepcases together.
I think I would call it a boxset too. | | | Andy

The ones who complained last time will probably be happy, but you'll get some new naysayers who will complain it is not a custom case! Good Luck! | | | Andy

(after reading carefully reading john's post) as a new box set. if you re-submit, if you haven't already, i will vote yes immediately. my sincerest apologies. krik | | | "Vampirism is still not a disease, Julia.

That isn't a slipcase by any stretch. I'm glad you had your say. |

| Posted: | | | | Technically this is a "Slip Cover" but the way it is being used is Box Set and since "Slip Cover" is not available as a choice, I would go with "Box Set" for the case type. | | | Dan |
