This information is from the dvdcoverart.com website.

At 300 dpi, these are the recommended sizes for each keepcase:

all keepcases use the same size cover for the front and back (1535 x 2175 pixels), the only thing that changes is the spine width.

single: 3240 x 2175 pixels (spine: 170 pixels)

double: 3305 x 2175 pixels (spine: 235 pixels)

triple (slim): 3384 x 2175 pixels (spine 314 pixels)

4/5 disc: 3508 x 2175 pixels (spine: 438 pixels)

6/7 disc: 3661 x 2175 pixels (spine: 591 pixels)

ThinPak single: 3150 x 2175 pixels (spine: 80 pixels)

ThinPak double: 3172 x 2175 pixels (spine: 102 pixels)

Standard insert: there's no fixed size for the chapter list insert; anything 1400-1500 pixels wide and 2175 high at 300 dpi is fine.

Please note that templates are available for all of these. I've used the single case template in Photoshop to great effect.

I simply create a box in MS excel, adjust it after a few tests prints (just the box/border, draft quality) and then use 'insert picture'.
Perfect size every time (until I swicthed suppliers and the blummin' cases are just a little different to the last batch!)

Scan them myself, or if I dont like the original I'll look on DVDcoverart.com for a better one.

I print them with CoverXP, using Meritlines glossy A4 sized DVD Covers. Works great.

I hardly ever use full DVD cases for backups, as I do not like the amount of wasted space they take up. Standard CD cases work great for me, and there are tons of tools that do covers and cases for that size box.

The only plus that I find with full size DVD cases is with the type of plastic used. The jewel case plastic can be annoying because of the ease of breaking compared to the DVD box.
