Slipcases

[Playzocker]

I know this is knitpicking but it really bothers me ... why do some of your releases come in glossy slipcovers and others in matte ones?

I for one prefer the matte finish since fingerprints are never an issue there. I thought it was a weird "accident" that the third Arrow Academy release (Rififi) suddenly used the glossy finish) but the two DVD slipcases I have from Arrow (Kentucky Fried Movie, Martin) are glossy as well and now with Obsession you even introduce the glossy finish to Blu-ray...


Y U NO KEEP CONTINUITY???

That's a good question indeed. I also prefer the non-glossy slipcases - for my personal taste they just feel better.

It would be interesting to know the reason for the different slipcases.

Am I right in thinking that excluding Obsession, to date, glossy = 4-panel artwork dvds, matte = blurays? Obsession being the exclusion here since it's a different sized packaging again.

I don't think it's the size. Arrow Films' release of Spirits of the Dead has the size of Obsession and it's matte. Yeah, it's no Arrow Video release, I know.

But maybe Nos will tell us more.

Nope, that's deffo not the reason ... the Arrow Academy ones I mentioned are 100% identical, only that 2 are matte and 1 is glossy.

What annoys me is how the slipcases are rarely glued together properly to the right of the window. I end up obsessively trying to squeeze the front and back together, but the glue holds out for about 2 seconds and then it comes apart again!

I've asked Arrow about this as I don't have a clue either!

Checked this with Arrow. Originally they were all supposed to be matte but the manufacturer accidentally printed some in glossy and Arrow quite liked the result and decided to run with it.

Thank you for asking!

So this means that both Arrow Video and Arrow Academy Slipcases from now on will all be glossy?
