A single sheet has multiple separation lines arranged such that the sheet can be printed on by a standard printer such as a personal computer printer, and the sheet may thereafter be separated and/or folded in any one of three different configurations to form different possible compact disc jewel case inserts including both face labels and spine labels. One embodiment is of a sheet having at least four longitudinal lines of weakness extending across at least a major portion of the length of the sheet, and at least three latitudinal lines of weakness extending across a major portion of the width of the sheet, with at least one longitudinal line of weakness being a fold about which at least one portion is folded.
