A few weeks ago, ProAction Media unveiled its Flex-Lite DVD media. Constructed of an eco-friendly material, these discs use 50% less plastic than regular DVDs and are 100% recyclable. According to new information from ProAction Media, the Flex-Lite Disc also costs considerably less to ship due to its light weight and flexible nature.

The new DVD Media allows companies to experience significant savings in postage: A lighter DVD, combined with reduced weight to the actual printed piece can result in savings of up to $0.30 in shipping costs alone something literally unheard-of in the industry.

While one would expect a lighter DVD material and a lower-priced shipping package to result in substantial disadvantages where durability and reliability are concerned, the Flex-Lite Disc packs another surprise: The DVD's flexible nature makes it possible to ship in a standard envelope, or an adhesive vinyl sleeve. All of this comes while providing a much higher level of protection than the average DVD mailed in heavy cardstock, which unfortunately still risks breakage.
