fullslip

A fullslip is a type of collectible packaging for home video releases, most commonly DVDs and Blu-rays. It is a slipcover that completely encloses the entire case, meaning it covers all six sides: front, back, top, bottom, and both the left and right edges. This is in contrast to other slipcover types like a "slipbox" or "o-ring" which typically only cover the front, back, and spine. Fullslips are often made of sturdy cardstock and are designed to protect the underlying case and add aesthetic appeal to the release.

Fullslips are particularly popular among collectors who value the pristine condition of their media. The complete enclosure provides a significant barrier against shelf wear, minor impacts, and dust. They can also feature unique artwork or embossing that is not present on the standard case artwork, making them a desirable variant for fans. The production of fullslips is often limited, which can contribute to their collectible status and resale value.

The term "fullslip" is widely used in online collector communities, forums, and retailer descriptions for special edition or import releases. While the core concept is consistent, there can be minor variations in their construction and how tightly they fit the case. Some may have a small opening on one edge to allow for easier removal, while others are a true, completely sealed enclosure.
