 '''FLP''' is the brand name for a CD packaging format created in 1991 by [[Ivy Hill Packaging]]. More commonly known as the ''snapper case'', the FLP is a plastic tray glued to a paperboard artwork wraparound, and is roughly the size of a standard [[jewel case]].

The tray is also slightly taller and thicker than the artwork, which offers some protection to the artwork and allows the cases to be stacked.
