What is a digipak?
Well quite simply a digipack is a casing that holds a cd/dvd within.
When looking into what exactly a digipack is I found Wikipedia to be very helpful and it gave a brief history of didgipacks. Bellow is a link to the page that I looked at.

Well they look good to start off with, this can be advantageous for a band/artist as by having an artistic and therefore attractive digipack the item should if designed properly attract people to buy the CD. A digipack often comes with additional information about the band/artist or production of the music, such information can be appealing to fans and will attract them to purchasing them.
When browsing the internet looking for information about digipack's I came across this video, it does not provide any actual information but gives an insight to how elaborate a digipack can be, for example the U2 one in this video.
The typical digipaks is 13.8cm wide, 12,5 cm in lenght and has a 6mm thick spine is made either by card or plastic usually. A four pannel digipack is the most commmon type however you can also get six or eight pannel ones.
