I want to create covers to put on the actual discs of my Wii games, but will this interfere with the opening of the disc slot? Like if I glue the paper to the DVD and put it in my Wii, will the disc get jammed?

I believe it is. Once you stick a label on top of a disc it no longer conforms to the specifications for optical media. I have seen enough ruined PC drives to not want to do this myself.GhostSonic said:That is a nice desk.Cheers! You've got a amusing sig.
I have been using the stick on labels for awhile.....is this a bad idea????Tichinde925 said:You gots to use these discs...There are quite a few brands and types of printable disc to use available.
I usually use TDK brand DVD-R discs for single layer DVD, Verbatim 8X +R Dual layer discs and Maxell brand CD-R discs. All of these come with a full face printable top, IE the top surface is printable over the top of the plastic hub as well as the recordable area.
Also if you can get them without too much trouble the excellent Taiyo Yuden range of optical media is available with full face printable tops.
When you say read equally well are you referring to the data or the print quality?vegeta4ss said:Printing on the disc seems to be the way to go but will they read equally well for a long time?
Either way I have discs over 4 years old that have been printed this way (this is my third canon CD printing printer) and as long as they were good quality discs (was harder to get quality printables back then) they are working today no problem and the print hasn't faded noticeably.
