7 pts is real tiny. I have seen business cards with tiny sans serif light, all lower case and I can barely see it. Surprisingly, a lot of them are from design firms that won awards in the books I buy every few years to see what's happening.

Not related to bus cds but a lot of the firms print their envelope backflaps solid with reverse text/logo - something no client of mine has ever been willing to pay for once they find out the cost of printing flat and converting to #10.

Go to Amazon.com and search for "graphic design" and you'll find a ton of inexpensive used and new books on design. That's where I usually go.
