Do you need only a few of those booklets or will it be used for a
professional cd production ? For your personal use, using
Postscript with the right PPD schould be the right way.
For professional cd production, the manufacturer needs special
color separated films with different specifications for
Inlaycard/Booklet and the CD-Label (They use offset printing for the booklets and
Siebdruck (screen printing ?) for the cd-label.
These websites will give you an Idea of those things:
