The album package consists of 156 [[Instant film#Polaroid|Polaroid]] photos that unfold into a 2×2 square. The Polaroid photos are seemingly random. One of the photos featured on the front cover is the eyeball of [[Dennis Rodman]], former [[Chicago Bulls]] player and friend of the band,<ref name="lostdogs"/><ref>Rolph, Amy.

Later pressings of the CD featured a 1x4 format packaging, losing the hidden message effect. The CD and vinyl came with lyrics printed on the back of replica Polaroids. Only nine Polaroids came in a set, (with a catalog number Suffix of 'C' 'O' 'D' or 'E')leaving one to have to obtain another set to accumulate all thirteen songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/amplifier/grading-pearl-jams-album-covers.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115071152/http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/amplifier/grading-pearl-jams-album-covers.html|archive-date=January 15, 2012|title=Grading Pearl Jam's Album Covers|first=Daniel|last=Kreps|publisher=Amplifier – [[Yahoo!

When discussing the album's title, Vedder said "it's called ''No Code'' because it's full of code. It's misinformation."<ref>Vedder, Eddie. [https://web.archive.org/web/20030707054340/http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/PearlJam/echoes/fritz2.html "Fritz, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll - Eddie Vedder Radio Show"]. Radio Fritz, Berlin, Germany. November 3, 1996.</ref> In medical terminology, a "no code" order is a medical order to withhold CPR on a patient. It is also known as a "do not resuscitate" order. In another interview, Vedder said that "if the record is a complete failure you've kind of owned up to it in a subliminal way. ''No Code'' was the same thing. For me, ''No Code'' meant 'Do Not Resuscitate'."<ref>Dwyer, Michael. [http://www.fivehorizons.com/archive/articles/rs_oz_0800.shtml "Steady Eddie"]. ''[[Rolling Stone]]''. August 2000.</ref>
