ABSTRACT:
A package for an optical disc and an optical disc sleeve includes upper and lower formed plastic sheets sized to receive and support therebetween the optical disc and the optical disc sleeve in side by side relationship. The lower sheet is shaped to support the optical disc and defines an annular depression made up of a central hub, an inner ledge, an annular floor surrounding the inner ledge, an array of raised stiffening structures formed in the annular floor, and at least one outer ledge positioned around the annular floor. The upper sheet is shaped to cover the optical disc and the optical disc sleeve and includes a closed end receptacle shaped to receive an end portion of the hub. The hub has an enlarged head that forms an interference fit with the central opening in the disc to hold the disc on the hub. The upper and lower sheets define peripheral shoulders shaped to fit together to increase the rigidity of the sheets.
