ABSTRACT:
A sleeve for storing and displaying a videocassette comprises a clear flexible plastic, elongated rectangular one-piece member, formed with an interior storage chamber completely enclosed except for an end opening through which a videocassette is inserted into and removed from the chamber. A chipboard cover having printed indicia thereon identifying a prerecorded program on the videocassette is retained within the chamber and slidably receives the videocassette therein. A pair of juxtaposed, elongated, preferably convex flanges, is formed on a spaced-apart pair of front and rear walls of the sleeve and extend partially across the end opening to retain the videocassette within the chipboard sleeve. Application of pressure by the thumb and finger of a user on spaced sidewalls of the sleeve adjacent to the end opening deforms the juxtaposed flanges to a parallel or concave configuration to enlarge the opening for removing the videocassette from the storage container for use, with the chipboard cover remaining in the storage chamber for subsequent removal at a later date in a nondeformed condition.
