ABSTRACT:
A new CD package has a cover attached to a tray by a single hinge at one end of the tray. That simplified manufacture and assembly makes the entire cover available for printing and graphics. The CD package is assembled with a single direction motion of a paper board cover toward a plastic tray. The entire cover surface is available for graphics, and the complete package lies flat on either side when fully or partially opened. A hook folded on one paper board flap engages a ledge in the receiver. A flap on one paper board cover is slit and glued or physically attached to a hinged extension on the tray. When the flap is formed on one end of the cover, the cover wraps around the tray. When the flap is formed in the middle of a cover, the CD package opens like a book. More than one connector flap may be provided for connecting the cover to multiple trays. The trays may be double-sided with a central opening in a central platform to receive snap-in and twist-in rosettes. A locking rosette has a central push button which pulls spaced petals inward to disengage teeth. Thin areas whiten on pushing to indicate tampering. The rosettes connect to plastic or cardboard trays. A snap in the cover engages a complementary opening in the tray to hold the cover closed.
