ABSTRACT:
A stackable container for computer media, such as floppy disks or the like. The container comprises a base and a removable cover. During ordinary use of the container, the cover fits in an upright orientation securely atop the base to provide closure of the container. The cover is constructed so that when it is removed and inverted, it nests in the base of the container. Thus, during packing and shipment (or storage) of the container, the cover is removed and inverted and nested in the base. The cover, which is typically made of clear styrene, is relatively brittle, and the ability to nest the cover in the base, which is typically made of a more resilient plastic, provides protection from physical damage to the cover during shipment. Also, the base is constructed to at least partially nest in the inverted cover, so that multiple containers can be packed and shipped more compactly.
