ABSTRACT:
A disposable video cassette for rotatably mounting a pair of reels for a recording tape in juxtaposition to allow transfer of the tape from one reel to the other as they are rotated in unison when the cassette is operating in a video cassette recorder (VCR) has a housing formed from a position of a singly flat paperboard blank having plural cutouts and fold lines for mounting the reels and accommodating rotation therein, for loading the cassette directly into the VCR. A pair of the cutouts is spaced apart in one side of the housing to expose the respective rotational driving mechanisms of the pair of reels in the housing, for mating with the driving mechanism of the VCR when the cassette is loaded therein. Another position of the blank constitutes an appendage to the housing conforming to the shape of the housing when formed. The appendage has fold lines to enclose the housing therein, to provide an integral mailer for the cassette, and is attached to the housing along an easy-tear fold line to permit ready removal of the mailer when the cassette is to be used in a VCR. The mailer when detached becomes printed material, i.e. a coupon, educational material, pharmaceutical detail material, games, etc.
