ABSTRACT:
A jewel case for storing and transporting compact discs and related optical storage media. The jewel case includes a front cover, back cover and a hinge region connecting the front and back covers. At least one of the surfaces of the covers is treated to enhance its ink-receptive properties such that it can accept direct printing of text, graphics and related indicia, thereby obviating the need for separate printed indicia-containing inserts. Suitable plastic, such as high impact polystyrene, is used to make up the ink-receptive portions of the jewel case, thereby reducing its brittleness. The reduced thickness and simplistic configuration of the jewel case saves manufacturing and shipping costs, while the use of smaller quantities of plastic, as well as the reduction or elimination of paper inserts, results in reduced environmental impact once the jewel case is discarded.
