ABSTRACT:
A sheet of foldable material is die cut to form a support area to receive a compact disc. The sides of the disc support area have a length substantially equal to the diameter of the compact disc. A triangular flap extends from each side of the disc support area and is connected thereto by double fold lines forming an edge for articulation of pairs of flaps between an open position for receiving the disc and a closed position. In the closed position, the surface of the flaps are removed from contact with the disc readable surface. In the closed position, a first pair of flaps abut one another in a wedged fit preventing articulation of the flaps into contact with the disc readable surface. The second pair of flaps is folded into overlying relation with the first pair of flaps. The folded flaps are releasably connected to close the package so that the interior surface of the package is removed from contact with the disc readable surface. The disc is moved into and out of the package without the disc readable surface sliding on the surface of the package. During storage and handling of the disc in the package, the readable surface does not contact the interior surface of the package.
