ABSTRACT:
A multi-media shipping container, such as a compact disc or video cassette container, having a base and a lid hingedly connected by a hinge assembly and movable between open and closed positions, whereby the shipping container includes a tear away latching mechanism which when torn away provides a storage container. The latching mechanism is mounted on the container and includes a pair of flexible flaps or strips which are hingedly connected to the base and lid by reduced thickness living hinges. The flaps overlap one another and interengage one another to thereby lock the base and lid together in a tamper proof and pry-resistant manner. The flaps are grasped and pulled outwardly and along the front of the container by a user thereby tearing them away. The reduced thickness living hinges are torn from the container leaving a usual compact disc or VHS video cassette storage container.
