ABSTRACT:
A nestable security package for a media storage box includes a housing having a hanger end and a compartment. The compartment is formed by a front wall, a pair of spaced, parallel side walls, a rear wall, a bottom wall, and a top flange. These walls are disposed and configured to receive a media storage box. A locking mechanism is provided that may be moved from a locking position to an unlocked position wherein the media storage box is lockingly retained in the compartment when the locking mechanism is in the locked position. The object of the invention is to provide a security package which does not substantially increase the storage footprint depth of the media storage box. This object is achieved by providing wall configurations that allow one security package to nest with an adjacent security package such that the storage footprint depth of the media storage box is only increased by a single wall thickness. This configuration is achieved by providing first, second, third, and fourth cut outs in the housing which are disposed to receive the bottom wall, the top flange, the locking mechanism, and a lock plate. The cut outs are sized to allow adjacent security packages to tilt with respect to each other. The cut outs are also angled to prevent one security package from catching on an adjacent security package.
