ABSTRACT:
A packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as a CD-ROM or a DVD. The packaging device includes a first member for the storage of disc-shaped media in a chamber or cavity, which container may be attached to storage devices of various shapes and sizes for the storage of materials other than the disc-shaped media. The chamber includes means for maintaining the disc-shaped media in a stable state within the chamber, such that the disc-shaped media is allowed to rotate, while limiting the linear movement of the disc-shaped media both perpendicular to and parallel to the plane of the media. The disc-shaped media may be sealed within the inner chamber by means of either a circular protective element or by means of a complementary cap or lid adapted to engage the first member. The first member is attached to the storage device by means of engagement of the first member with the top of or cover to the package or packages. In such device, the first member and disc-shaped media may be of a larger diameter than one dimension of the top of or cover to the package or packages. Alternatively, the first member may engage and hold in positive juxtaposition multiple packages. The first member includes a protective element along the perimeter thereof to ensure the integrity of the first member as well as to prevent the edges of the disc-shaped media from being damaged. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.
