ABSTRACT:
A package for releasably storing products such as compact discs comprising a base portion constructed from a single lightweight readily disposable blank of material and a disc holder made from a lightweight material such as plastic. The system maintains positive self-retention of the disc holder within the base portion by incorporating apertures in the flaps which engage bosses near the front of the disc holder when the disc holder is fully inserted into the base. As a result, the system prevents inadvertent outward movement of the disc holder due to gravity, random jostling, etc. The system also precludes complete removal of the disc holder from the base by including a widthwise flap which is contiguous with the lower major panel of the base and which is adapted to engage a shoulder on the underside of the disc holder. When the disc holder is withdrawn from the base a predetermined distance (fully exposing the product), it will engage the lower flap of the base to ensure that the disc holder does not separate from the base portion. The disc holder itself contains a recessed portion with a center hub for holding a compact disc or similar product, grooves surrounding the recessed portion for ready withdrawal of the compact disc and a finger recess for easy withdrawal of the disc holder from the base portion. In an alternate embodiment, a double product configuration contains two such package devices made from a single-blank of material and connected by a contiguous hinged portion which allows the base portions to close in book-like fashion.
