ABSTRACT:
A reusable compact disc package with a narrow three-sided spine compartment for holding a spine card identifying the compact disc title and a second compartment, essentially square, for firmly storing a sleeve containing a compact disc. The essentially square shape of the second compartment allows for the compact disc sleeve to be square and thereby contain a scaled down exact reproduction of the original album graphics of a previously released recording. The package contains a vertical opening opposite the spine such that the sleeve may be easily inserted into and removed from the package. The package also includes a retaining clip for firmly holding the sleeve in place inside the package. The package is comprised of two components with correlated lock tabs and receptacles such that the components may be cinched securely together to form a stable compact disc package which can be easily disassembled with the use of a two-pronged key. The spine card may be accessed only when the package is disassembled into its constituent components. Otherwise the spine card is firmly fixed in the package so that it is inaccessible.
