ABSTRACT:
A videocassette case which has traylike upper and lower sections connected by a living hinge along one side of the case, components at the opposite sides thereof and integral with the upper and lower case sections for latching them together, bosses extending upwardly from the bottom wall of the lower case section which engage the hubs of a cassette stored in the case to keep them from rotating and allowing the tape to be creased, unitary stiffeners in the side and end walls of the case sections which also serve as spacers and snugly position the cassette in the case, and external legs in the end walls of the upper and lower case sections which facilitate stacking and also increase the rigidity of the upper and lower case sections. At least the upper section of the case is fabricated from a polymer which is clear enough to make labels and other data associated with the stored cassette visible from the exterior of the case.
