Abstract: Packages that include security features to inhibit tampering or theft are provided. Such packages can include security ribs to prevent tampering or theft. Additionally, such containers can include a novel hinge configuration, which allows an integrally formed hinge to be curved, and a spine of a package to have a generally arcuate cross-sectional contour.

Such packages can include locking elements to secure the packages in a closed configuration or can include active alarm elements to prevent tampering or theft.

Abstract: The subject disclosure provides a package for housing multiple media discs including a first cover having a planar member with a first upstanding wall that forms a circular recess and at least one finger well opening to the circular recess, a rosette located centrally within the circular recess for engaging a central aperture of a media disc, a second upstanding wall around a periphery of the planar member that forms an indentation for opening the package, and a detent. A second cover also has a planar member and an upstanding wall around a periphery of the planar member that forms an indentation for opening the package. A spine hingedly connects the first and second covers for allowing the first and second covers to rotate between a closed position in which the first and second covers are aligned to protect media discs therein and an open position in which the first and second covers are separated to allow access to the media discs therein.

Abstract: An enclosure for securing a disc having a central aperture includes a base and a pivotable cover. A two part disc securing rosette has a first part on the base including at least two upstanding, circularly spaced apart segments with arcuate outer peripheral surfaces dimensioned for engaging the central aperture of a disc and a second part including at least two elongate, upstanding ribs extending radially from a position on the cover which is centered on the segments on the base, the number of ribs on the cover corresponding to the number of segments on the base, the ribs being positioned and dimensioned such that, when the enclosure is closed, the ribs on the cover enter the first part radially inwardly of the segments with the ribs contacting the radially inside surface of the corresponding arcuate segments for bracing the arcuate segments against breakage.
