Abstract: A packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as, for example, a recording media disc such as a CD, 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 packaging device may be attached to any container used for the storage of materials other than the disc-shaped media. The first member includes means for maintaining the disc media in a stable state within the chamber, said means comprising a fugitive glue or other temporary adhesive applied to the non-media surface of the disc-media, allowing the disc-media to be removably attached to the interior surface of the chamber. The disc-shaped media may be sealed within the inner chamber by means of shrink-wrapped plastic, a foil seal or a paperboard seal.

Abstract: A packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as a recording media together with other materials in a stacked relationship. The packaging device comprises a first member having a center column for its upper portion and a means for receiving and retaining the other materials as its lower portion, which first member is slidably inserted through the opening of and into the chamber of an elongated second member. A cover is provided to close the opening of the second member, thereby sealing the contents of both members. A central support structure for the disc media acts in combination with the annular opening at the center of the disc media so as to allow the disc media to rotate, while limiting the linear movement of the disc media. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.

Abstract: An elongated packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as, for example, a recording media disc such as a CD, a CD-ROM or a DVD, together with other materials relating to such disc or otherwise in a stacked relationship. The packaging device includes a first member provided with a first chamber and a first opening, and a second member provided with a second chamber and a second opening for the storage of other materials in such second chamber. The first member may include an inner structure defining central support for the disc media by means of interaction of such inner structure with the annular opening at the center of the disc media, such that the disc media is allowed to rotate, while limiting the linear movement of the disc media both perpendicular to and parallel to the plane of the media.

Abstract: An elongated packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as, for example, a recording media disc such as a CD, a CD-ROM or a DVD, together with other materials relating to such disc or otherwise in a stacked relationship. The packaging device includes a first member or wafer having an annular first chamber and a first opening for access into such first chamber and an annular protective element for closing such first opening and sealing the first chamber, and a second member or container having a second chamber and a second opening for access into such second container for the storage of a beverage in such second chamber, which second chamber is closed by a cover having an opening at the center thereof for the insertion of a straw. The first member has a cylindrical inner structure defining central support for the disc media and defining a device for penetrating the cover opening.

Abstract: Packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as a recording media disc together with other materials in a stacked relationship. The packaging device includes a first member having a first chamber and a first opening for providing access thereto and a second member having a second chamber and a second opening for providing access thereto, wherein the first member is adapted to be removably attached to the second member about the second opening to thereby cover this second opening. These complementary compartments are adapted to be attached to each other at the edges thereof by means of an interlocking structure such as a common hinge, such that the first member resembles a clam-shell configuration. The compartments include means for retaining the first member in a closed position. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.
