  • Patent number: 5154284
    Abstract: A compact disc package is constructed like a cover-fold matchbook. A sleeve which holds the optical disc is located in a double-fold, matchbook-type cover. The double-fold creates a two-part cover, an outer cover, and an internal segment which contains the sleeve. The sleeve is secure when the packaging is closed by inserting both the sleeve and the cover under the flap. Visual materials are printed on a single large sheet which is folded and highly compressed. The folded printed matter is secured within the package between the bottom flap and rear cover.
