Abstract: A package for housing one or more items such as optical media discs is constructed from alternating layers of material such as paper and paperboard. The various layers are adhered together to form the package. The package has a book like form. The layers of paperboard have internal spaces for holding discs. The layers of paper are folded and the folds make up at least part of a binding. Projections into the internal spaces may be used to limit unintended movement of the items within the internal spaces.

Abstract: A package for storage of at least one recording medium has a paperboard component formed from a blank folded along a horizontal midline to define a double thickness, with an exposed outer face thereof being coated and printed and a concealed inner face thereof being unprinted. The concealed inner face defines at least one pair of parallel grooves, preferable formed by laser ablation.

Abstract: A storage case for a center-mounted information carrier includes two hinged parts formed of plastic—namely, a base and a lid. The base free ends is a generally smooth, bilaterally symmetrically curve formed by an upstanding flange of substantial thickness, while the lid free end is a generally smooth, bilaterally symmetrically curve. The lid free end terminates short of the base free end so that the base free end can protect the lid free end. The storage case has a generally smooth exterior yet intuitively communicates to a potential first-time user how the case should be opened.
