  • Patent number: 5857565
    Abstract: An envelope adapted to hold a disc such as a computer disc or a CD and being adapted to be bound into a spine of a publication. The envelope is formed from a blank and has a front face, a back face, a top edge, a bottom edge, and side edges. One of the side edges is formed from the fold in the blank. Margins are formed around the remaining side edges, the margins defining an area sized to accept the disc. Adhesive strips are provided in the side and bottom margins to glue the front and back faces of the envelope together so that the envelope will be sealed along three of the four sides and opened along the top edge. A flap is provided in the top margin in the front face. The flap can be bent away from the back face to allow for access to the area. A peel-and-seal strip is placed in the top margin to seal to opened edge once the disc has been inserted in the area. A tear strip is provided in the flap to facilitate removal of the disc from the envelope.
