Abstract

Magnetic tape security housing including two mirror imaged halves which mate together with opposing hooks and latches forming a magnetic tape security package, with combination U-shaped carrying handle and package hanging ports, for encompassing a cardboard box containing a magnetic tape, such as a video game tape, cassette tape, a VHS or Beta video tape, floppy disks, or other like valuables. The mated housings engage integrally together to form a package to protect a box containing a magnetic tape or the like. The only way that the box can be removed from the package is through destruction of the housing members. The package is non-openable except through total destruction of one or both of the housing members.
