Abstract
A holder for a compact disc includes a tray adapted to releasably receive a compact disc thereon, and a base in telescopic relationship with the tray. The holder is movable from a spanning configuration wherein the base and tray are substantially untelescoped to a telescoped configuration wherein the base and tray are substantially overlying. The holder is used in an ecologically and economically desirable package which is switchable from an extended blank orientation, through an intermediate display orientation, to a collapsed home orientation. The package in the extended blank orientation has sections disposed in a common plane, in the collapsed home orientation has each of its sections substantially overlying with the holder disposed in the telescoped configuration, and in the intermediate display orientation has sections disposed in first and second planes with the holder disposed in an intermediate plane in the spanning configuration to preclude folding of the package into the collapsed home configuration prior to movement of the holder to the telescoped configuration.
