Abstract
A holder to protectively pack several diskettes in separate pockets, the holder being fabricated from a single, rectangular blank of sheeting so die cut and scored that when the blank is folded on the score lines, there is then erected interhinged pockets. The blank is divided by longitudinal score lines into a broad central panel flanked by narrow side panels each die cut to define a series of equi-spaced lobes projecting outwardly therefrom. Transverse score lines divide the panels of the blank into a plurality of like sections, each including a pair of opposing lobes, each section being divided in half by a transverse score line extending through the center of the lobes. Diagonal score lines extending from the ends of each lobe and running through the related side panel to a common point on the adjacent longitudinal score line, form the boundaries of a gusset zone. When the side panels are folded over the central panel on the longitudinal score lines, and are then accordian-folded on the transverse score lines, the gusset zones fold in half to form in each section a pair of opposed gussets to create a pocket to accommodate a diskette.
