Abstract

A loose leaf page for selectively storing four compact discs (CDs) on each side of the page, or for storing two CDs and associated printed and graphic information on each side of the page. A flexible, plastic, two-sided, loose leaf page includes four CD storage pockets per side of the page, and includes a hole pattern that facilitates releasably mounting the page in a standard cover-size 1-inch, 1 1/2-inch or 3-inch three-ring binder notebook, certain embodiments also facilitating mounting of the page in a three-ring Chicago-posted binder. In order to prevent interference between two CDs that reside closest to the binder rings when a user manually leaves through binder pages, the page includes a six-hole pattern, a three-hole/three-notch pattern, or the page's binder-edge is configured to ensure that the vertical binder-edge, upon the page being turned, moves past the vertical leading edge of the three rings, and then moves backward under the three rings. The CD storage page includes two outer transparent polypropylene layers and an inner layer that is constructed of soft woven or nonwoven polypropylene.
