Abstract
An elongated packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as a compact disc or a DVD, together with other materials, in a stacked relationship. The packaging device includes a first member for the storage of the disc-shaped media in a first chamber and a second member or container for the storage of a beverage in a second chamber sealed by a cover having an opening at the center thereof for the insertion of a straw. The first chamber includes a cylindrical inner structure defining central support for the disc media and includes an aperture that aligns with the opening of the cover when the wafer is in place on the cover. The disc-shaped media is sealed within the annular inner chamber of the wafer by means of a circular protective element. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.
