Abstract
A device for packaging at least one disc-shaped item comprising a storage device for the storage of said disc-shaped media in a chamber or cavity, which storage device may be attached to an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid planar surface hingedly or removably attached to the remainder of the object, such as a book, folder or box. The chamber includes means for maintaining the disc media in a stable state within the chamber while limiting its linear movement. The storage device is attached to the rigid or semi-rigid planar surface through a hole in said surface, which hole corresponds to the shape of the media-retaining portion of the storage device. The storage device may be retained within the hole by means of a skirt running around the perimeter thereof, which skirt is adapted to engage the back of the rigid or semi-rigid member.
