Abstract
A package includes a stack of hinged trays for holding media discs, having a flexible hinge member affixed to the hinge edges of the trays, mounted in a protective container having a base, a spine and a cover. The bottom tray in the stack is mounted in the base for pivotal movement about the tray edge opposite the hinge edge, whereby, as trays are pivoted about the flexible hinge member from the stack onto a second stack, the hinge edge of the bottom tray pivots away from the base when the second stack contains at least one more tray than the original stack. Pivotal mounting is achieved by providing a slot on the bottom tray which engages slot receiving means mounted on the base.
