Patent ID: 8113345

Claim:
A package for a planar disc recording medium, comprising at least a back section ( 2 ), a front section ( 1 ) attached to the back section ( 2 ) along a first common foldable edge and a disc-holding section ( 3 ) attached to the back section ( 2 ) along a second common foldable edge, wherein the disc-holding section ( 3 ) has approximately the same lateral width as the back section and a width greater than the diameter of the disc and comprises two symmetrical slits ( 8 ) arranged for receiving and retaining the disc, characterized in that the slits ( 8 ) are curved, having arcs the imaginary extensions of which would connect and complete a circle with essentially the same diameter as the recording medium, said slits ( 8 ) further being arranged in the disc-holding section ( 3 ) so as to form upper and lower foldable tabs ( 9 ) extending from slits ( 8 ) to upper and lower edges respectively of the disc-holding section ( 3 ) thus forming foldable retaining portions ( 10 ), the axis of folding of which is perpendicular to the axis of folding of the second common foldable edge between the back section ( 2 ) and the disc-holding section ( 3 ), said second common foldable edge having a lateral width less than that of the disc holding/back sections, whereby the retaining portions ( 10 ) can be folded back over onto and thus securely retain the recording medium.
