Claim:
A blank for use in forming a book-like package comprising: a first panel having a first disc receiving opening formed by stamping a sheet from which the blank is formed, a first disc securing lug formed in the panel during the stamping and lying within the plane of the panel, disposed proximate a periphery of the first disc receiving opening and projecting inward from the periphery of the disc receiving opening in the plane of the panel and extending inward and away from the periphery of the first disc receiving opening, the first disc securing lug being elongated, along a direction of its in-plane extension away from the periphery of the first disc receiving opening, with respect to its width, and a second disc securing lug formed in the panel during the stamping and lying within the plane of the panel, disposed proximate a periphery of the first disc receiving opening in the plane of the panel and projecting inward from the periphery of the first disc receiving opening and extending inward and away from the periphery of the first disc receiving opening, the second disc securing lug being elongated, along a direction of its in-plane extension away from the periphery of the first disc receiving opening, with respect to its width, the second disc securing lug being disposed generally opposite of the first disc securing lug relative to the first disc receiving opening, the first and second disc securing lugs together defining an opening having a width less than a diameter of the first disc receiving opening, and wherein a first gap is disposed proximate the first disc securing lug and a second gap is disposed proximate the second disc securing lug, the first gap and the second gap being in communication with the disc receiving opening, the first gap receiving at least a portion of the first disc securing lug when a disc is placed into and removed from the disc receiving opening, and the second gap receiving at least a portion of the second disc securing lug when a disc is placed into and removed from the first disc receiving opening, and wherein the opening defined by the first and second disc securing lugs is defined by the inward extending portions thereof, and lies in the plane of the first disc receiving opening; a second panel being connected to the first panel; and a third panel being connected to the second panel.
