A package for at least one diskette having a computer program recorded thereon. The package is formed of a planar sheet of paperboard which has been cut to a shape and folded along predetermined lines. The package includes a base panel on which the diskette is disposed, a pair of flap panels, each being folded along respective fold lines over a portion of the base panel and the diskette, and a first cover panel folded along a respective fold line over the base panel and the flap panels. Each of the flap panels comprises at a first portion having indicia thereon related to the computer program and which is removable via at least one perforated line leaving at least another portion of that flap panel disposed over the diskette to hold it in place. Each of the flap panels and the first cover panel includes an additional fold line disposed closely parallel to the respective fold line between it and the base panel to enable those panels to be folded along the additional fold lines over the base panel to enable two diskettes to be enclosed within the package. The package also includes a second cover panel and a card panel, each having indicia thereon related to said computer program and removable via a perforated line from the package.
A package for holding at least one magnetic diskette for use in a computer disk drive, said diskette having a computer program recorded thereon, said package being formed of a planar material which has been cut to a shape and folded along predetermined lines to form plural panels defining a closeable hollow chamber in which said diskette may be disposed, said panels comprising a base panel, a pair of flap panels, and a first cover panel, said base panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges, said base panel serving as means on which said diskette is disposed, said panels of said pair of flap panels being folded along respective fold lines located at said top and bottom edges, respectively, each of said pair of flap panels being dimensioned to be disposed over only a portion of said base panel and the diskette disposed thereon, said flap panels being arranged to be selectively folded back so that they are not disposed over said diskette to enable said diskette to be lifted off said base panel, said first cover panel being folded along a respective fold line located at one of said side edges so that said cover panel is disposed over said base panel and said flap panels, securement means associated with said first cover panel for holding said first cover panel and said flap panels over the base panel to thereby enclose said diskette within said package and preclude it from accidental removal, at least one of said flap panels comprising at least a first portion having indicia thereon related to said computer program and releasably secured via at least one perforated line to the remaining portion thereof to enable said first indicia bearing portion to be torn from said package for use separate and apart from said package, yet leaving at least one portion of said one flap panel capable of disposition over said diskette to ensure that said diskette does not fall out of said package when said package is closed.
A package for holding at least one magnetic diskette for use in a computer disk drive, said diskette having a computer program recorded thereon, said package being formed of a planar material which has been cut to a shape and folded along predetermined lines to form plural panels defining a closeable hollow chamber in which said diskette may be disposed, said panels comprising a base panel on which said diskette is disposed, a pair of flap panels each being folded along respective fold lines over a portion of said base panel and the diskette disposed thereon, a first cover panel being folded along a respective fold line over said base panel and said flap panels, securement means associated with said first cover panel for holding said first cover panel and said flap panels over the base panel to thereby enclose said diskette within said package and preclude it from accidental removal, said package being dimensioned to hold a floppy diskette of a first size thereon, further including an insert means in the form of a planar panel having a recess therein, said insert panel being arranged to be disposed within said package to hold a magnetic diskette within said recess, said recess being dimensioned to hold a conventional diskette therein of a second size smaller than said first size.
