Storage package for recording medium

A storage package for a recording medium defining a central aperture therethrough, comprising:

• (A) a plurality of non-rigid panels movable between an open orientation and a closed orientation, each of said plurality of panels being overlapping in said closed orientation, and at least some of said plurality of panels being non-overlapping in said open orientation;
• and
• (B) a holder for a storage medium fixedly secured to one of said panels and extending intermediate a pair of said panels when said plurality of panels is in said closed orientation, said holder being formed of an easily but resiliently compressible material and being configured and dimensioned to extend snugly through the central aperture of the recording medium, thereby to retain the recording medium on said holder until the recording medium is forcibly removed therefrom, said holder having a pair of opposed end surfaces, one of said opposed end surfaces being adhesively secured to said one panel and the other of said opposed end surfaces being free, said free end surface of said holder being weakly adhesive, thereby to releasably maintain said pair of panels in said closed orientation, while permitting forcible movement of said plurality of panels to said open orientation.

A storage package for a recording medium defining a central aperture therethrough, comprising:

• (A) a plurality of non-rigid, non-plastic, substantially flexible panels formed of paperboard and movable between an open orientation and a closed orientation, each of said plurality of panels being overlapping in said closed orientation, and at least some of said plurality of panels being non-overlapping in said open orientation;
• and
• (B) a holder for a storage medium fixedly secured to one of said panels and extending intermediate a pair of said panels when said plurality of panels is in said closed orientation, said holder being formed of an easily but resiliently compressible foamed material and being configured and dimensioned as a cylinder to extend snugly through the central aperture of the recording medium, thereby to retain the recording medium on said holder until the recording medium is forcibly removed therefrom, said holder having a pair of opposed end surfaces, one of said opposed end surfaces being adhesively secured to said one panel and the other of said opposed end surfaces being free.
