Sleeve for holding digital video discs and graphics

A flexible sleeve adapted for holding a single digital video disc in a first pocket and accompanying graphics page having a substantially greater length than said digital video disc in a second pocket on an opposing side, comprising:

• a non-woven front sheet having a top edge and a bottom edge having a first length and two lateral edges having a second length approximately about 20% greater than said first length, said front sheet further comprising a flap defined by a cut originating and terminating proximate to said top edge of said non-woven front sheet;
• a non-woven middle sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges with substantially the same dimension as said front sheet;
• a transparent back sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges with substantially the same dimensions as said front sheet and said non-woven front sheet, said non-woven middle sheet and said transparent back sheet interconnected along at least said bottom edges and said lateral edges to form said first pocket adapted for holding the digital video disc and said second pocket adapted for holding the accompanying graphics;
• and
• a disc stopping seal formed by interconnecting said front sheet and said middle sheet approximately about 80% from said top edge toward said bottom edge to prevent the digital video disc from falling into a lower portion of said first pocket and positioned not to impede the removal of the digital video disc from said first pocket.

A flexible sleeve for holding a digital video disc on one side and an accompanying graphics page on an opposing side, said graphics page having a length substantially longer than a diameter of the digital video disc, comprising:

• a first pocket having a first length and a first width operatively sized to receive the digital video disc, said first pocket having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges, and defined by a front interconnected to a non-woven middle sheet along at least said bottom edge and said two lateral edges;
• a disc stopping seal interconnecting said front sheet and said non-woven middle sheet of said first pocket at a distance from said top edge of at least about the diameter of the digital video disc and positioned to elevate the digital video disc above said bottom edge of said first pocket;
• a flap in said first pocket defined by a cut originating and terminating in said front sheet proximate to said top edge and operatively sized to hold the digital video disc within said first pocket;
• and
• a second pocket positioned on the opposite side of said first pocket and having a second length at least about 25% greater than said distance from said top edge to said disc stopping seal, said second pocket defined by the interconnection of a transparent back sheet interconnected at least on a bottom edge and two lateral edges to at least said non-woven middle sheet and operatively sized to receive the graphics page accompanying the digital video disc.

The combination of a recording disc having a first diameter, a graphics page associated with the recording disc having a first length greater than said first diameter, and a sleeve for holding said recording disc and said graphics page, comprising:

• a flexible front sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges;
• a non-woven middle sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges;
• a transparent back sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges, said front sheet, said non-woven middle sheet and said back sheet interconnected along at least said bottom edges and said lateral edges to form a first pocket for holding said recording disc and a second pocket on an opposing side for holding said graphics page;
• and
• a disc stopping seal formed by interconnecting said front sheet and said middle sheet at a predetermined location between said top edge and said bottom edge and to support said recording disc, wherein said first pocket has a total length substantially less than said second pocket and said recording disc is elevated within said first pocket to facilitate removal from said first pocket.

The combination of a recording disc, a graphics page associated with the recording disc, and a sleeve for holding said recording disc and said graphics page, comprising:

• (a) said recording disc having a first diameter and a recording surface on at least one side;
• (b) said graphics page having a substantially rectangular shape and a first length in a longitudinal direction greater than said first diameter of said recording disc;
• (c) said sleeve comprising a flexible front sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges;
• a non-woven middle sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges;
• a transparent back sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge and two lateral edges, said front sheet, said non-woven middle sheet and said back sheet interconnected along at least said bottom edges and said lateral edges to form a first pocket for holding said recording disc and a second pocket on an opposing side for holding said graphics page;
• and
• a disc stopping seal formed by interconnecting said front sheet and said middle sheet at a predetermined location between said top edge and said bottom edge to support said recording disc, wherein said first pocket has a total length substantially less than said second pocket and said recording disc is elevated to facilitate removal from said first pocket.
