       7 . The packaging device of  claim 6  wherein the first consumer product and the second consumer product are dissimilar.  
   
   
       8 . The packaging device of  claim 6  wherein the second consumer product is a compact disc.  
   
   
       9 . A method of packaging a compact disc with another consumer item comprising the steps of: 
 (a) obtaining a packaging device comprising:    a plurality of side walls, a bottom wall and a lid interconnected to form a hollow internal chamber, the side walls extending vertically upwardly from the bottom wall; the hollow interior being divided by a moveable partition to form a lower internal chamber and a upper internal chamber; each of the plurality of side walls, bottom wall, lid and moveable partition being formed from a single-piece, continuous unit of packaging material which is bendable at selected locations to form the lower internal chamber and the upper internal chamber;    (b) placing a consumer item within the hollow interior;    (c) positioning the moveable partition above the consumer consumer item to form the lower internal chamber and the upper internal chamber;    (d) placing a compact disc within the upper internal chamber;    (e) position and securing the lid to seal the compact disc within the upper internal chamber.    
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising the step of securing the compact disc to the moveable partition.
