Package for disc-like recording medium

Abstract

The present invention relates to a package for disc-like recording medium having a storage body made of a sheet of paper material and which is composed of a plurality of members formed by respectively folding a plurality of broken lines and in which a disc-like recording medium can be stored such that the disc-like recording medium can be freely inserted into and ejected from the package for disc-like recording medium. In a conventional envelope with CD label window, an envelope main body and a film are made of different paper materials and problems arise, in which two kinds of paper materials should be prepared. A package for disc-like recording medium according to the present invention has a storage body formed from a sheet of a paper material by a cutting-process and which is composed of a plurality of members formed by folding a plurality of broken lines, wherein a window portion is formed on one member to expose a CD indication plane and wherein a CD can be stored therein such that it can be freely inserted into and ejected from the package for disc-like recording medium. A plurality of members has a CD back member ( 11 ) opposing the back of the CD, a CD holder member ( 12 ) overlaid over the CD back member by folding a broken line to hold a CD thereon, a window portion ( 17 ) to expose the indication plane of the CD held on the CD holder member and a recess insertion slot ( 20 ) for a CD. A frame body member ( 13 ) overlaid over the CD holder member by folding a broken line and a CD upper surface member ( 14 ) overlaid over the frame body member by folding a broken line so as to cover the CD indication plane exposed to the window portion of this frame body member are unitarily formed as one body. According to the present invention, a suitable medium such as a CD can be freely stored in this package for disc-like recording medium in such a manner that it can be freely inserted into and ejected from this package for disc-like recording medium. Also, it is possible for a user to reliably read indicated contents on the indication plane of the disc-like recording medium such as the CD through this window portion.
