Abstract
A sleeve for storing and displaying a videocassette comprising a clear plastic, elongated rectangular one-piece member formed with a hollow interior storage chamber completely enclosed except for an end opening through which a videocassette is inserted into and removed from the chamber. A chipboard cover having printed indicia thereon identifying a pre-recorded program on the videocassette is retained within the chamber and slidably receives the videocassette therein. A pair of diametrically-disposed interiorly-facing lug member is formed on the front and rear walls of the sleeve and extend into the end opening to retain the videocassette within the chipboard sleeve. Aperture means is formed in the rear wall of the sleeve to permit removal of the videocassette from the sleeve. Such aperture means comprises one or more finger holes to permit application of finger pressure on the videocassette to overcome the frictional engagement of the videocassette by the lug means. The chipboard cover can be retained in the sleeve by the lug means upon removal of the videocassette from the sleeve.
