Abstract
In order to sell a multimedia product such as documentation and/or software and/or related toys or the like in an effective yet intriguing manner, a multi-compartment package is provided which includes first and second containers. The first container defines an enclosure for a first product such as documentation and/or toys, and it has a surface with an outwardly-facing channel formed therein. The second container defines an enclosure for a second product such as software in the form of diskettes, and it is formed to slide in the outwardly-facing channel in the first container. In addition, the multi-compartment package is formed in such a manner that the second container is retained within the outwardly-facing channel of the first container in a manner accommodating relative sliding movement therewithin.
