Abstract
A disc package comprised of a paperboard carton adapted to store, e.g., a compact disc, and a separate paperboard sleeve of substantially the same thickness as the carton. The carton is slideable into and out of a shallow seat defined at one end of the sleeve. When the carton is seated in the sleeve, the assembly so formed is enclosed within a wrap to establish a disc package for a retail store's shelf. The sleeve cooperates with the carton when seated one with the other to provide an extended package length so that the package cannot be easily concealed by a retail consumer in order to protect against prospective retail store theft. The sleeve is thrown away after the package has been unwrapped, and after the carton has been separated from it. However, the carton itself is reusable, and constitutes a permanent storage box for the disc.
