Abstract
A package suitable as a mailer for discs such as compact discs and computer floppy discs includes a retention panel, lateral engagement sections and disc retainment tabs. The lateral engagement sections have an arc-like cutout along one edge. The lateral engagement sections are layed upon a portion of the retention panel such that the arc-like cutout of each lateral engagement section substantially corresponds to an edge of the disc. The lateral engagement sections define a space over the retention panel sufficient for accommodating and for providing lateral retention of the disc. The package also includes disc retainment tabs layed over the lateral engagement sections. The disc retainment tabs extend beyond the lateral engagement sections over at least a portion of the first surface of the retention panel to substantially engage at least a portion of a surface of the disc to retain the disc therein.
