Abstract
A CD holder is prepared from three separate components comprising, an outer folder component, an intermediate panel, and an inner storage compartment. The storage compartment is die cut to provide a substantially circular opening having at least two spaced contact points and an integral spring element spaced around the periphery of the opening. CD's of varying diameter are captured by and retained in the storage compartment through the complementary action of the two or more contact points and the spring element.
