Abstract
A storage tray for compact discs (CD's) having a central opening consisting of a flat panel base with a plurality of raised cantilever members (fingers), the plurality of raised fingers being referred to as a rosette. The ends of the fingers form a circular opening and are unattached at the end. The fingers have on the underside thereof, a reinforcing rib. Some or all of the fingers may have the reinforcing rib. The fingers with the rib still have sufficient flexibility to move slightly inward and outward when positioning a CD over the rosette.
