Abstract
A housing for storing disc-shaped information carriers, for example CD's, has a central part (14), two identical lid parts (10, 11), and a support plate (15) which extends from the central part and is situated between the lid parts. In order to increase the available space within the housing, the support plate (15) is flat on both sides and is asymmetrically positioned between the lid parts (10, 11) so as to form two spaces (17, 18) of different sizes between the lid parts and opposite sides of the support plate. Such spaces can accommodate information leaflets of different thickness.
