Abstract
A package for a cassette storage case ( ) that has a cassette insertion opening ( ) formed at one lateral side thereof, cassette guide cuts ( ) formed in main front and rear surfaces ( ) and ( ) thereof at the side of the opening ( ), and a cassette receiving space ( ) defined by the front and rear surfaces ( ) and ( ) and the other lateral side thereof, so that a tape cassette ( ) is inserted into the cassette receiving space ( ) through the cassette insertion opening ( ). A sealing/packaging tape ( ) is wound on the cassette storage case ( ) across the cassette insertion opening ( ) and ( ) is wider than the cassette guide cuts ( ) in the cassette storage case ( ). Thus the sealing/packaging tape ( ) covers the cassette guide cuts ( ) to seal and wrap the cassette storage case ( ). Thereby, a positive sealing and packaging can be realized with a reduced amount of the packaging material (to save the resources). This sealing and packaging permits to seal the cassette guide cuts ( ) formed in the cassette storage case ( ) being packaged, improve the appearance of the tape cassette as a commodity and facilitate unpacking of the cassette storage case ( ).
