Claims
- 1. A three-panel, seamless jacket for a compact disc, consisting of three panels and one flap as follows:
- a first square-shaped panel having a peripheral size to encompass a compact disc;
- a second square-shaped panel joined to said first panel along a first edge to overlay the first panel to form a compact disc receiving packet, wherein the second panel is the same size as the first panel;
- a single flap attached to said first panel along a second edge of the first panel other than the first edge of the first panel which is joined to the second panel, the flap being folded to overlay an outer surface of the second panel;
- a third square-shaped panel attached to the first panel along a third edge of the first panel, the third panel being foldable over the outer surface of the second panel and the flap, wherein the third panel is the same size as the first panel; and
- means to retain the third panel in position overlaying the second panel and flap with the pocket formed between the first and second panels accessible from an open end opposite from one of the first, second and third edges, thereby forming a jacket having an interior for receiving a compact disc and an exterior for receiving printing thereon, wherein the single flap is positioned between the second and third panels so that the jacket has: (a) a flapless exterior, thereby minimizing difficulty of printing thereon, and (b) a flapless interior, thereby minimizing scratching of the disc.
- 2. A paper board blank for a jacket for an optical storage disc; consisting of three panels and one flap; as follows:
- a first square-shaped panel having a peripheral size to encompass an optical storage disc;
- a second square-shaped panel joined to a first edge of the first panel along a first fold line, the second panel being foldable along the first fold line to overlay the first panel, wherein the second panel is the same size as the first panel;
- a single flap joined to a second edge of the first panel along a second fold line; and
- a third square-shaped panel joined to a third edge of the first panel along a third fold line, the third panel being foldable over the second panel and extending the entire distance between the third fold line and an opposite edge of the first panel when folded, and wherein the third panel is the same size as the first panel, thereby forming
- a jacket having an interior for receiving an optical storage disc and an exterior for receiving printing thereon, wherein the single flap is positioned between the second and third panels so that the jacket has: (a) a flapless exterior, thereby minimizing difficulty of printing thereon, and (b) a flapless interior, thereby minimizing scratching of the disc.
