1. A container for enclosing at least one compact disc of the type used for storing digital information recoverable by operation of a laser producing light incident on the disc surface between inner and outer radial disc edges;

  • the container comprising;

    a unitary, injection-molded plastic housing having at least one substantially planar interior surface and having a plurality of integral flexible fingers extended perpendicularly from said planar interior surface;

    said fingers being arranged in an annular configuration to form a hub for receiving said inner radial edge of said disc in press fit engagement therewith, at least one of said fingers having an outwardly radially disposed integral knob formed below an upper surface of said finger;

    said planar interior surface also having an integral support ring extending perpendicularly therefrom and disposed in spaced symmetrical relation about said hub to receive said disc surface, the height of said support ring above said interior planar surface being less than the height of said knob above said interior planar surface for securing said disc between said ring and said knob in spaced parallel relation to said planar interior surface; and

    a plurality of curved documentation support members spaced from said ring and also extending integrally from said interior planar surface, each of said documentation support members being elongated and having a height above said interior planar surface for supporting overlying documentation in a position spaced from said disc to prevent contact between said documentation and said disc within said container.
