Abstract

Abstract A package contains a disc (1) having a centre hole (2) and comprises a bottom section (3) having a bottom (4) and transverse walls (5-8) and accommodating a disc holder (9) provided with central holding means (10) which cooperate elastically with the wall of the centre hole of the disc. A cover (11) is pivotally connected to the bottom section and extends parallel to the bottom over the disc and over the larger part of the disc holder but exposes for a smaller part a non-covered portion (12) of the disc holder adjacent a first transverse wall (5). The cover (11) is connected to a second transverse wall (6) of the bottom section (3), which second transverse wall adjoins the first transverse wall (5).
