Abstract
Abstract A compact disc identification kit includes a base portion supporting an alignment post and a soft material surrounding the alignment post for the purpose of supporting and protecting a compact disc. A stamp pad support has a bore fittable over the alignment post to enable centering of the stamp pad, in this case an annular stamp ring, with respect to the compact disc. A stamp accommodation depression enables the mounting of the stamp pad support in the kit and about the alignment post when the kit is not in use.
