A packaging device is provided for packaging at least one disc-shaped item such as, for example, a recording media disc such as a CD, a CD-ROM or a DVD. The packaging device includes a first member which is attached to a storage device used for the storage of materials other than the disc-shaped media. The chamber includes means for maintaining the disc media in a stable state within the chamber, including a structure defining support for the disc media such that the disc media is allowed to rotate, while limiting the linear movement of the disc media both perpendicular to and parallel to the plane of the media. Said structure may include at least one projection thereon, said projection being adapted to retain the disc-shaped media on the structure. An optional shoulder element may also be provided, said shoulder element extending from the inner surface of the first member and being adapted to separate the disc-shaped media from the inner surface. The disc-shaped media is also retained within the inner chamber by means of inner surface of the first member on the one side, and the lid or cover of the storage device on the other. The first member may be attached to the storage device by a variety of means, but in the preferred embodiment, the first member includes a skirt running along the perimeter thereof, which skirt is adapted to slide under and be retained by a raised lip rim of the storage device. Alternate attachment means include seating the first member on top of the storage device and sealing it thereon, attaching it by means of a compression fit, or using adhesive means. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.
