Protective envelope for CD, DVD, other disc media, or other discs

摘要

Disclosed are embodiments of a folded paper CD/DVD case. The case can be biodegradable, and uses reduced or minimal material. The case can be made without the use of cuts or glue, nor does the case require special equipment or machinery to manufacture. The case can hold plural media such as, e.g., two CDs or DVDs. The footprint of the case can be reduced or minimal, that is, e.g., only minimally larger than one or more CDs or DVDs it will hold. The case can have a pentagonal or pentagon-like shape.

主权项

1. A process for making a pentagonal envelope, container or protective holder, comprising:
folding a rectangular sheet along a diagonal from corner to corner and creating a first crease, thereby producing a two-layer triangular shape with two single-layer protruding flaps; folding and creasing the protruding flaps over their opposing edges, leaving only the triangular shape comprising a central area, two acute angled corners and one obtuse angled corner; a step for determining a location of the next folds; folding the acute angled corners of the triangular shape across the central area of the triangular shape creating a pentagon shape; unfolding the pentagon shape as far as the first crease, which remains folded with plainly visible unfolded creases from the steps subsequent to the first crease; opening the triangular shape; inverting the acute angled corners of the triangular shape by a fold along portions of the unfolded crease lines created in forming the triangular shape that were folded across the central area of the triangular shape, so that they become located inside the triangular shape, with a portion of the first crease proximate to each acute angled corner becoming folded and creased in the opposite direction; thereby recreating the pentagon shape, plus creating two partial flaps extending from the top of the pentagon shape, plus two chambers or pockets almost entirely separated by a layer of paper inside the main shape; closing the pentagon shape; and folding the top flaps over and tucking them into the pentagonal shape, thereby creating an enclosure.
