These hubs have different heights so that discs placed over them are partly overlapping. The case sections are pivotally connected (5, 6) to each other and/or to a spine (4). #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are included for : (1) a packing assembly including at least two information carriers; and (2) a method of packing CDs or DVDs. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# As a packaging case for optical disks such as CDs or DVDs. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# More discs can be packaged inside a case which takes up less space and is made from a single material. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows the open case with two discs inside. 2, 3 : case sections 4 : spine 5, 6 : living hinges 10A : high hub 10B : low hub 12 : discs.
