Abstract
Abstract An improved phonograph record jacket having at least one pocket to receive a phonograph record is provided. The jacket is formed from at least two blanks of sheet material, one superimposed upon the other with each blank containing two side by side panels. Glue flaps extend from the top and bottom edges of both panels of one of the blanks and are adhesively joined to the panels of the other blanks. A spine is formed by folding the joined blanks along the line separating the two panels. In the fold condition, the glue flaps cooperate to provide a palletlike support for the records to be contained therein thereby maintaining the records in a flat position so as to minimize the danger of warpage during record storage periods.
