Abstract A compact disc case and blank for forming the same. The case includes a pocket inside of an envelope for holding a compact disc. A cut-out portion provides easy grasping of the disc to permit removal and insertion into the case. A flap folds over the cut-out portion providing a closable case for holding and storing the disc. The flap has a detachable folded portion which can be used to place a mailing label on, then folded over and about the case and sealed to provide a mailing container. The folding portion can then be detached and the case is used to permanently store the disc.
