Abstract

A reusable plastic package (1) for securely holding and displaying a rectangular article such as a compact disc. The package includes a housing (2) having a rectangular-shaped storage compartment for storing an article in the compartment. An adjacent smaller compartment (5) functions as a lock compartment with a slide plate (3), mounted thereon and movable across a portion of the access opening of the storage compartment for releasably securing the article in the storage compartment. Deflectable locking levers (34) are formed within the lock compartment (5) and engage with mating projections (52, 53) formed on the slide plate (3) when in the locked position. A key (80) is insertable through openings formed in the end wall of the lock compartment which disengages the locking levers from the projections to enable the slide plate to be moved to the unlocked position. Cutouts are formed with complementary shaped retaining flanges and locking tabs of an adjacent package to permit nesting of the adjacent packages.
