A container for thin rigid envelopes, each of which is a solid and has length greater than width the thickness much less than width－such as the package for a compact disc record album－having connected lower and upper levels. The lower level defines transverse and longitudinal axes of the container as well as a number of cavities with upwardly-disposed open ends, and the upper level comprises an exterior retaining wall and opposed ledges extending at an angle from the wall. An envelope may be inserted, width-edge down, into and held in one of the cavities; alternatively, such envelope may be placed on the upper level, length-wise on its lower edge and transverse the longitudinal axis of the container, with its lower corners supported, respectively, by the ledges. A spacer may be inserted into a cavity to separate the envelopes into distinct organizational groupings.

A container for thin rigid envelopes, each envelope having uniform size and characterized by length greater than width and thickness not more than 25% of width, wherein the envelopes may be organized in each of two modes and which comprises a bottom; a lower perimetral member extending upwardly from the bottom; interior wall portions connected with the bottom and having a height not exceeding the height of the lower perimetral member which define a plurality of cavities whereof each has an upper open end of which one dimension exceeds the width of the envelope but is less than the length of the envelope and another dimension exceeds the thickness of the envelope; a first ledge extending from the perimetral member along one portion of the container, a second ledge, opposed to the first ledge and extending from the perimetral member along another portion of the container, and an upper retaining member connected with each ledge; so for one organizational mode an envelope may be inserted, width-edge downward, into a cavity and carried on the bottom, and, for another organizational mode, at least one such envelope may be placed length-wise onto the opposed first and second ledges, supported at each of its lower corners by one of the ledges, and kept from lateral displacement by the upper retaining member.
