A snap bar connects containers for storing and transporting multiple compact discs and other thin, flat objects. The multiple disc apparatus has multiple identical containers that are connected together by snap bars to form a stack configuration. Each container has a four-sided tray. Connected to a first end is an end cap that is hinged to the first side. A snap bar with an outward opening receiver is connected to the base of the tray. Two containers are connected by inserting the end cap of a first container into the snap bar of a second container. Tabs on the cap engage apertures in the snap bar, establishing a strong connection. The cap hinge then becomes the container hinge. Once connected the base of each container works as a cover for the underlying container. The compact discs or other flat objects can be reached by lifting the container above to the container where the object of interest is located. The multiple compact disc holders are compatible with paperboards and panels which are used to provide graphics and to hold accompanying booklets relating to the contents of the discs.
