A casing board for organizing, storing, protecting and displaying communications media, such as papers, audio and video cassettes and compact discs, includes a substrate made of a relatively rigid material. The substrate includes a front cover portion, a rear cover portion and a spine portion positioned between and hingedly connected to the front cover portion and the rear cover portion. The casing board further includes an outer wrap made of a flexible, polyolefin material and sized to have longitudinal and lateral dimensions slightly greater than the longitudinal and lateral dimensions of the substrate. The outer wrap is positioned adjacent the exterior surface of the substrate with the longitudinal and lateral edges of the outer wrap turned over the periphery of the substrate and affixed, preferably with an adhesive, to the interior surface of the substrate. The casing board further includes a clear overlay made of a flexible, polyolefin material sized to have a longitudinal dimension slightly greater than the longitudinal dimension of the substrate. The clear overlay is positioned adjacent the outer wrap with the longitudinal edges of the clear overlay turned over the periphery of the substrate and affixed, preferably by thermal contact welding, to the longitudinal edges of the outer wrap. Accordingly, the clear overlay defines a transparent, exterior pocket that extends between the longitudinal edges of the casing board to display a single-sheet merchandising insert across the full width of the casing board.
