A packaging device is provided for retaining a disc-shaped media. In its preferred form the device comprises a lid for a container having an interior and an exterior surface, wherein the lid may be repeatedly attached to and removed from the container, preferably by means of a compression fit, and wherein the exterior surface of the lid includes a recess within which a disc-shaped media, such as a digital media disk, may be stored. In one embodiment, the disc-shaped media is first placed within a protective envelope, which envelope is then inserted into or applied to the recess and retained therein. Various means for retaining the envelope in or on the recess are contemplated, including adhesives such as fugitive glue or double-side tape, or sealing members. In an alternate embodiment, the protective envelope is not necessary, and the disc-shaped media is inserted in or applied to the recess and held therein by the same retaining means. A separate protective element may be provided to protect the media surface of the media disc. A method is further provided for packaging such disc-shaped item and other material within the packaging device.

What is claimed is: 1. A lid of the type that may be removably attached to a container having a first opening therein and being adapted to receive contents other than media disks, said lid being adapted to cover said first opening when said lid is attached to said container and to simultaneously carry a digital media disk, said lid comprising an interior and an exterior surface, said exterior surface including a recess provided therein for receiving said digital media disk, wherein said recess is defined by a floor and side walls, and said exterior surface including a second opening providing the sole access to said recess, and wherein said second opening is dimensioned so that said digital media disk can pass therethrough, and said floor and said side walls are dimensioned to receive and retain said digital media disk within said recess, said lid further including retaining means for securing said digital media disk within said recess, wherein said digital media disk is secured within a protective element and said retaining means comprises a adhesive applied between said protective element and said floor, said adhesive being adapted to removably attach said protective element to said lid within said recess. 2. The lid of claim 1, wherein said adhesive comprises glue applied between said protective element and said floor, said glue being adapted to removably attach said protective element to said lid within said recess. 3. The lid of claim 1, wherein said adhesive comprises double-sided tape applied between said protective element and said floor, said double-sided tape being adapted to removably attach said protective element to said lid within said recess. 4. The lid of claim 1, wherein said recess is cylindrical in shape and has a diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of said protective element. 5. The lid of claim 4, wherein said recess has a depth slightly greater than the thickness of said protective element. 6. A lid of the type that may be removably attached to a container having a first opening therein and being adapted to receive contents other than media disks, said lid being adapted to cover said first opening when said lid is attached to said container and to simultaneously carry a digital media disk, said lid comprising an interior and an exterior surface, said exterior surface including a recess provided therein for receiving said digital media disk, wherein said recess is defined by a floor and side walls, and said exterior surface including a second opening providing the sole access to said recess, and wherein said second opening is dimensioned so that said digital media disk can pass therethrough, and said floor and said side walls are dimensioned to receive and retain said digital media disk within said recess, said lid further including retaining means for securing said digital media disk within said recess, wherein said digital media disk is secured within a protective envelope and said means for securing comprises an adhesive applied between said protective envelope and said floor, and wherein said protective envelope is circular in shape and of a diameter larger than said the external diameter of said digital media disk, and wherein said recess is cylindrical in shape and of a diameter larger than said protective envelope. 7. A method for packaging a digital media disk within a storage device of the type that may be removably attached to a container having a first opening therein and being adapted to receive contents other than media disks, said method comprising the steps of: providing a lid having an interior and an exterior surface, said exterior surface including a recess provided therein for receiving said digital media disk, wherein said recess is defined by a floor and side walls, and said exterior surface including a second opening providing the sole access to said recess, and wherein said second opening is dimensioned so that said digital media disk can pass therethrough, and said floor and said side walls are dimensioned to receive and retain said digital media disk within said recess, said lid further including retaining means for securing said digital media disk within said recess, wherein said digital media disk is secured within a protective envelope and said means for securing comprises an adhesive applied between said protective envelope and said floor, and wherein said protective envelope is circular in shape and of a diameter larger than said the external diameter of said digital media disk, and wherein said recess is cylindrical in shape and of a diameter larger than said protective envelope; securing said digital media disk within said protective envelope; inserting said protective envelope and said digital media disk within said recess; removably attaching said protective envelope containing said digital media disk to said lid by means of said adhesive; and removably attaching said lid to said container. 8. A device for packaging a digital media disc together with materials other than said disc-shaped media, said materials being stored within a container having a rim defining an opening, said packaging device comprising: a lid having an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein said exterior surface includes a flat area being sufficiently dimensioned so as to provide support for stability of said disc-shaped media and upon which said disc-shaped media may be disposed; means for attaching said lid to said container about said opening such that said lid covers said opening, wherein said lid is adapted to be repeatedly removed and reattached to said container to provide repeated unobstructed access through said opening; and retaining means for securing said digital media disk upon said flat area, said retaining means comprising a protective envelope for receiving said digital media disk, said protective envelope containing said digital media disk being removably insertable upon said flat area, wherein said retaining means further includes an adhesive applied between said protective envelope and said flat area, said adhesive being adapted to removably attach said digital media disk to said lid. 9. The lid of claim 8, wherein said adhesive comprises glue applied between said protective envelope and said flat area, said glue being adapted to removably attach said digital media disk secured within said protective envelope to said lid upon said flat area. 10. The lid of claim 8, wherein said adhesive comprises double-sided tape applied between said protective envelope and said flat area, said double-sided tape being adapted to removably attach said digital media disk secured within said protective envelope to said lid upon said flat area.
