Accordion Style CD Cases
Compact Discs, better known as CD’s are delicate and sensitive information storage mediums. They consist of two plastic discs with a magnetic film sandwiched between them. This method of storing information has replaced floppy disc that was most commonly used. Longevity of compact disks is assured if they are handled carefully.
Compact discs are manufactured by using heat treatment methods to paste the plastic discs with magnetic film between them. Exposure to heat or dust is likely to affect data stored on them. To safeguard discs from damage they should be kept away from direct sunlight and most importantly dust. Heat, physically damages the magnetic film and dust affects laser lens that reads information off a disc.
CD cases provide a better solution for these problems. When there are a large number of discs to be protected, it becomes convenient to store them in a compact disc book or a CD spindle. A newer style of storing CD’s is the Accordion Style CD Cases. They are a convenient method to protect CD’s and provide ease of use.
