There is disclosed a storage container for a recording medium, e.g. a compact disc comprising
(a) a base (12); (b) a recording medium holder (14) including means (16) for holding the recroding medium thereon and being pivotally attached at a first end (54) thereof to a first end (24) of the base such that a second, free end (64) thereof is adapted for movement between a first position and a second position; (c) a cover (20) pivotally attached at a first end (90) thereof to the first end (24) of the base; and (d) means (22) for actuating movement of the holder relative to the base,
whereby, when the cover (20) is pivoted relative to the base (12), the actuating means (22) causes the holder (14) to move from the first position to the second position and to present the recording medium (18) for use away from the base (12). There is also described a method of manufacturing such a storage container.
