Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for inserting graphics (graphic pieces) inside a cover sheet to be mounted thereon attached to the surface of a box so as to mount the graphics on the box in an optical disc package for storing an optical disc such as a digital video disc (DVD) and the like.
  • graphics graphics
  • DVD digital video disc
  • a DVD has been recently drawn the attention as a storage medium of a large capacity of image information, and it has become widespread quickly.
  • the DVD is normally stored in a box and sold as a DVD package.
  • a cover of a storage box is opened to pick up the DVD from the box and is used.
  • Fig. 10 shows an example of the construction of a DVD package.
  • a DVD 100 is generally stored in a box 101 comprising a box body 101a and a cover body 101b wherein the box body 101a is closable by way of a hinge section 101c.
