DVD/CD Trays Giveaway
by Andrew Susalla 05 May '26

05 May '26

Hello everyone, I am looking to give away several boxes of DVD and CD trays that we have had sitting around for years and will probably never use. These trays do not work with the One-Time locking cases that we use for our DVDs so I'm hoping that a library that doesn't use those cases will be able to use these trays. I've attached pictures of all the trays that I have available. "Style 1" is a single-sided tray that will fit into a One-Time case but it's not a strong fit. The trays that we actually use with the One-Time cases have longer prongs on each side for fitting into the holders inside the case. The part number according to the box is "OTDVD-TB-1". I have 3 Midwest Tape boxes of these. "Style 2" is another kind of single-sided tray that I have about 40 (total) of. "Style 3" and "Style 4" are both double-sided trays. I have one Midwest Tape box of style 3 and half a box of style 4. "CD Double-Disc" is a double-sided tray that snaps into a regular CD jewel case after you take out the central tray. We don't buy music CDs any more and we use tougher plastic cases than jewel cases. I have a large box of these. If anyone thinks they can use these, please let me know with your RIDES code and I will be happy to send them your way. Thank you.
