When we were closed stack, we kept the originals in their original packaging and made display cases with black and white reproductions of the packaging. When checked out, the display case would be placed in the shelf space of the title in the closed stack section. The when the DVD was returned it was easy to return the display case to the public shelving. Good luck. Mike
