This week a workmate was cleaning up some old boxes of stuff ready to go to trash, and I could save these few floppy disk sleeves. Although these are all Japanese, the front designs are all in English since that's considered somewhat "cooler". Instructions on the back are bilingual though.
I've submitted this to The Original Disc Sleeve Archive where I hope they'll join the great collection.
1. 3M
2. FujiFilm
3, 4, 5. FujiFilm Super HR
6. Fujitsu FM Series
7. Fuji Xerox
8. Fuji Xerox System Service
9. Maxell
In my book, the Fujitsu one is a real keeper! "FM Series" refers to their home computer line, such as the FM-8 which used a 6809 CPU, the same as what was in the Radio Shack/Tandy Color Computer that we had at home in the 80's. Someday (when I have more space) I'll get me a FM-8!

Peter: Yes! We even had a special puncher that made square holes looking very professional. :)
