sleeves
ID a photo of a 12 inch vinyl halfway inserted into a transparent sleeve.
all our 12 inch records are protected by their own 250g polythene plastic sleeve*

we’ve chosen to use polythene sleeves as they are considered one of the more environmentally friendly options for protecting your records, and they don’t generally deteriorate over time so can be used for as long as you like
for more information about different kinds of sleeves for protecting your records, we reccomend this blog post from covers33.

*unless we feel it’s necessary, we don’t generally give plastic sleeves to our 7 inch records
ordering one record
ID a photo of two stiff, brown envelopes made to perfectly fit a 12 inch record. the envelope on top is sealed up, and stacked underneath it is a record with a 12 inch record halfway inserted into it
ID a photo of two squares of brown cardboard which are the exact same size as a 12 inch record. in between is a 12 inch record.
if you order just one record from us, we will send it to you in one of our perfectly sized envelopes as well as a couple* of specially-sized stiffening pieces of cardboard.
to save on cost and the environment, some of our stiffeners are from covers33 but some are from our own recycling which we’ve cut down to size ourselves.

*where possible we will fit a stiffener on either side of the record, if you order a double album, it may not always be possible to fit in two stiffeners. we will do everything we can to keep your record nice and safe on its adventure though :)
ordering multiple records
ID a photo of 5 12 inch vinyl records all neatly stacked into a box which is open and fits them perfectly
if you’re ordering multiple records from us, you will likely receive it in a box like this one. these boxes perfectly fit 5 records, so if you order more than 5 you might receive more than one package.
if you order less than five records we will stuff the box with other things* to make sure your records dont move around too much as they travel to you.

*where possible, we will use recycled materials to keep your records secure in their box, so expect to find reused tissue paper, or maybe a scrunched up plastic bag. colin is trained in packing museum objects, so they know what they’re doing when it comes to packing delicate items :)
