Museum-Grade Protection
Your records are worth protecting. Standard paper inner sleeves shed fibers and generate static—two things that directly damage vinyl. These archival sleeves are the same material used by the Library of Congress for their audio collections. Rice paper layer prevents static. HDPE outer layer provides rigidity. Zero abrasion even after 200 insertion cycles.
Replace every paper sleeve in your collection. It is the single highest-impact upgrade you can make for under $30.
FAQ
Do these fit in the original jacket?
Yes. The sleeves are designed to fit inside standard 12″ record jackets. If the jacket is unusually tight, use the outer sleeve instead of forcing it.
How often should I replace sleeves?
Rice paper sleeves last 10+ years under normal conditions. Replace if you notice any discoloration, brittleness, or if the sleeve was exposed to mold.
FAQ
How many records will 25 sleeves cover?
25 records. Most collectors start with one pack for their most-played vinyl and gradually re-sleeve their entire collection.
Do outer sleeves fit over gatefold jackets?
Yes. The 3-mil polyethylene stretches to accommodate double and triple gatefold jackets without tearing.
How often should I replace inner sleeves?
Rice paper sleeves last 10+ years. Replace if discolored, brittle, or exposed to mold.
Will these sleeves generate static?
No. The rice paper layer is anti-static by design—unlike plain poly sleeves that can charge up and attract dust.
Can I write on the sleeves?
Use a soft pencil on the outer HDPE layer. Do not use ink or permanent markers—they can transfer to the record surface over time.
