Vinyl Record Sleeves

Discobags

Printed Discobags are the most cost-effective vinyl sleeves in our range. Your vinyl gets packed directly to the discobag, so no inner sleeve is required.

These printed discobags are constructed from premium 250gsm white board, but alternative stocks are available too. Vinyl discobags suit our full range of specialist print finishes and can also be used as a card inner sleeve.

Available with or without central holes for no extra charge.

Single Outer Sleeves

Designed to take a record packed to an inner sleeve, our outer sleeves keep your prized vinyl safe with top quality materials.

Outer sleeves are the standard outer packaging for vinyl records. Due to their popularity, outer sleeves are heavily customisable with specialist card stocks and print finishes.

Standard outer sleeves come on 265gsm white/white card with a 3.5mm spine, however thicker card stocks and larger spines are available.

Gatefold Sleeves

Gatefolds have 4 panels of artwork and can come with 1 or 2 pockets, perfect for double vinyl releases or for including inserts, booklets or posters; or simply seal the second pocket shut and enjoy the extra design space.

Meticulously constructed from 320gsm board, vinyl gatefold sleeves have been considered a deluxe packaging option since the 60s; originally synonymous with concept albums.

Different card stocks and custom print finishes are available for gatefolds.

Tri-fold Sleeves

When more artwork is needed, step things up a level with a tri-fold sleeve, to have 6 panels of art, with the ability to hold multiple records and printed parts.

This is a monster of a product and is a great way of accommodating a release with lots of parts and achieving that wow factor for your release. Coming on 320gsm board as standard.

Printed Inner Sleeves

Printed inner sleeves have been a staple of vinyl pressing since the very beginning of record pressing.

Available in an array of paper and card stocks, with a variety of print finishes, you can't go wrong with a printed inner.

Printed Poly-lined Inner Sleeves

For so long, there was always that conundrum, do you opt for poly-lined inners which are best for vinyl protection, or printed inner sleeves for aesthetics. Well, ponder no more!

That's right, you can now have the best of both worlds with printed poly-lined inners. Available on either gloss art or offset uncoated paper, with the glue tabs on the outside.

Printed poly-lined inners can come with or without holes and with straight or bevelled corners.
