Handle your vinyl
Vinyl records are precious objects, so you always have to handle them carefully. When you take them out of their covers, make sure you do not touch the grooves. If you leave traces on the HDPE record, they can modify the sound, which would be a pity. At the moment of manipulating the picture disc, you must only touch the edge and the middle label.
Protect the covers
The inner protective record sleeves can trap dust and over time also scratch your vinyl like sandpaper. Therefore, it is recommended to keep your discs in a special inner sleeve with an antistatic layer, to make sure they do not catch dust. Use a HDPE record Inner sleeves around the outer cover to protect it. UK experts like Sleeves-n-more do not place the disc on the outer cover, but behind it, to avoid "ringwear".
Storage
You should keep your disks straight and upright. Never place your vinyl picture disc record sleeves horizontally, and above all, do not stack them one on top of the other, because those below will end up not being able to support the weight and could even bend. A shelving system will allow you to store them vertically.
Classification
If you have an extensive collection of protective records and record sleeves, it can be frustrating not to be able to find the one you want to hear. Give your collection a little structure by sorting your albums by categories, using disk separators. Organise them by name, chronologically or alphabetically. In addition, this will make your collection look even more professional.
