Which Is the Best Vinyl Record Cover?

There are a number of options when it comes to vinyl sleeves. These include paper record sleeves, polythene record sleeves and what are known as archival-quality options. Each one offers a balance between protection quality, cost and simplicity. So, let’s take a look at what they offer to help you decide on the best vinyl sleeves.

Paper Sleeves

Paper sleeves are the most affordable option. There are many paper sleeves available of varying qualities, so there are a few things to look out for. You should only buy paper sleeves if they are made of heavyweight paper and are free of acid and alkaline. The cheapest paper sleeves out there are so low in price for a reason. Remember, these sleeves are there to protect your precious record collection.

Polythene Sleeves

Polythene record sleeves are durable and allow you to see the record so there is no need for a cut-out. This gives the sleeve greater structural integrity and means it is less likely to tear. It also minimises the chances of dust and dirt getting in.

Archival Quality Sleeves

These are the most expensive option. They are ultra-thin anti-static record sleeves that make for a smooth removal of your record with no snagging or catching that cause damage to the record or cover.

As with all purchases, when it comes to record sleeves, you pay for quality. Whether you are prepared to pay for the best in terms of record sleeves is a personal choice and it’s worth considering the financial and sentimental value of each record when making your decision.

Many vinyl connoisseurs splash out on the best covers for their most prized and valuable possessions but choose more affordable options for the rest of their collection.

What are the benefits of anti-static record sleeves?

It shows you have an appreciation for the finer things in life and that you ‘get’ what records are all about – the experience as much as the music itself.
