Audio Anatomy 100 Micron PVC 12" Vinyl Record Plastic Outer Sleeves are designed for vinyl collectors seeking robust protection for their 12-inch records. These transparent sleeves offer a cost-effective way to shield records from dust, fingerprints, and moisture, thereby enhancing sound quality and prolonging the life of both the vinyl and its cover. While they provide excellent basic protection, they are a supplementary item and do not replace the need for inner sleeves or regular cleaning for optimal record care.

These sleeves are made from certified PVC, which offers good protection. For the highest level of archival preservation, materials like polyethylene or polypropylene are often recommended due to their inert nature. However, PVC provides a robust barrier against environmental factors.
One pack contains 50 outer sleeves, allowing you to protect up to 50 individual 12-inch vinyl records.
Yes, these sleeves can be used with picture discs to protect both the disc surface and the artwork on the disc itself.
While these sleeves protect your records and help maintain their condition, they do not inherently add monetary value. The value of a record is determined by its rarity, pressing, condition, and demand.
Yes, these sleeves are suitable for long-term storage, providing essential protection against dust, moisture, and handling damage. For optimal long-term care, combine them with antistatic inner sleeves and store records upright in a stable environment.
An outer sleeve protects the record jacket and the vinyl itself from external elements like dust and scratches. An inner sleeve (often antistatic) is placed inside the record jacket, directly around the vinyl, to protect the playing surface from dust and static buildup.
Ensure the record and its cover are properly aligned before insertion. If the sleeve is new, it may loosen slightly with use. Storing sleeves in a temperature-controlled environment can help maintain flexibility.
This can be caused by prolonged exposure to UV light or certain chemicals. Store records away from direct sunlight and avoid using cleaning agents on the sleeves. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary.
These sleeves are designed for standard 12-inch records. If your record has an unusually thick or large gatefold cover, it may be a tight fit. Ensure you are not trying to fit a record with an exceptionally bulky insert.
Setup: To use the sleeves, simply slide your 12-inch vinyl record (still in its original inner sleeve and cover) into the Audio Anatomy outer sleeve. Ensure the record and its cover are aligned properly before insertion to avoid creasing.
Compatibility: These sleeves are specifically designed for standard 12-inch vinyl records. They should accommodate most gatefold covers, though very thick or oversized gatefolds might be a tight fit.
Care: To clean the outer sleeves, use a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the PVC and cloud the clarity of the sleeve. Store the sleeves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
