FAQs
Will these boxes fit gatefold vinyl records?
Yes, standard gatefold records fit comfortably, though thicker multi-disc box sets may require more space than a single 19L box provides.
Can these be stored in a garage?
Yes, they are durable enough for a garage, but keep them off the floor and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature swings to prevent plastic degradation.
Are these boxes BPA-free?
Yes, the materials used in Really Useful Boxes are generally safe, but they are designed for storage rather than food contact.
How many records can fit in one 19L box?
Typically, one 19L XL box can hold approximately 40 to 50 standard LPs depending on the thickness of the sleeves and protective outer jackets.
Is the material flexible or rigid?
The material is semi-rigid, designed to hold its shape under load while maintaining enough flexibility to prevent shattering upon minor impact.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not snap shut securely
Check that the contents are not protruding above the rim of the box and ensure no debris is stuck in the locking mechanism.
Box feels brittle or develops stress marks
Do not overload with excessive weight and avoid storing in areas with constant direct sunlight or freezing temperatures.
Surface is scratched
Use a specialized plastic polish if the scratches are superficial, though preventative care with a soft cloth is recommended.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Perfect dimensions for 12-inch vinyl records
- Transparent plastic makes inventory management easy
- Sturdy clip-lock mechanism keeps lids secure
- Stackable design maximizes floor and shelf space
- Durable, long-lasting construction
Cons
- Fixed size may not fit oversized records or box sets
- Plastic can become brittle if exposed to extreme cold
- Not airtight, so not suitable for long-term protection against humidity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply align the lid, press down until the clip-lock handles engage with an audible click, and stack. To maintain the life of the plastic, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or cloud the surface. A simple wipe-down with a soft, damp microfiber cloth is sufficient for dust removal. Ensure the boxes are placed on a level surface; while the boxes are stackable, stacking on uneven floors can cause the base box to warp or tilt under extreme pressure.
