Vinyl Collector Basics Done Right

Big Fudge premium vinyl record inner sleeves are made from bright white, heavyweight paper (20 lbs) that is both acid and alkaline-free. Designed by collectors for collectors, these sleeves feature exterior seams instead of interior seams, making it easier to slide your records in without wearing down the sleeve. We also use rounded corners instead of square corners to ensure a perfect fit in any album cover. There’ll be no more scuffing, static build-up, or dust.

We offer record jackets for both 12-inch and 7-inch records. Both are available in 50x or 100x packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important for vinyl record inner sleeves to be acid-free?

Acid-free paper ensures longevity for your vinyl records. Regular paper can release acids over time, which might damage the vinyl surface, causing audio degradation. Acid-free vinyl inner sleeves preserve the record's quality and prevent unnecessary wear.

How do round corners on inner vinyl record sleeves benefit users?

Round corners on paper record sleeves make sliding vinyl in and out easier without causing damage or scratches. Sharp corners can catch on the record's edge or the outer sleeve, risking harm. Rounded designs minimize this risk, ensuring a smoother experience.

Are all inner sleeves the same size, and do these sleeves fit different vinyl sizes?

Most inner sleeves are designed for 12-inch records, commonly used for LPs. However, vinyl records come in various sizes, like 7-inch and 10-inch. Choosing the correct vinyl inner sleeve size ensures a snug fit and optimum protection for your specific vinyl size.

Product Information

What are the dimensions of your 12” outer sleeves?

Our 12" outer sleeves measure 12.75 x 12.75 inches.

What is “mil” and what does it mean for the thickness of your sleeves?

Mil is not an mL (milliliters), but rather a micrometer measurement equating to approximately a thousandth of an inch. Pretty thin, in other words! Our outer record sleeves are 3 mil thick.

Will my double or triple LPs fit in your outer sleeves?

It depends on which LP release you have and how many layers of inner liner there are. That said, our sleeves are large enough for most double LPs if you have the original jacket.

The fit would be pretty snug around double or gatefold album covers. With a single "regular" LP there should be a little room left in the sleeve.

Triple LPs are often packaged as a collector’s box set and have inner liners that add to the thickness, so we do not recommend one sleeve for these.

What materials are your outer sleeves made from?

Our outer sleeves are made from HDPP — high-density polypropylene. This material is considered archival safe as it is as close to PH neutral as technically possible with plastic. Additionally, the material does not contain any plasticizers.

What are the ingredients of the cleaning solution in your Cleaning Kit?

The ingredients are water and minimal amounts of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (isn't that a mouthful), disodium edetate dihydrate (another one!), and preservatives. The cleaning solution in our Cleaning Kit does not contain alcohol and is safe to use on your most precious items.  Enjoy!

What are the ingredients of your record cleaning solution in the Record Friend™?

The ingredients are:

• 90% water
• 9.7% Isopropanol
• 0.3% 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one

What makes your brushes in your record cleaning kit so special?

Instead of carbon, which is used in most record brushes, our record brushes are made from velvet. Velvet guarantees that no scratches or blemishes will be left by the brush. Plus, you’ll also find it works for other precious devices in your home, such as smartphones or tablets.

I’ve run out of record cleaner! Can I purchase this without buying a whole new kit?

Yes, of course. You can buy your refill cleaner here.

Are your inner record sleeves acid free and archival?

Yes, our inner record sleeves are both acid free and alkaline free, resulting in archival material that extends the longevity of your record collection.
