These are polyethylene sleeves. They're nothing fancy. They are meant to protect your records & more specifically their cases. I grew up listening to records before they became trendy; it was just how you bought music. These sleeves are far better than any sleeve records come with. They are thick & durable. I was also surprised that they both fit a single LP snugly (as they should) & can stretch enough to fit a 4-disc LP, which I did not expect. This product does its (albeit simple) job extremely well & I'd recommend them to anyone. I even shopped around, and can assure you that you won't find a better deal - certainly not with this level of convenience. I'm the sort of collector who actually listens to their records. I don't just own vinyl as a status symbol or talking point. Only recently did I even start to care about the difference in sound characteristics between CDs & vinyl. For me, vinyl is just fun to buy, enjoyable to play/listen to, and until recently CHEAP. With that in mind, I initially 2nd guessed my decision to buy new sleeves figuring it didn't make much difference. To my pleasant surprise, my records look nicer on the shelf, I'm confident that they are well protected, they're actually easier to get off the shelf, etc. I can't say enough good things about this purchase. Like the headline says: if you buy records, buy these sleeves. Review: Buy 100 from one andwatch it cost much more - Here's what you need to know about these sleeves. First, they house single and double/gatefold LPs perfectly. Even triple or larger sized gatefolds fit, though the fit may be a bit snug. They are about a medium thickness. Plenty durable for almost anything I could imagine you could want to do with your LPs. Do not worry about them being too flimsy, because they aren't. If you think the price is expensive (which I do kinda think is just for a bunch of plastic), try buying them from stores. Buy 100 from one and watch it cost much more. I have seen other reviews mention them tearing on the seams. Remember, people are much more likely to write a bad review than a good one. I have gone through 200 of them so far and not a single one has torn. This isn't saying it is impossible for them to tear, but it is very unlikely that they will. Overall, these are what you are looking for if you are a vinyl collector. ## Features - Archival Quality Material: Crafted from high-clarity virgin polyethylene made with USA resin, manufactured in Mexico, offering superior transparency and clarity compared to standard Chinese polyethylene for reliable and long-lasting vinyl record protection. - Heavy-Duty 3 Mil Thickness: These sleeves provide exceptional durability and robust protection, keeping your vinyl records safe from dust, scratches, and general wear and tear for long-term preservation. - Perfectly Sized for All Your Vinyl Needs: Specially designed at 12-3/4" (opening) x 12-1/2" (tall), these outer sleeves provide the ideal fit for both single and double gatefold records—snug and secure without the excess height! Enjoy a flawless blend of protection and presentation for your entire vinyl collection. - Flush Cut with Convenient Lip: Designed with a flush cut and a subtle lip, these sleeves make inserting and removing records a breeze—offering ease of use without the hassle of a traditional flap! - Top-Opening Design for Maximum Protection: The top-opening design keeps your records securely enclosed while providing easy access, helping to shield your vinyl from dust, dirt, and environmental damage—perfect for preserving your collection! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000RA7IZS | | Best Sellers Rank | #318,286 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #83 in Media Storage Sleeves #199 in Media Storage #52,881 in Electronics Accessories & Supplies | | Brand | Square Deal Recordings & Supplies | | Brand Name | Square Deal Recordings & Supplies | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,912 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12"L x 4"W | | Item Weight | 3.1 pounds | | Manufacturer | Square Deal Recordings & Supplies | | Material | Polyethylene (PE), Vinyl | | Material Type | Polyethylene (PE), Vinyl | | Max Input Sheet Capacity | 100 | | Maximum Sheet Capacity | 100 | | Number of Pieces | 100 | | Paper Size | 12 x 12 inches | | Style | Classic | | UPC | 844568040623 | | Unit Count | 100 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Polyethylene (PE), Vinyl - **Brand:** Square Deal Recordings & Supplies - **Color:** Clear - **Style:** Classic - **Item Weight:** 3.1 Pounds ## Images ![The Authentic Original 12 Inch LP Record Outer Sleeve - 40 Years of Classic, ... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RiinD8E+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Number Of Items** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you buy records, buy these sleeves *by D***E on August 24, 2011* Any reviews lower than 5 stars can be ignored.

Overall, these are what you are looking for if you are a vinyl collector. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perspective from first-time vinyl owner *by J***N on May 14, 2013* For the most part, I love these sleeves. All of the ones I've used thus far fit my 'normal' LP covers and my gatefold LP covers with extra room. I'm easily able to pull my LPs out of these sleeves without having to struggle. Also, I can fit my records (with additional protective sleeves) behind the original LP cover IN THE SAME outer plastic sleeve! TONS of room. These things are heavy duty. They make pulling LPs out and putting them back into my collection MUCH easier. My ONLY gripe is that I wish they were taller. For my gatefold LPs that have large 180g records, there is just a sliver of bare-space that my gatefold cover sticks up out of the sleeve. This isn't major or anything, but it would be nice to have them just a bit taller. If I don't keep my records outside of their original cover and instead put them back into it, this isn't typically a problem. However, I want to keep the edges of my LP covers in mint condition for decades, so I keep the records themselves out and in the same outer sleeve, which obviously takes up more space. Overall, I'm very satisfied with these. If you want to protect your records for years to come, do not hesitate, BUY THESE, especially for their very affordable price! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/1288213-the-authentic-original-12-inch-lp-record-outer-sleeve-40](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/1288213-the-authentic-original-12-inch-lp-record-outer-sleeve-40) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
