I can only really join the eulogy. The so-called Blake Sleeves are cheap, space-saving and they evaluate even moderately preserved cover due to their high transparency clearly on. For me, no other cases come into question than those that can be closed. When mending the old PE protective covers on the new Blake Sleeves, I was amazed what everything can accumulate in the open cases over the years.

According to my current experience, there is only one small flaw for me: The hulls could be a little bit wider, because certain LPs get bruised in the hull. In a few cases it has also happened that I had to dodge on a single LP on a shell that is actually suitable for double LPs. 2 mm more would probably already be enough.

Everything written in the reviews was confirmed. Product specification must be read via the published reviews (eg sealing strip). It will of course have to wait and see how the cover will withstand regular use. At least top for the moment.

Great quality, here are the LPs really good effect. Have flipped all LPs, because the old glarklar sleeves were too thin and too complicated to open. In addition very fast delivery and great service! Absolutely recommendable and a feast for collectors!

Heard alot about these so I decided to give them a try. VERY IMPRESSED.

The LP cases are absolutely recommendable.
The covers let every LP collection shine in the truest sense of the word!
The material is highly transparent and makes the covers much better than the usual PP covers that are otherwise available on the market and the "LP back" is clearly better to recognize and read on the shelf.
The covers can be resealed very well.
The size is optimal for single LPs.

I'm completely satisfied!

From the ordered Blake Sleeves I am thrilled. The record collection appears in a whole new splendor and I can warmly recommend it to everyone. So far I have used regular PE envelopes (the thick transparent ones). However, these have the big disadvantage that they protect the LP optimally, but the case turns yellow quickly and simply does not bring out the cover. After a test, I ordered another 800. So a lot of work is waiting for me. Work that I'm looking forward to ;-) Mandatory purchase for anyone who loves his record collection. Furthermore, I have to praise the service. Bilitfast delivery and stable packaging are top notch !!! Keep it up!

Samples were kindly sent out and then an oder placed, delivered very quickly. These sleeves are excellent quality.

Having used all three ‘Blake’ Sleeves available, these are now my preferred choice.

I particularly like the tight snug fit of the LP in standard ‘Blake’ sleeve (with flap). And the crystal clear finish really enhances the album cover.

Overall, highly recommended. But, perhaps to make them perfect, maybe the weight could be greater - perhaps doubling the thickness to make them a little more rigid would be an interesting option?

Fantastic product. Provide excellent protection, and visually your cover will also look very good. Top product.
The service of Packlinq is also very good: If something unexpected goes wrong with your order, as in my case, they immediately offer good solutions. Recommended.

Excellent service and product. Arrived very quickly and looks great on the LP's. Fits all single albums really well and most gatefold albums although not all.

Lovely sleeves! Amazing quality! Will be buying some more soon! Thanks

I was looking for something to preserve my jackets from dust, as by handling album covers in and out from the ordinary cloudy poly sleeves, the crud tends to scuff/rub the surface easier, especially with newer pressings. So I get these sleeves with an adhesive flap, and I am quite happy with them. The artwork shines and the flap protects the jackets pretty well. The strip Is well located. Dimension-wise, they can fit all single vinyl jackets and most of my gatefolds and double lps. Only some thicker doubles and triple lp sets needs larger sleeves. I'll buy some other packs in near future for my collection for sure.

I have now converted from normal PE cases on the Blake sleeves and I'm in love with my collection. The covers look a lot better, the cover backs are much easier to read.
I can only recommend to anyone.

Top quality crystal clear covers that are very suitable for both single and double Laserdisc covers.
A flap is extra useful to keep out dirt. Highly recommended.

Great product great shipping time top class

I knew the product was excellent since I was re-ordering. A slip of the mouse led me to order the wrong version, though. The supplier found another customer I could pass the 'wrong' goods to, and I used the full refund to order what I had originally required. superb customer service.

After years of really trying everything, bothering everyone about what is the best cover and roaming the internet, so as not to do the umpteenth mistake again, I came across the description of the Blake sleeve, honest is fair, it cannot be clearer.
The promise is more than fulfilled, it does what it has to do, protect my LP and still state what's inside.
Next time order the double album covers, then they are also neat.
With the Blake sleeve, my LPs can stay in view (the woman is tacking too).
In short, what you are looking for is what you get.

I had bought 300 of these before and to my surprise they did not fit many single LPs (not to mind doubles!). So, 2 years later, I buy 100 more and this time, they fit perfectly. I am miffed I did not buy more. Recommended, they are a real good "smug fit".

Blake sleeves are the finest cover covers for LPs - also not-so-top second-hand record covers will be restored. The price seems to vary quite a bit from week to week? This standard cover also fits many double LPs, except perhaps the recent re-releases, which often come in larger, more robust packaging. For the vintage music that I collect, they are almost always large enough (only a few trippers have to be in the larger BLPD).

The standard LP covers quickly get dingy and make the colors of the LP dull and matte. That is why I am very happy with the blake sleeves from bagsxl. The one with a sticky edge is by far the best: this keeps the LP tight in the cover. But even without an adhesive edge there is a good fit: the 12 inch is then properly enclosed on 3 sides with the cover. It is extra nice if you order 500, because then you will receive an extra discount!

Brilliant for single albums, but unlike the website states it did not fit any of my gatefold albums.

THese sleeves are suprisingly sturdy, I was shocked with the quality as theyre better than any japanese sleeves I've owned. Couldn't recommend any higher. The larger size may be too big for you. These sleeves are better for all single albums and any normal/medium sized gatefolds

Not even a month after ordering these to try them out I had to order more. These are just perfect and as you start to see your records in them you just can't get enough as the covers look as good as new. I thought maybe the resealable lid would eventually be a problem, but after using these for a while, opening and closing is not a problem at all. The major disadvantage of this product though is addiction! Now I want ALL my records in them and won't settle for anything less!

After doing some research online I decided to try the famous "Blake Sleeves". They're absolutely amazing and make the arkwork on the record really stand out. Considering the quality of this product price is excellent. Just bought a pack to try them out and will be ordering more very soon. Very fast delivery.

Want to hang a part of the LPs in a sort of exchange list. The covers offer protection and do not distort the image on the cover.

I have had many different types of sleeves in the past and these are the best of the bunch on all accounts. I will be sticking with these going forward. Fantastic product!

Couldn't find fault with anything sleeves fitted perfectly delivery quicker than I expected prices very reasonable would definitely use bagsxl again

After the many reports in Youtube etc. about the Blake Sleeves, I wanted to try it myself. Good that these are now also in Europe (thanks bag XL).
So far, I have used normal PE cases for my record collection that have basically served their purpose, but nothing more.

Blake sleeves are envelopes made of a very transparent plastic, which can also be sealed with the help of a tab and an adhesive strip. Thus, no dust can get into the case and thus not to the plate itself. The principle is known from comic book covers.

Advantages:
- BLP1 are quite cheap. You pay about 50% of what normal PE cases cost

- BLP1 are very clear. The album covers are very beautiful and colors are even enhanced. For me one of the most important aspects, because the cover for me is just as much art as the music itself.
The old PE films here were very milky and made the covers "lifeless".

- Normal 12 "LPs (also 180g presses) fit very well into the BLP1 cases, they sit without much leeway but are still easy to insert and remove.
It is also possible to put the cover and the LP (inside an inner sleeve) separately in the same BLP1 case. No problem at all.
NOTE: Double Albums do not fit in here. I would rather fall back on the BLPD cases.

- The adhesive strip is valuable and should withstand repeated opening and closing. In addition, there is also the risk that dust will get to the plate, or this may even fall out of the shell. Probably, this function will not suit everyone with the adhesive strip. I do not mind. A CD cover must also be opened. The extra protection is worth it to me.

- In general, the processing is very good, although not as stable as the PE cases, but still very good.

- With the BLP1 cases it is possible to read the back of the album cover very well. Thus, you can quickly find the right plate in its shelf, without first remove it. This was not the PE cases, because there was the weld in the way.

Disadvantage:

- As already mentioned, the BLP1 are not as strong as the standard PE cases. Thus, it may be that when not careful import of the plate in the shell, this tears at the side. This has not happened to me personally, but would be to cope. Alone, because you can buy twice as many BLP1 for the same price as normal PE cases.


Conclusion:
I am very excited about these cases. Price, workmanship and handling are just right. I love how my panels shine in new splendor and are even better protected against dust. From me a clear buy recommendation!

Note: If you do not like the tape, Blake Sleeves are also available without it.

After seeing a lot of reviews on Youtube and blogs about the Blake Sleeves, I had to try them myself. And I am excited.
So far, I used the standard PE protective covers. These also protect the plates very well. Denoch they have disadvantages. For one, they are open at the top, so dust can get in. On the other hand, the plates do not look nice in the milky shells. But they should!
These were the reasons why I chose Blake Sleeves.

Basically, the system of protective covers for comic books. A very clear plastic bag, which can be closed with the help of a tape above.

The processing of BLP1 is really good. The adhesive strip is valuable and should endure the many times opening and closing well.
In the protective cover fits a normal LP 12 ". It is also possible the cover and the LP in an Innersleeve outside the cover to put together in the BLP1.
The LP sits very well in it, hardly any margin. Nevertheless, the removal of the LP is possible without problems.
A double album with, for example, 2x180g vinyl discs does not fit into it. Here you should switch to the BLPD variant.
Other advantages of the BLP1 is quite simply the look. LPs look like new and the colors are really great. It's fun to look at the cover.
Furthermore, it is possible to read the back of the cover. Thus, one can find his desired band on the shelf very quickly. This was not possible with the PE sheaths because the weld was in the way.
Finally, the cheaper price of the BLP1 to call, which accounts for almost half of standard PE cases.

The only drawback in my opinion is that the shells do not have the strength of a PE sheath. Here it can happen that occasionally the sides of the covers travel, if one does not introduce a LP carefully enough. Personally, I do not care, because I can buy twice as many blake sleeves for the same money, which costs PE sleeves :-)

Conclusion:
Blake Sleeves are a great invention and give the domestic LP collection a whole new look.
I would recommend the purchase of the cases.

Well after searching all over the internet for sleeves to protect my record collection that will actually fit on my record shelves I came across these. Unlike others I haven't followed the Blake sleeve saga so I ordered a sample . Within a day I received an e mail resonse and 2 days later said sample arrived . I hurriedly opened the packaging and slipped one of my records into the sleeve, these are great I thought but will they fit onto my odd d
imensioned record shelving ...oh yes perfect . Not only do they fit but they are great value look awesome and enhance every record cover they go on . The dust seal is also a clever touch . So whether you have your records in a box a cupboard or odd sized shelving these are a must . They were delivered in strong packaging also, which protected the sleeves in transit . Buy with confidence just note that if you have been used to thick pvc sleeves these are somewhat thinner but in my opinion better

Crystal clear and fantastic quality!

These are excellent sleeves. Have been following the saga of 'Blake' sleeves on YouTube for years with Blake himself. Great they are available in Europe. 5 stars except the batch I received do not pass the Blake 'squeak' test and have that strange plastcy smell. Look it up. Decided to just go with it and smell seems to dissipate after a while. They look great and think they will be fine but just saying... Bought a batch of the gatefold size too and didn't seem to be as bad. Don't get me wrong they are great but there still seem to be some quality or production problems compared to the original Blake sleeves.

Love these sleeves....I have hundreds of records and I'm working on getting sleeves on all of them. So far I've ordered 300 and will be ordering more soon. They make your albums look fantastic. Always great delivery and service.

These are hands down the best vinyl sleeves on the market, crystal clear clarity and ease of use.
They can fit "fat" thick gatefold sleeves too, although with a bit of care.
Very quick delivery to the UK (via Yodel, be warned).
A fantastic product overall, I will surely buy again.

After trying different LP covers, the so-called Blake turned out to be the best (especially if you don't want PVC or other 'hard' LP covers). Certainly clear and strong enough for soft plastic.

Ordered monday, delivered wednesday in Perfect packaging.
I think I've found the ultimate solution to protect my records collection...
Highly recommended for serious records collectors...
It was my first order, but not the last...

These sleeves are a cut above the ones I have been using in my record shop, they really set the records off beautifully and I will definitely be buying again!

Good value. Look fantastic. Fit single LPs like a silk glove. Very rapid delivery to UK. I will buy more when this batch runs out.

Ordered Tuesday on delivered Friday. Great product great service.

After buying these from other sellers at double the price I decided to buy from BagsXL.

I wasn't disappointed. The sleeves arrived perfectly and well packaged. The speed at which they arrived was impressive and if I was running a business that would come in handy for my customers.

The sleeves are exactly what I needed and fit the bill perfectly. Thanks BagsXL.

I tried a lot of different sleeves before finding these "blake" sleeves. Those are absolutely perfect in every way. Great customer service, very fast delivery to France, sure i'm going to buy more and more from BagsXL. ^^

This product is the perfect replacement for the old-fashioned plastic covers that have been around my LPs for 40 years. Now completely dustproof and resealable. Recommended.

Excellent sleeves. Will definitely order some more.

After clearing the internet looking for reviews regarding LP covers I was convinced; I should try the Blake sleeves. My previous covers were the loose, pocket-like plastic covers with which you protect the LPs, but which do not look in your recordcase. You can barely read the titles from the edge of the cover. This doesn't really matter if you put them in a closed cupboard, but after my move I decided to show my modest collection in an open record box. So I scoured the net for the beautiful, custom-made, transparent covers that not only protect your record but also look nice and tight. The Blake sleeves met all my requirements and were sent from the Netherlands, which greatly reduced the transport costs; more than enough reason to give them a chance.

I am very happy that I did it. Believe it or not but your covers will actually look better because of the crystal clear sleeve that fits nicely smooth around your LPs! The standard blakes are custom made for the single LP covers, and for double LP covers you simply order Blake's BLPD double LP covers, which I effortlessly fitted around any non-standard size. Thick double albums, standard double albums, gatefolds, ... No problem at all.

The sticky side is neat on the sleeve itself, not on the flap, so if you treat your LPs normally and wear sled, the glue never ends up on your cover. All in all a famous recommendation!

Ordered in the UK Thursday morning delivered Saturday from the Netherlands. Impressive and better value than from UK sites.
Fits albums well and shows off the sleeve. Clear as a bell.

I was worried when seeing how thin these were, but so far the standard album covers have coped with everything I've tried them with, including triple albums. Everything looks better and I'm happily removing and throwing out the old pvc sleeves now.

Really good product - recommended.One question though,can anyone tell me how much space they will save ,lets say against one hundred lp's using traditional vinyl sleeve. How many extra LP's could I get in the same space ?

Very fast shipment!Great sleeves for your Vinyls.The covers just look amazingly clear compared with my old sleeves.Most of my Gatefold covers fit with these sleeves but not all.I will Order them again!

Those are the best sleeves you can get. I always order both standard and gatefold ones (you never know), because most American pressings coming in a single thick sleeve can't fit those ones ; however, most European pressings and some Japanese do ! Sometimes you can't even tell there's a sleeve on because of the clearness. The spines are very readable and the flap is sturdy. Highly recommended !

Even old, less beautiful LP covers will do this.
What the covers will look like in a few years' time I don't know yet, but the first impression is very good.

I have seen lots for people talking about these Blake Sleeves on youtube. I have wanted some for quite some time finally got the money to place an order, so glad I did first let me say BagsXlL gave great customer service super fast delivery.

Now on to the Blake Sleeves, WOW every thing that has been said about these sleeves is bang on crystal clear makes the album art work look amazing - makes me feel like a proper record collector now !!!. I will never go back to my old sleeves again, I am so impressed with these sleeves I am going to place an order for the 7" version ( with the flap of Course )...Thank you BagsXL for a great online shopping experience...

This is an excellent product. Old vinyl covers are given a new lease of life with these 'Blake' sleeves. The customer service was excellent too and the very fast delivery to the UK was an added bonus! Thank you!!

Fast delivered, these sleeves make your vinyl look astounding. Ordered with flap, so I don't need to pull out the cover or gatefold just if I want to check something. My feeling is that these sleeves increases the rating of the cover, if only to admire some of them.

Amazing fast delivery. Bags perfect for vinyl albums.

As soon as I saw these sleeves are available through BagsXL, I had no second thoughts; these are top quality sleeves for storing our precious records and have no problem at all with either the adhesive or the flap. All I need is the best storing environment for my records and especially for those I do not spin often. Keeping dust away is vital! Top choice indeed!!!

Gorgeous crystal clear sleeve by Blake, great quality, thin but robust...perfect to save space and to protect from dust your collection...flawless and very reccommended!

Just replaced all my old sleeves with these new "Blake" sleeves they are a lot thinner than the old ones but are well made and make all my sleeves look great! Couldn't be happier. Delivery was super quick. Will be ordering more.

Best sleeves I have tried. Makes the album covers look super clear. Very happy with this product.

In the meantime I ordered my second load of covers and I am very satisfied with it.
The covers are of excellent quality and do not 'cloud' the LP. On the contrary; an LP in this cover looks 9 out of 10 times even better.

Please note that these covers are primarily intended for single albums. But I also managed to get some gatefolds in it myself.
They also fit perfectly around the LP without having excess plastic on the edges. However, this also has a small disadvantage; namely that some albums will not fit when a cover is just a bit too big.

Generally I would recommend the BLPD Double LP Covers for gatefolds and other duplicators. These are just slightly larger and also fit around three-doubles.

In short: Top Product!

Very nice sleeves but not quite "crystal clear" as they claim.
