Best value for money
review by Roland on 3/11/2018
I ordered three x100 packs of these, expecting that they would be good, and they did not disappoint. Many of my records were stored in great thick HDPE sleeves that I've bought a local record store (bought over the years in small batches), but I replaced all of them with these because they're just better on all fronts than anything else.
The material is excellent, the OPP plastic material seems ultra transparent, so it pretty much looks like you're looking at the album cover without any plastic around it. Even though it's very thin, it also seems to be quite resistant to crumbling/folding so far.
Being surprisingly sturdy for such thin materials, I must say the sizing for this product is completely on point. I can't speak for gate-folds (wish these guys made those of this material as well), but I was able to fit all my (20-30) double & triple albums in these without any issue (some of them a bit snug but otherwise not deforming the cover cardboard).
Single albums, incl. those with smaller-sized album covers fit great as well, and they do not fit flabby as some other thin-material sleeves tend to. This means it's very easy to take and put albums with these sleeves back into your densely populated record cabinet.
And the price, well… I see these types of sleeves sold for over thrice the price elsewhere, so you're practically getting them for free here.
