100 Combo Pack (Inner & Outer)

Long story short: This combination package is a good value for your money, just buy it and keep your records happy. I’d rate the inner sleeves 5/5. The outer sleeves are almost perfect but a tad too short. They work if you’re okay with rotating the sleeves 90 degrees counter-clockwise before inserting your LP cover (see pictures). The inner sleeves are just right for most situations and albums. My suspicion is that all the inner sleeves with the "up arrows" on them are made by the same manufacturer but different companies smack their logo on. So choose whoever gives you the best deal. The outer sleeves are going to be as polarizing as cilantro so please consider the following: I prefer the plastic outer sleeve to slightly hang over the cover's slit/opening whereas these are not quite long enough to protect most covers- at best it’s exactly flush. HOWEVER. If you slip your album cover in vertically, they work. The annotated picture of The Clash album best demonstrates what I’m talking about. A bit disappointing but it does the job. ——————Detailed long review————— Outer cover protector overall is 4/5 Clarity: 4.5/5 I guess they have a slight milkiness tint when they are empty and you’re looking at both layers together. But it’s not noticeable once on your record. Texture: 5/5 These are just sturdy enough and super soft. I had previously purchased some super clear sleeves that were like cellophane crackly plastic. But these have a nice soft feel to them. This texture > clarity concerns IMO. Size: 5/5 or 2/5 As previously mentioned, the length is an issue as these outer sleeves are just a little too short for slipping over your record horizontally. It's a matter of preference: if you want the sleeve aligned with the record horizontally these are insufficient and have no overhang. If you don’t mind slipping your cover in vertically and having to pull it out of the plastic outer sleeve every time in order to get to the record, these are exactly perfect. At first I was disappointed with the length until I realized I could put my LPs in vertically. It’s a minor inconvenience to have to pull them out of the sleeve when I want to play them. Inner sleeve: 5/5 Some reviews mention the rice paper is “too short“ but that seems like a mute point to me because the rice paper is sandwiched inside plastic anyway. The layers go like this: 1. Plastic top Record sandwich 2. Plastic 3. Rice paper 4. Plastic So the rice paper is on the backside but encased in plastic itself. The next logical question is whether the rice paper is necessary with the inner plastic sleeve? The only thing that truly matters is that your records are encased in a plastic inner sleeve. Many reviews I read seem to argue about three components of an inner sleeve: 1) Is it sturdy enough to easily slide in and out easily 2) Does it cover the record without overhanging the cover 3) Is it thin enough to not be too bulky This inner sleeve seems to balance all three priorities. It seems that you can side this inner sleeve at any 90 degree rotation into most covers without overhang. You can put your record away with the slit facing up so that once it’s inside the cover your record is completely protected from dust. Alternatively, one can slide these inner sleeves in parallel so that the inner sleeve slit is aligned with the cover’s slit. Personally, I put the inner sleeve parallel inside the record cover. That way once I stick the inner sleeve into the cover, it stays there and I let gravity help me gently slide the record out without having to mess with the inner sleeve ever again Cheers

As a vinyl enthusiast and someone who cherishes the memories of family members who have passed, the 100 LP Sleeves Combo Pack has been an invaluable addition to my collection. This pack includes 50 3 mil outer sleeves and 50 master inner sleeves, designed to protect and preserve 33 RPM 12" vinyl records. What stands out most about these sleeves is their ability to safeguard the cherished vinyl records that hold so many memories. These records belonged to my family members who are no longer with us, and each album carries a piece of their personality and the times we shared together. The outer sleeves provide a protective barrier against dust, scratches, and wear, ensuring that the album covers remain pristine and vibrant over the years. Inside, the master inner sleeves offer additional protection for the vinyl itself. They prevent static buildup and minimize the risk of scratches and scuffs, preserving the quality of the music recorded on these cherished discs. Knowing that these sleeves are not only protecting the physical condition of the records but also safeguarding the sentimental value they hold is incredibly reassuring. The quality of the sleeves is commendable. The outer sleeves are made from durable 3 mil polyethylene, while the master inner sleeves are crafted from archival-quality materials that meet the highest preservation standards. This ensures that the sleeves do not degrade over time and continue to offer reliable protection. As someone who values both the nostalgia and historical significance of vinyl records, these sleeves have become an essential part of my archiving process. They allow me to maintain and pass down a tangible piece of family history, ensuring that future generations can experience the same joy and connection to the past through music. Overall, the 100 LP Sleeves Combo Pack is not just a practical investment for vinyl collectors; it's a heartfelt commitment to preserving the legacy and memories of loved ones through the timeless medium of music.

I think these were a perfect choice for what I needed upon inheriting a couple crates of LPs, most of which weren't protected at all. The inner sleeves fit your 33s AND the original inner sleeve if you like, and slide perfectly into all but the cheapest, snuggest original cardboard. Original inner record sleeves can go back inside the record housing, or chill in the new inner sleeves here with your record. Many collectors, for aesthetics, or access, or to avoid ring wear on the original packaging, display the record in these masters-quality inners behind the original cardboard, in the 3mil-thick, non-PVC outer sleeves, protecting it all. One still must be mindful to store upright and loosely. The polyethylene/rice paper inner protects against friction, static, & further wear & tear on the original cardboard sleeves and keep the gradual wear of fingers flipping through records at zero - whether you top load or side load your records into these. They're also kinder to picture discs and colored vinyl than PVC plastic. They are as good as what record stores use. These combo packs immediately impressed me and when I got near the end of the first 50/50 pack, I returned and bought a second. Besides being a combo pack of inner & outer protective sleeves to get going protecting your records, they're also a great combo of quality and affordability that compromises neither.
