Protect Your Valuable 45 rpm Collection with Our Clear Polyethylene Outer Sleeves
Maintain Your 45 Collection in Pristine Condition
Protect your 45 collection from unnecessary wear during storage. Our archival quality and acid-free outer sleeves create a protective barrier between your singles. This will minimize unnecessary wear to the labels, while protecting the record from exterior damage.
Protect The Beauty of Your 45 Picture Sleeves
Our 45rpm Outer Sleeves are 3 mil thick to protect your valuable picture sleeves. Help safeguard them against scuffing, water damage and punctures.
Preserve your 45 Company Sleeves
Everyone knows that company sleeves add worth to your singles collection. To keep them from deterioration over time, store them in our outer sleeves.
Extend the Longevity of Your Singles Collection Through Proper Storage
Company Sleeve Storage
When you store the 45 inside its company sleeve, you make it susceptible to tearing along the three closed edges, also known as seam splits.
Proper Storage of 45s With Company Sleeves
The ideal way to store your 45s with company sleeves is to place the 45 and a plain white sleeve, and then place the company sleeve alongside it inside our protective outer sleeves.
Picture Sleeves
Picture sleeves are also susceptible to seam splits, which can lower the condition grading of your collection. Additionally, keeping the record inside the picture sleeve will also cause ring-wear over time.
Optimal Storage of 45s with Picture Sleeves
Ideally the picture sleeve should be stored alone inside one of our clear polyethylene bags and the 45 in another. Minimizing seam-splits and ring-wear, keeping your collection pristine.

As a music collector since I was a kid—I’ve collected a lot of albums over the years. Since I have some older vinyl some of the sleeves were missing and I had to get something to protect them. I even replaced sleeves that were ripped. I’m glad I found these as they worked out great for my vinyl. At the time of purchase—I believe they were worth the price.

These are the 7" outers I use. Buy with confidence these are great. Do not go less than 3mm thickness.

The covers were high quality and did a good job, but were very “slippery”. The records slide out too easily. If I buy again I'll go with paper.

These are polyethylene so are slightly cloudy. I have read some comments here decrying the fact that they are cloudy. This is true but it is the nature of polyethylene. The clear ones are made of polypropylene. They look better but they sweat. Over time, when in contact with laminated sleeves (such as ep picture sleeves) they can undergo a process called "hydrolysis" which causes the outer sleeve to fuse with the laminate on picture sleeves. A bad thing! For this reason they are only suitable for use on paper sleeves such as found on old 45s. For that they are great but not picture sleeves. Polyethylene are preferable for picture sleeves as they are a different material. These sleeves are slightly oversized and could be slightly smaller. Otherwise they are fine.

I came back for more. These things are tough and sized just right to handle anything. I am a music producer who has begun a large collection of 7" Jazz/Soul for lo-fi sampling. I have so many now that I had to buy a large case for them. I have some double sets that fit fine. I also have some sleeve-less bare ones that I feel safe not adding new paper sleeves to once they are in these. 3 mil thickness is just right! Everything fits right into the case w/o being too large and bending the edges.These guys know what they are doing. How they found that "magic" size that is perfect, I don't know, but I (and my progeny whom these will be passed down to) will always appreciate. Made in USA? Unbelievable, at this super reasonable price!

I specifically bought these to cover my singles from The Beatles Single Collection. There were several in that set that were oversized. The new "Now And Then" single was also oversized when compared to other singles I have. These covers were the right size, and they look great.

Took a chance on these after the prices for the similar Sound Sleeves that I've used for decades have crept up to obnoxious prices at the retail level. I was NOT disappointed, in fact I was highly impressed. Proper thickness and sturdiness that I was hoping for. Also just enough wiggle room and height to get those larger sleeves, gatefolds, posters, and etc., in there without being too snug or too loose for standard issue 45/ 7" sleeves and vinyl. Will definitely buy again.
