The best and cheapest way to send a record. I'm using this myself for over 20 years. The cross direction of the multi-layered corrugated board makes it stiff. What I do differently is to make the outer layer bigger than the inside. Thus creating a buffer at the corners.
@@sirpattrick14 I mostly send LP's. What I do is to bend the corrugated board very tightly around the edges of the record and tape the first layer very tightly in all directions. The record will nog bounce back and forth. And when sending a sealed record I put a small piece of corrugated board in the middle of the record, and tape it tightly Due to the pressure of the small piece of board the record will not slide in the sleeve, thus avoiding a seam split.
One of life's coincidences, heh? The album is "The Smiths" and the paper you use to protect the table has a headline "Smiths so proud to win another silver" lol
Thank you. I wished I'd found this video before I mailed 10 LP's. I doubled bubble wrapped then placed in between two 15" cardboard pieces then taped together. Your way is much neater and I like free/cheap ideas :)
5 people paid money for cardboard. LOL. Great video! Getting ready to ship a bunch of self released 7" records and this video will save me quite a bit of cash. Thanks!
I find many sleeves are subtly different sizes - discobags, LP cover etc. easier to use the sleeve itself as the template. If you're doing a large multiple orders you really need to have the set together sat on the board to mark off the height anyway. I use a spirit level edge to set the crease rather that scissors. ;)
I've been making them for about 25 years not and had much trouble with different sizes, I can make up 200 of these and forget about making up boxes till I get the odd one which is more then 5 items of a odd size.
Different strokes I guess. I like to make mine bespoke per order. Probably been at it nigh-on ten years myself. similar idea with CDs too. I always delete the overlap on my loops of board too.. ;)
Great clip, mate. I use this system to mail out many promo records every week. I think the dimension for the single in centimeter should be 19cm , not 9cm?
Awesome! Thanks Vinylnuts!!! You just saved me A LOT of $
very nice. thank you very much for sharing this info.
This is great! I usually recycle record mailers that were sent to me but this will be my go-to when no boxes are available.
Now this is the type of content I signed up for on youtube.

How do you get the inner part to not move, wouldn’t it bounce back and forth?

The local appliances store has large sheets of cardboard from dryers, washers, refrigerators, etc. Ask nicely and don't leave a mess behind!

Shit, I myself am a Smiths fan and the single this guy was holding is one of my most favorite songs from this band
Great mailers. Nice and simple and super effective. You just saved me a heap of work and money. Thank you.

This method should be enough been using it for 30 years
Genius
That's a brilliant idea 👍 ive got some corrugated roll paper would that work for posting vinyl as well?
I don't know if it will, it would be needed to be stiffened.
100 likes!!!! You just saved me a TON of money!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Not just a brilliant idea
A DAM BRILLIANT IDEA

Wish I could give this more than one thumbs up. Great video!
Very useful! Thank you! I don't know what a crisp box is but I think I can find scrap corrugated cardboard

You are so welcome!
@@vinylnutter Have a great 2022
good quick packaging
thanks Sleeves and cardboard are so expensive and I have thousands of records for sale
thanks for the tut , but on your singles template says 9cm or 7 and a half inches, that's 19 cm, not 9... anyway thanks
do you think bubble wrap would still be necessary to protect a cd jewel case, or should this method be enough?
well done, mate!!
thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for your superb video!
Helpful video, thank you.

Don't see where you got the scoring dimensions from or where you first measured them
