(100) 12" Record Outer Sleeves - Outer Resealable Sleeves - Extreme HD Poly 3 Mil 12 3/4" x 12 1/2" | Record Rescue

The sleeves are nice. But the sticky crap to seal the bag is to high up. Problem one….some of them are so high that the back of the sleeve will seal instead of the actual flap. Problem two….if you do get one that seals correctly….the flap is so large that about 3/4 if the flap is now flappy. They need to be lower on the outer sleeve.

The media could not be loaded.  These aren't as thick as others obviously, but I like the clarity for the album art and for reading the spine in my storage.The sticky part can be a pain at times though

ProsThese sleeves look really nice. I've had other 3 mil sleeves that are not as clear. The dimensions are appropriate and what I would expect. The fold-over flap is what I was looking for and helps seal the album. Probably best used for albums that you don't plan to listen to. I am using them for wall hanging of some collector albums.ConsThe real aggravation with these is that they are marketed as "resealable" sleeves. I started with 4 albums and each album had the same issue. The adhesive strip is too high on the back. This causes the sleeve to not seal correctly, or in my case, not at all. The adhesive works.. though its not too tacky, which is ok.. its probably enough, but the placement is terrible and when you folder over the flap it doesn't line up right and you end up folding over a portion of the back side of the sleeve onto the adhesive strip instead of the flap itself. I had to use tape to seal the flap. It works.. and I am ok with that approach... but I am a little aggravated that this is what I bought. The real aggravation is that anyone that tried using these would immediately see the problem. So I feel a little deceived by the seller.OverallI would not recommend these unless you are completely satisfied with taping the flap down on the back. They do look really nice, even after they are taped closed. I just feel a little cheated by the seller... but then again... I had a hard time finding sleeves with the folder-over flap, so reluctantly, I will keep these. Just not as nice as I had hoped.

These are not 3 mil sleeves as indicated on the packaging and on the listing of this product here on Amazon. I bought this set plus a competing set of sleeves from another manufacturer that were 2 mil to compare. Both sets of sleeves are 2 mil.If you are looking for 3 mil sleeves, these are not them.

I'll include pictures at a later time but my brothers and I had an extensive record collecting phase in our teens is the late 70's to 80's. Most were played once to record to tape then re-sealed. Of the 635 albums that I own most are in their original shrink wrap with label advertising stickers and price attached!! For archival purposes its best to remove the shrink wrap but I can't bear to do so if the record came with some special ad copy. Typically I will remove the record from its inner sleeve (discard it if plain/keep it if it contains artwork or lyrics etc) and replace it with (Mobile Fidelity) MOFI archival quality rice paper inner sleeve.However as an OUTER sleeve these are the best as well as being the most cost effective. Why? Firstly the MOFI outer sleeves do not seal. They work as described and are slightly thicker but I like the idea of sealing out potential insects and dust offered by self sealing sleeves. Secondly they have wisely placed the adhesive strip on the sleeve and not on the flap so there is no chance of getting the vinyl surface of the record accidentally stuck to the sleeve when removing or replacing. Thirdly the material is clear, glossy and durable and holds single or double gatefold albums with ease. Not too big not too tight. Of all the one's I have tried these are my favorite by a long country mile!

The sleeves are durable and roomy for 12 inch vinyl records. Highly recommended

Great

These are great value. For my order the adhesive strip is not on the flap but is on the sleeve itself. Perfect. I do question the thickness as I have other sleeves that are non resealable that are 3 mil polypropylene and feel much thicker. But again these are solid and I will order again if needed.

If you fit the record in snuggly and try to seal them they don't seal well. I got a bunch of them where the plastic cracked.
