I had a load of used record mailers in my garage but they got a bit damp and I binned them.
Selling a few records, so I want to buy a few of them, up to 50. Can anyone recommend a particular brand or design?

If youāre trying to limit cost, recycle the mailers you receive your new records in. Just the cost of some brown parcel tape then

Yeah, but donāt store the mailers in a damp garage. Hence my post!
Plus, I donāt have a regular supply as I am not buying much at the moment.

I bought my last lot about 6 months ago and struggled to find anyone who had any stock. I had to buy some pretty crappy but expensive ones.

I rarely get anything posted, I order and pick up from my local store.
But the last one I ordered from Amazon turned up in a paper bag 
I have had stuff sent to me in these and they seem to survive.
Not the best but maybe the cheapest!

These arenāt great.
Iāve a few I can send you to tide you over but not as many as 50 
This type offer more protection especially to corners.

Never had any problems. Couple of card stiffeners in there and they are pretty robust. Use them all the time for discogs/eBay without a problem.Why arenāt you keen?
See above. They will also take multiple records. I have used the envelope type but got complaints of damage to sleeve corners.
These look OK
These are the ones I had to buy, they arenāt great.
It will depend on the value of the records being sent. If they are Ā£10 records the envelope type mailers with a couple of stiffeners would be reasonable - If the records have a higher value or are being sold as NM etc Iād go for a mailer with crumple zones - All British made mailers pale in comparison to USā¦ No matter how sellers bang on about B flute and āstrongestā etc etc - The card is just not as good.
These Amazon type ones do a fair job with a couple of stiffeners and are easy seal
Cardboard is getting pricey these days

Thread necro / hijack.
I want something like this, but I really only need one. Any ideas?
Or an alternative that would protect a single LP + cover while in transit. Itās not actually being mailed.
Buy a record mail order and re-use the mailer

Man maths. I like it!
Although Iām being a slow - it has only just dawned on me that I probably donāt need an actual āproductā, I can probably get away with just a couple pieces of stout card.
Iāve never had to buy a mailer down to buying too many records in the first place 
. Must have about 20 stashed away without counting the enormous things that Acoustic Sounds ship their records in.
In the event I asked the local record shop.
They were happy to let me have a few new ones, or as many used (that were heading for the recycling) as I could carry.
Used is fine.
