Record outer sleeves?

Lockdown has me cleaning my collection on the trusty Velvet Vortex. I’ve eaten my way through a few packs of mofi inner sleeves, now was wondering about outer sleeves for top anal points.

Any cheapish recommendations? Just good enough to keep my Barbra Streisand collection free of dust.

I use these

The standard 12" sleeves are big enough to fit a gatefold LP cover. They do larger sleeves for 3xLP and larger. Decent quality, nice prices and good service. I put outer sleeves on my entire collection a couple of years ago using their products.

Had loads of these. Money off code for first time use, usually.

I’m after something that is a snug fit on a plain 12" single cover. If 12" is 305mm then I guess a maximum of 310mm, maybe even a smidge less.

Specifically for this

It needs a sleeve for the loose label. The one it came in was a snug fit but it was also shagged. I stole one from another record but it’s a bit big.

Anyway, any suggestions please?

I’ve been stocking up on stuff to take back to Straya.
The last batch I bought from Amacunts but they are very good. Can’t remember the brand but I’ll have a look later for you.

I get the Spincare ones off Amacunts but they do come up larger which is great for doubles and those strange sizes Nick Cave sometimes chooses. Suspect its going to be easier to pinch something off an existing record for your needs.

Like @flapland , mine are Spincare. Good value and decent quality.
I also bought others that were made for Box sets from Gazzsrecords. They are hooooj !
They also sent me twice the number that I ordered. Which is nice !

Probably the best out there. Glass clear (No frosty, cloudy opaque shit) with dual pockets cover protected and the record + inner in it’s own pocket

Would like more of these.

They take a little getting used to but the dust / jacket (Ring wear) / off gassing issues are dealt with.
