MoFi Archival Ultra Clear Record Sleeves (Pack of 50)

4-Mil Polypropylene Outer Sleeves, 50 to a Pack

MoFi Archival Ultra Clear Outer Sleeves are sold 50 to a pack. They are 4-mil polypropylene, sized for standard 12-inch LP jackets, and they go on the outside of the sleeve — the jacket goes inside them, records and all.

A record jacket is the part of a collection that ages visibly. Ring wear, seam splits, shelf scuffs and the moisture that travels on fingertips all happen to the cardboard rather than the vinyl, and none of it is reversible once it has started.

Fit and Materials

What They Are Made Of

The sleeves are polypropylene rather than polyethylene, which is why MoFi calls them ultra clear: polypropylene is the more transparent of the two, so the artwork reads through the sleeve rather than sitting behind a haze.

At 4 mil they are substantially thicker than a budget sleeve. That thickness is what resists denting and scuffing on a packed shelf, and what stops the sleeve itself creasing every time a record is pulled out and pushed back.

They fit standard 12-inch LP jackets. Double albums in a gatefold or a box will need something deeper, so check the thickness of what you are sleeving before ordering for a whole collection.

Who Are These Sleeves Best For?

• Your jackets matter as much as the vinyl — 4-mil polypropylene is jacket protection, not record protection
• You are sleeving a collection rather than a record — 50 to a pack, and consistency across a shelf is the point
• You want the artwork visible — polypropylene is clearer than the polyethylene most sleeves use
• Your shelves are full — the 4-mil thickness is what resists the denting a tight shelf causes
• You are looking to protect the record itself — that is the inner sleeve's job, and those are a separate item in record cleaning accessories

How Do You Use Them?

Slide the jacket, record and all, into the sleeve. Most people leave the opening at the top so nothing slides out on the shelf; others prefer the side. Work through a shelf at a time rather than the whole collection at once — it is a longer job than it looks.

Pairs Well With

What most owners of outer sleeves shop next.

• Record cleaning accessories — inner sleeves, which do the job these do not
• Record brushes — a dry sweep before the record goes back in
• Record cleaning solutions — worth doing before a record is sleeved for years
• Record cleaning machines — the step that makes archiving a used collection worthwhile

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

They come 50 to a pack, one per album. Count the shelf before ordering — most people underestimate, and mixing sleeve types across a collection looks worse than not sleeving it.

Do they protect the record or the jacket?

The jacket. These go on the outside; the record's own protection is the inner sleeve, which is a different product.

Will they fit a gatefold or a box set?

They are sized for standard 12-inch jackets. A gatefold double or a box is thicker and needs a deeper sleeve, so measure before ordering for those.
