Protective Packaging Built for Vinyl Records
Shipping vinyl records demands packaging that does more than look good. A single warped or cracked disc means a lost sale and a frustrated customer. These mailers are engineered with rigid corrugated walls and snug interior fits that keep 12-inch and 7-inch records secure during transit. Whether you run an independent label, a subscription service, or a resale shop, every package that arrives intact builds trust with your audience.
Beyond protection, your mailer is the first physical touchpoint a buyer has with your brand. Full-color CMYK printing across the entire surface turns a shipping container into a canvas for album art, logos, tour dates, or collector edition details. This is packaging that fans keep, photograph, and share.
Customization That Matches Your Sound
Every release has its own identity, and your packaging should reflect that. Choose from matte lamination for a soft, understated finish or spot UV to make specific design elements pop under light. Foil stamping in gold, silver, or holographic adds a premium feel that works especially well for limited pressings and special editions.
Sizing options accommodate standard 7-inch singles, 12-inch LPs, gatefold sleeves, and multi-disc box sets. You can adjust wall thickness based on how many records ship per mailer. Interior padding options include corrugated inserts and friction-fit dividers that eliminate movement without adding unnecessary bulk.

Sustainable Materials That Ship Safely
The rigid structure comes from high-density corrugated board, typically E-flute or B-flute depending on the protection level you need. E-flute keeps the profile slim for single records while B-flute handles heavier shipments and stacking pressure. Both grades are made from recycled fiber and are fully curbside recyclable.
Printed with soy-based inks and finished with water-based coatings, these mailers meet the expectations of environmentally conscious buyers without sacrificing print quality or structural integrity. No plastic inserts, no styrofoam fillers. Just paper-based materials that do the job and break down cleanly.
Who Uses These Mailers
Independent record labels ship new releases and pre-orders directly to fans worldwide. Vinyl subscription services like monthly crate clubs need consistent, branded packaging that survives repeated postal handling. Record stores selling online use them for safe delivery of rare finds and used inventory. Artists running Bandcamp or Shopify stores package limited runs with custom art that turns the mailer into part of the release itself.
DJs, collectors, and estate sellers also benefit from sturdy, professional-looking mailers when moving valuable pressings. Even record pressing plants use branded versions as part of their fulfillment pipeline for label clients.
