I probably need 200 or so. I would like the label cut out. Need a slightly heavier paper than original. Any suggestions?

When my friend in the States sends me records I sometimes get him to include some of these

Hi,
I had a similar question earlier. I got some good advice here.

Bags Unlimited was nice to deal with.
Their selection

I chose these below because they are acid free and won't fox and because they had the centres cut out. They are quite nice but a little light weight. I will need to be careful with them when re-shelving.

Nauck's Disc-O-File sleeves are great. Very sturdy and durable. Very easy to re-shelve. They are not advertised as acid free, however. I believe I once read that the Library of Congress favoured them for their collection.
But I cannot find such endorsement any more. The conservation requirements of museums and libraries dictate acid free storage materials--perhaps this is why I can not find the endorsement anymore. Anyway, they lean to the more expensive side. I used to buy them when I was dealing with much smaller numbers of records.

I second the Nauck sleeves, they're great quality and they've got a huge variety of sizes. i use them for all my records from Little Wonder 5" discs to my larger Pathé discs. Always a great product and buying experience.

Yes, I use Nauck covers too, but only for a small minority of my most precious records.
