For the exceptions on your shelf: larger LP jackets that need more room than a standard 12″ sleeve provides. This larger Dual Pocket version keeps the jacket separate from the record in its inner sleeve.

Buy 12.75″ Outer Sleeves for Larger Jackets
Album jackets do not all have the same dimensions. With particularly generous packaging, a normal outer sleeve can feel too tight. The 12.75″ Dual Pocket is intended for those occasional exceptions. It does not serve a different record format: the disc remains a 12″ LP, while the jacket gets the additional room.
The familiar arrangement in a larger version
One pocket holds the jacket, and the second holds the record in its own inner sleeve. For listening, take the record from that separate pocket without removing the jacket each time. A resealable flap closes the jacket compartment. Clear, 4 mil CPP film keeps the design visible while providing the outer protective layer.
Compare dimensions before choosing the larger size
Nominal dimensions are 324 × 324 mm. The supplier specifies a size tolerance of ±2 mm and jackets up to approximately 6 mm thick. Height, width and thickness all affect the fit. Measure unusual jackets before ordering, allowing some space rather than relying on the final millimetre. The 12″ sleeve remains the starting point for ordinary jackets. A thick box needs a purpose-shaped box sleeve, rather than simply this larger LP sleeve.
Add what you need to your sleeve supply
A few unusually sized albums do not require you to replace every outer sleeve in your collection. This pack of 25 supplements your supply for larger jackets while retaining the familiar Dual Pocket arrangement. Choose an inner sleeve separately for the record itself; a larger outer sleeve does not replace it.
