Buy 12″ Rice Paper Inner Sleeves – 25 Pack
After carefully cleaning a record, you do not want to return it to a dirty old inner sleeve. These rice paper inner sleeves give it a fresh storage space. Their antistatic construction helps reduce static build-up, while smooth HDPE film makes insertion and removal easier. An inner sleeve still needs to be used alongside proper cleaning and careful handling of the playing surface. After wet cleaning, let the record dry completely before putting it into a sleeve.
Rice paper does not mean an all-paper sleeve
The construction combines HDPE plastic with a rice-paper layer. This 3 mil version is approximately 75 µm thick, offering more material thickness than the thinner 2 mil version. That describes the sleeve, rather than promising better sound. Mint lists this version under item code IS3_12HDPE; the shop supplies it as a pack of 25.
For the record, inside or behind the jacket
These sleeves are designed for 12″ records, including 180 g and 200 g pressings. Also check the space available in tight original jackets. With a Dual Pocket outer sleeve, you can store the record and its inner sleeve in the separate rear pocket, with the jacket in front. Keep a printed original inner sleeve containing lyrics or photographs as part of the album.
Work out the quantity you need
Count individual records rather than album titles. A double album needs two inner sleeves; a box containing four records needs four. One pack holds 25 individual records, while a collection of 26 to 50 records needs two packs. Outer sleeves for jackets and boxes are separate products, selected to suit the packaging.
Quick answers
Is this sleeve for the album jacket?
No. It protects the individual record. An outer sleeve is the product for protecting the jacket.
Can I keep the printed original inner sleeve?
Yes. Keep it with the album and use the new inner sleeve for the record. If the jacket is tight, the separate pocket of a Dual Pocket outer sleeve provides another storage arrangement.

Martin Kimmel –
ich benutze diese Innersleeves schon über 1 Jahr. sehr gute, dicke Qualität. Sehr empfehlenswertes Produkt und preislich deutlich günstiger
aber sicher nicht schlechter als die von MFSL, welche ich vorher benutzt habe.

These 3 Mil rice paper inner sleeves are the last protection you will ever need to buy for your records again. Records kept in these will outlast us all, and will ensure that your great grandchildren will be able to hear your precious vinyl collection, in the same quality you did when you purchased them. This store is 100% quality, both in music it provides, and protection for that music. Best of all, it’s all here in the same, trustworthy shop!
I will never buy any other inners than these ever again.

Benutze diese Inner Sleeves jetzt auch schon länger – und beabsichtige, dass auch weiter zu tun. Sind von der Funktion (und der Haptik) den MoFi deutlich überlegen, da viel formstabiler. Die Platte läßt sich dadurch einfacher entnehmen und wieder einschieben. Auch das Risiko, dass das Inner Sleeve Falten wirft und “verkrumpelt” ist deutlich geringer. Und das zu einem günstigeren Preis. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
