The Definitive Guide to Vinyl Record Sleeves: Protecting Your Phenomenal Record Collection

Written By Kris Cottrell

Flipping through stacks of vintage records is truly magical, but scratches and scuffs can threaten their longevity. As avid collectors, we recognize the vital importance of protecting this delicate media format. To achieve this we will explore record sleeve options as a protection approach, using business analysis techniques to recommend products that not only enhance your listening experience but also safeguard your collection. At FiNOM, we embrace a business analysis to help you make decisions that provide the most value.

Understanding Business Analysis Techniques

When assessing the best products for vinyl record sleeves, I relied on various business analysis techniques, including:

  • Benchmarking and Market Analysis: Comparing different products in the market based on several factors. Overall consensus on Reddit is the inner sleeves are similar quality, and was checked for any common issues with the outer sleeve candidates.

  • Decision Analysis: Weighing the pros and cons of purchasing options, we will use a decision matrix to do this.

Decision Matrix Criteria

To recommend the best inner and outer record sleeves, I developed a scoring model with categories based on:

  • Price per sleeve (High Weighting, 50%)

  • Customer Review Rating (Medium Weighting, 30%)

  • Amount of Reviewers (Low Weighting, 20%)

Let’s put this model to the test and see how some products “stack up”!
