What is the best box for archiving Vinyl Records?

For all those avid vinyl record collectors out there, sometimes you get to a point where you need to archive some of your collection. Then you can make more space to store your current favourite records safely without overstacking.

Although there may be a temptation to spend more on plastic or sealed record containers, these can actually create a damaging micro-climate for your archived vinyls. Cardboard boxes offer the perfect solution as they allow some air circulation while being sturdy enough to protect your vinyl records!

We recommend our 8x8x8" boxes for archiving vinyl records as it will prevent them from moving around and keep them safe.

Extra tips;

  • Make sure there is enough room to still be able to flip through your records to make it easier when you come back to them.
  • Avoid storing your boxes in areas with extreme temperatures or places likely to encounter water damage.
