Seam Split Prevention

Prevent Seam Splits During Shipping – A Simple, Free Solution

Seam splits are a common concern when shipping vinyl records, along with bent or dented corners. These are among the most frequent types of damage that can occur during transit.

The most effective way to prevent seam splits is to remove the vinyl from the jacket before shipping. That’s why we offer this as a free service: the LP is placed behind the jacket, inside a protective plastic sleeve. This simple step greatly reduces pressure on the seams during transport.

Please note: We only open the jacket slightly to remove the vinyl — the shrink wrap, hype sticker, and any numbered sticker remain fully intact on the outer sleeve.
This way, you keep the collectible value of the record while minimizing the risk of damage.

If you're concerned about potential damage, we strongly recommend selecting this option at checkout.
Your records will thank you!
