The Fragile Nature of Vinyl
For independent record labels and vinyl distributors, shipping 12-inch LPs globally is a logistical challenge. The two most common damage reports are "seam splits" (where the record punches through the cover) and warping due to pressure.
Why Standard Bubble Mailers Fail
Traditional soft bubble mailers offer shock absorption but zero bend resistance. When stacked under heavy parcels during international transit, the records are easily crushed.
The Professional Solution: Rigid Corrugated Mailers
To guarantee pristine delivery, industry professionals use Heavy-Duty Corrugated Kraft Mailers.
Crush Resistance: Manufactured from 350gsm (28pt) E-flute corrugated cardboard, providing strong edge-crush protection.
Snug Fit Design: Designed exactly for 12.25" x 12.25" dimensions to prevent internal sliding (the main cause of seam splits).
Tamper-Evident Closure: High-tack peel-and-seal adhesives ensure the package cannot be opened seamlessly without using the red tear strip.
