Record storage boxes are specialized containers designed to store and protect vinyl records, including 12-inch LPs and 7-inch singles. They come in various materials such as natural oak wood, reclaimed wood, MDF with melamine surface, and acid-free cardboard. These boxes often feature modular and stackable designs to maximize space and display options, and some come with lids for dust protection. Here are some types and features:
- Natural Oak Vinyl Record Storage Boxes: Made of solid oak with no particle board or metal joinery, designed to hold about 65 records. Durable and aesthetically pleasing, often oiled or waxed for wood protection.
- Reclaimed Wood Vinyl Record Boxes: Handmade from reclaimed lumber with different finish options, holding up to 100 records. Suitable for collectors wanting rustic, unique storage.
- Acid-Free Heavy Duty Cardboard Record Storage Boxes: Made of pH neutral corrugated board with reinforced walls for durability and protection against damage.
- Wooden Crates and Collapsible Boxes: Custom-made wooden boxes or plywood crates designed for 7-inch or 12-inch records, often including dividers and display frames for organization and visual appeal.
- Modular MDF Record Boxes: Systems like "Record Box" provide stackable, connectable boxes made of high-quality MDF with a melamine surface, offering flexible storage and easy assembly.
- Other options include plastic or vinyl cases designed for portability and protection, as well as vintage-style and handcrafted crates.
Most vinyl storage boxes are designed to protect records from dust, scratches, and warping, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits for collectors. If a specific type, size, or material is desired, more targeted options are available depending on the collector's needs and budget.
