WRAPPING A VINYL RECORD - MY WAY

By KBS 500V ( shop name: Colt Sigma Music)

I have been selling items on eBay since November 2001 &  one of my best selling items are vinyl records - mainly 45 RPM 7" singles - which I will show you the best way to wrap for shipping all over the U.K. & the world.

First you need some strong cardboard, some brown packing  tape & a pair of scissors & a pencil

mark around the record sleeve the exact same size as the record

cut out two pieces of card - one for each side of the record

OK, now place the two bits of card  on EACH side of the record

then get your brown paper & strong parcel tape ready

you will need to cut a nice sized piece of brown wrapping paper to go around the cardboard "sandwich"

fold half of the brown paper as shown above - stick the fold down onto the cardboard

then do the same with the other side of the paper - stick down with tape !

then fold the two ends as shown above...

then tape up a shown above - your record will be safe & sound in the mail !

now address your parcel & post with confidence!

You can use this method on 12" vinyl as well - you could put a sheet of bubble wrap under both sides of the vinyl as well for extra protection!
