👉 STOP Leaving Shrink Wrap On Records (It RUINS Your Vinyl!)
If you’re leaving shrink wrap on your records after opening them… you might be slowly destroying your vinyl collection. In this video, I break down why keeping shrink wrap on album covers can cause bent corners, ring wear, and that cloudy/dingy look over time. Most collectors don’t realize that shrink wrap continues to tighten, putting pressure on your record jackets and damaging them permanently. I’ll show real examples of how vinyl covers get ruined, explain the science behind shrinking plastic, and share the ONLY situation where I keep shrink wrap on records (and why). Most importantly, I’ll walk you through exactly what to do after removing shrink wrap so your records stay in mint condition for years. If you care about preserving your vinyl collection, this is something you need to know. ⸻ 📀 Topics Covered: • Why shrink wrap damages vinyl record covers • How ring wear and bent corners happen • When (and when NOT) to keep shrink wrap • Best way to store records after opening • How to protect vinyl sleeves long-term Click on the link below to buy all the best record sleeves and supplies at Far West Record Supply with over 50 Years in business. https://farwestrecordsupply.com/ ⸻ 🔔 Subscribe for more vinyl collecting tips, record care guides, and gear reviews.
