Single Sleeve or Gatefold Record Jacket?
A single record sleeve offers a simple and efficient format for standard vinyl releases. A gatefold jacket opens into a larger printed spread, giving more space for artwork, photography, lyrics and storytelling.
The suitable structure depends on the number of records, artwork concept, release positioning, inserts, shipping method and packaging budget.
How We Develop Your Album Packaging
- Confirm the media format: Share the record or CD size, number of discs and required packaging components.
- Select the structure: Choose a sleeve, gatefold jacket, wallet, slipcase or collector box.
- Prepare the artwork: Album artwork, photography, lyrics and credits are positioned on the confirmed dieline.
- Review a sample: Structural or printed samples can be arranged to check fit, folding, artwork and finishes.
- Mass production: Printing, die cutting, folding, finishing and packing follow the approved specifications.
