i think 12 3/4 cant remeber correctlly

but you want them to fit snug over the cover sometimes you may have to strecth the plastic for it to fit ....mostly on gatefolds the plastics they sell at rasputins is the perfect size they fit right over cover.
the reason for that is it keeps the cover more intact keeps it from rippinon the edges ,keeps the corners nice and tight. makes it look better and restored.you cant be the look of a restored album looks great love when i get a beat up cover and put it in plastic man it almost looks like a million bucks.

now the loose ones they dont do this they wont give it that restored look but still good to keep them in plastic


PS remeber to flip the sleeve so the record dont fall out the next time you use it , that helps with the dust and the record from gettin scratch as well.

if i fiind a measuring tape i'll measure one out and let you know the size

Yo ede I just want to confirm this cause I was always told you dont want them to snug because the ninyl expands and contracts due to temperature and it can cause warping.

I dont remember where I heard/ read this. But you know more about this ish than me

this is somewhat true but this plastic fittin snug over the civer doesnt really effect the vinyl cause the vinyl is not pressed like if it was sealed in the factory seal plastic .
these plastic still give the vinyl room to breath. and if you notice it dont smash the vinyl. you can still take out the inside sleev smoothly.
