What is the proper way to store records?

Should vinyl records be stored flat or upright?

Records shouldn't be stored horizontally, or flat. As you will see, archival record boxes are designed for the records to be stood and stored vertically. Storing vinyl records flat can place too much pressure on the records lower in the stack causing damage over time.

How do you store records so they don't warp?

Prevent Vinyl Warping by Storing Your Records Correctly It's best to store them upright in their original provided sleeves and jackets, with the protective poly cover over them. If you don't have the space for upright storage racks, it's okay to store them flat, but don't stack too many.

Where should you keep all of your records?

The easiest way to keep track of your family papers and business records is to set up a filing system. A place to store file folders is more important than a fancy desk. A metal filing cabinet, an under-the-bed storage chest or cardboard box, or an accordion folder will do the job as well as a desk drawer.

Do you keep vinyls in the paper?

Unlike grocery bags, paper is out and plastic is in. Commercial vinyl records may be stored in their original sleeve, but they should also be placed in a static-free polyethylene liner to avoid print-through from the original sleeve.
