This is especially true if you happen to have plenty of rare albums in your record collection \u2013 priceless records that stretch back decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will show you the best way to pack vinyl records for moving \u2013 from the packing supplies you\u2019ll need to get the job done to the actual packing steps that will ensure your valuable LP record collection reaches the new home perfectly intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What_to_know_before_moving_vinyl_records\">What to know before moving vinyl records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start packing up your record collection, there are several things you need to know and a few steps you\u2019ll have to take to ensure a smooth and safe packing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, here\u2019s what you should know before packing and moving your vinyl records when moving to a new home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vinyl records are extremely heat-sensitive. What this means for you is that if you\u2019re moving in the summer (most likely since around 70% of all moves take place during the May-September high-season moving period), you have to be very careful how you pack and how you transport your record albums. The temperature inside a moving van can become too hot for your cherished record collection, so you\u2019d be better off moving your records in your air-conditioned car, at least in most cases.<\/li><li>Vinyl records are super delicate, meaning that if you make the mistake of stacking them on top of each other inside a cardboard box, they might get damaged irreparably. Bear in mind that you should never put too much pressure on the LP records for fear of rendering them completely useless due to possible warping or cracking incidents.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/what-to-know-before-moving\/\">What to Know Before Moving: 10 Things You Just Have to Know<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What_to_do_before_packing_vinyl_records\">What to do before packing vinyl records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These preparation steps will help you get ready for the packing process in the best possible way and will speed up the arduous task of packing up all your things. After all, you\u2019ll have many more items to pack than your valuable collection of vinyl records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, your main focus should be to make sure your vinyl records arrive safe and sound in the destination place without any damage whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Organize_your_vinyl_collection\">Step 1. Organize your vinyl collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/record-collection.jpg\" alt=\"How to transport vinyl records\" class=\"wp-image-36549 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/record-collection.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/record-collection-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Make sure you organize and catalog your vinyl records before you pack them up for moving.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the very first steps you need to take before moving your record collection is to catalog all the vinyl LPs you own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether you\u2019re moving a large collection of vinyl records or a small one, it\u2019s always best to document them first so that you can keep track of each vinyl piece in your collection until you reach the new destination safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, cataloging your record collection prior to the move will make the unpacking task so much easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to organize the LPs by artist or genre. Or maybe you can think of a different way to catalog your entire collection. There are mobile apps that will help you catalog your vinyls ways faster: for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/musicbuddy-music-library-manager\/id1039388028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MusicBuddy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/getstarted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Prepare_your_records_for_packing\">Step 2. Prepare your records for packing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step to prepare your records for packing is to remove each record from its jacket (the album cover is made from cardboard). This step may come as a surprise to you but there\u2019s a valid reason why you should do this: a vinyl record can and will move inside the jacket during the move and that movement alone, although it\u2019s almost negligible, can end up damaging both the cardboard cover and the LP itself. But how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cardboard jacket may get the disk\u2019s ring imprinted on it from the undesired shifts while the LP could cut through the cardboard sleeve\u2019s corners. A vinyl record could get scratched or scuffed from its constant rubbing against the cardboard jacket. In some instances, a record might even break or crack due to the slight yet frequent movements inside its original protective sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here\u2019s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>take <\/strong>each vinyl record out of its cardboard sleeve (jacket);<\/li><li><strong>place <\/strong>the disk in a poly inner sleeve to protect it from dust, moisture, scuffing, and static build-up;<\/li><li><strong>place <\/strong>the cardboard album cover in a plastic outer sleeve \u2013 ideally made from high-density polypropylene \u2013 that will keep it safe from possible moisture, dust, and dirt.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, both the vinyl record and its original album cover will stay protected inside a box (see below) during the entire house move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/packing-timeline\/\">Packing Timeline: What to Pack When for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Prepare_the_cardboard_boxes\">Step 3. Prepare the cardboard boxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important steps when packing vinyl records for moving is to secure packing boxes of the right size. Why is this vital for the success of transporting your record collection to the new place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyls.jpg\" alt=\"Moving with vinyl records\" class=\"wp-image-36551 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyls.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyls-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Make sure you pack your vinyl records in sturdy cardboard boxes of the right size and NOT in dubious oversized containers of unknown origin.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use boxes that are way larger than the LPs themselves, then the records will most likely be shifting inside them and are likely to get damaged because of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if the packing boxes are too small, then the vinyls will be sticking out of the containers and that should surely end badly for the precious LP records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 33-rpm LP has a diameter of either 10 or 12 inches. Therefore, as long as you can find boxes that are roughly 14\u2033 x 14\u2033 x 14\u2033 in size, your vinyl records should fit inside them just fine. You want your LPs to fit inside the box snugly, with enough room to add some padding (most often pieces of packing paper or bubble wrap) to immobilize your collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard medium moving box has the following dimensions: 18&#8243; x 18&#8243; x 16&#8243; (L x W x H), 3 cu\/ft, and will be just the right size to hold your vinyl records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get hold of several clean and sturdy moving boxes of the right size, prepare those boxes for your LP records:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Use <\/strong>good-quality packing tape to reinforce all the seams of the boxes, paying special attention to the bottom;<\/li><li><strong>Place <\/strong>a large sheet of bubble wrap on the inside bottom and the sides of each box to create a soft, shock-absorbent layer that will keep the records protected from vibrations on the road.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/types-of-moving-boxes\/\">Types of Moving Boxes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_pack_vinyl_records_for_moving\">How to pack vinyl records for moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can get to the point of packing your vinyl collection for moving, you should have completed the previous three tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Organize <\/strong>your vinyl record collection by cataloging the LPs, which in turn will help with unpacking and will let you keep track of each record during the move.<\/li><li><strong>Prepare <\/strong>your records for moving by removing each one from its original cardboard album cover and placing it inside a specialized poly inner sleeve for better protection.<\/li><li><strong>Ensure <\/strong>that the packing boxes you find have the proper dimensions to hold your LPs safely and are sturdy enough to eliminate the chance of breakage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the best way to pack vinyl records for moving?

It\u2019s not a good idea to pack LPs of different sizes into a single box for safety reasons. So, each box should contain records of the same dimensions only.<\/li><li><strong>Step 2<\/strong>. <strong>Start <\/strong>transferring the LPs into a box of the right size. Always place vinyl records upright, vertically next to their jackets. In other words, place a cardboard album cover into the box and then position the record, protected into a poly inner sleeve right next to it.<\/li><li><strong>Step 3<\/strong>. <strong>Remember <\/strong>that you should <strong>never<\/strong> pack records flat into a cardboard box. Why? The reason is pretty obvious: the weight of the records on the top is likely to become too much for the ones on the bottom, thus increasing the likelihood of physical damage such as warping, cracking, or breakage.<\/li><li><strong>Step 4<\/strong>. <strong>Keep <\/strong>arranging the vinyl records one by one. First, you place the LP, inside its poly sleeve, with the opening facing you so that it can\u2019t fall off during transit. And then, you position the cardboard album cover next to the record in an upright position.<\/li><li><strong>Step 5<\/strong>. <strong>Pack <\/strong>the vinyl records tight enough so that they don\u2019t get to lean against each other. On the other hand, you should not pack the LPs so tight that you won\u2019t be able to pull one out at all. Your goal should be to hit the right balance \u2013 your records should sit upright on their edges without being squeezed too hard by the rest of the LPs.<\/li><li><strong>Step 6<\/strong>. <strong>Fill up<\/strong> any empty spaces in the box with suitable padding materials when done arranging your records. Use pieces of bubble wrap or packing paper for the purpose. When ready, do the shake-up test \u2013 lift the box in the air and shake it gently \u2013 you should NOT feel anything shifting inside the container. If you do, add more padding materials to completely immobilize the vinyl records.<\/li><li><strong>Step 7<\/strong>. <strong>Be <\/strong>mindful that you should be able to fit around 70-80 single albums inside a medium cardboard box that\u2019s been pre-lined with bubble wrap before packing. Use this number as guidance only and never attempt to pack too many LP records inside a single moving box.<\/li><li><strong>Step 8<\/strong>. <strong>Position <\/strong>a sheet of bubble wrap on top of the neatly arranged records and their album covers. Using a sheet of foam instead of bubble wrap is also perfectly fine as long as you\u2019ve got foam sheets for the packing job.<\/li><li><strong>Step 9<\/strong>. <strong>Close up<\/strong> the flaps of the box and seal it shut using high-quality packing tape. Never use cardboard boxes that don\u2019t have flaps for some reason or another, usually partially damaged second-hand containers.<\/li><li><strong>Step 10<\/strong>. <strong>Use <\/strong>a black marker to label the LP moving box appropriately. Write down <strong>VINYL RECORDS<\/strong>, then <strong>FRAGILE<\/strong> and <strong>THIS SIDE UP<\/strong> on at least two sides of the carton. It\u2019s important to indicate which side of the box should face upward during transit.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/pack-fragile-items-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Fragile Items for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_move_your_vinyl_collection_to_a_new_home\">How to move your vinyl collection to a new home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyl-collection.jpg\" alt=\"The best way to move vinyl records\" class=\"wp-image-36554 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyl-collection.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/vinyl-collection-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Your priceless collection of vinyl records is coming with you.

In that case, follow these general moving tips to keep your records safe during the trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Position <\/strong>the box or boxes full of LPs on a flat surface and secure them so that the boxes cannot shift around during transit.<\/li><li><strong>Ensure <\/strong>that there are no large and heavy items inside that truck that can tip over and fall onto those boxes, ultimately crushing them as a result.<\/li><li><strong>Do not stack<\/strong> the boxes that contain your vinyl records.<\/li><li><strong>Do not place <\/strong>any other boxes on top of them for fear of damaging your LPs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that, whenever possible, you should move your prized collection of vinyl records by yourself.
