Avoid cheap inner sleeves as they wear easily and may not provide adequate protection for your disc. Cheap outer sleeves, like those made from polypropylene, will generally not affect the quality of protection, though they may discolor over time.

For large collections, invest in blank or pre-labeled record dividers to make things easier to sort and navigate.

To prevent dust exposure, store your records with the open edge facing in.

If your records are exposed to extreme cold, slowly increase the temperature over a period of many hours. Moving suddenly from cold to hot may cause unwanted condensation, ruining the album cover.
