Vinyl- moving house

[rmcin626]

We are moving house shortly, and have ordered a couple different sizes of boxes , not of which are suitable, one too big the other too small.

Has anyone moved recently and has a recommendation for suitable boxes, I have around 1000 albums to box up.

Many thanks
Robin

Really Useful Box Company 35l XL. Each one takes 100 albums. Not cheap but can be used afterwards. I had over 1000 lps in storage for two decades using these exact boxes. With a bag of silica gel in each box they were in pristine condition after storage.

See if you can get hold some plastic milk crates and remove the partitions. You ought to be able to put 60 - 70 LPs in each, depending on vinyl weight and thickness of the cover and outer protective sleeve.

Good luck - I wish you all success in the move.

Thanks Barry, will see if I can source any, but I think the moving firm prefer boxes.

If you look for 'book boxes' they usually suit vinyl, best to fill them as voids means they might crumple. Not too big or small, tape them shut!!

Juno Records is always a good bet

I bought similar boxes when I had a couple of thousand LPs to move to Italy. Very sturdy.

They would be good but not in stock currently.

Not sure i would trust something as valuable and irreplaceable as LP records to the movers. Might be better to transport them yourself. Unless you're moving overseas.
