We make hardcover books for all kinds of media. These hardcover vinyl books are especially made to hold 12inch vinyl records and sometimes mixed media.

Materials for Hardcover Vinyl Books

Deluxe hardcover vinyl books are made with a rigid chipboard core and wrapped with a full color paper / lamination, or with linen or leather for a classic edition look.

  • Rigid chipboard core
  • Outside laminated 4C full color printed wrap
  • Linen wrapped vinyl books or leather wrapped vinyl books

These are beautiful coffee table books that showcase your vinyl record collection, and any other media you’d like in them. If you have multiple records in the book, we’ll recommend riveted construction for sturdiness.

Dimensions of Vinyl Books

Vinyl books are usually variations on the 12x12inch theme but we can make them in any size. They are custom made for your needs.

Media in Vinyl Books

Vinyl books can hold vinyl records in glued on sleeves or swinging sleeves, or a combination of both. You can also use a sleeve to hold a smaller item like a disc, download card, or a detached poster. Foam panel walls with custom cut wells are a great way to hold odd shaped items like usbs, or two discs.

  • Vinyl records
  • Discs (cd, dvd, bluray)
  • USB
  • Inner pages
  • Posters
  • Cards

Vinyl Book Slipcases

Adding a slipcase gives your set a very polished look. If you are choosing linen or leather wraps, or have dark print, the slipcase may bring a splash of color to the title.

  • Collapsible artcard slipcase (15/16pt 310gsm)
  • Rigid side loading slipcase (chipboard core)
