Above, please select the correct option for which custom jacket you would like: a Single Jacket or a Gatefold Jacket. All dimensions and specs are included in the uploader above, and also listed below.
Custom jackets are the perfect complement to your custom vinyl records, or to enhance your already existing vinyl record collection!
Single Custom Record Jacket
A single custom record jacket is designed to hold one record, with customized front and back artwork available.
The front jacket 'wraps' around the spine to ensure a high-quality, consistent design.
Custom Gatefold Jacket
A gatefold jacket can hold up to two records in its sleeves. The gatefold jacket includes front, back, and a rectangular inner sleeve.
Artwork Specs / Dimensions
Single Custom Record Jacket
- Our jackets print at roughly 12 3/8" square.
- Front Jacket: The front jacket design will wrap around the spine in addition to covering the front jacket. As a result, we recommend keeping any important text or graphics at least 1/4" off of the edge of your design (red dotted lines in the upload tool above designate this area)
- Back Jacket: The back jacket will not be impacted by bleed / wrapping
Custom Gatefold Jacket
- Our jackets print at roughly 12 3/8" height and 26 1/4" long
- Front Jacket: The front jacket design will wrap around the spine in addition to covering the front jacket. The specs are therefore 12 3/8" tall by 12 3/4" wide
- Back Jacket: The back jacket will not be impacted by bleed / wrapping
- Inner Jacket: The inner jacket is slightly longer than a 2x1 rectangle, at 12 3/8" tall and 26 1/4" long
Printing on the Spine
As you build your custom vinyl covers, we do not recommend designing any text or graphics specifically for the spine, as the custom jacket production process is just imprecise enough that we are not able to guarantee precise placement.
Please see below for some important notes about your custom vinyl record covers:
- Orders ship 1-3 weeks after the jacket is purchased and finalized
- Custom vinyl records and custom vinyl record jackets ship FREE in the US!
- In a rush? Select "Front of the Line" service at checkout and jacket record will be asap - within 4 business days at latest
- The inner gatefold spine may slightly distort your inner jacket image. We recommend keeping small details (e.g. a face) off the exact center of your inner jacket image -- even a slight move to the left or right will help ensure satisfaction with your design!
- These jackets are designed for 12" records. Need a jacket in a 10" or 7" size? Reach out to us via the Contact Us page (links above and below)!
