lettheloveage Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Does anyone know a place to get relatively cheap crates to store vinyl in? Finding large enough milk crates these days is near impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 i actually use these folding crates that Staples sells. they're like 25 bucks. they have wheels and a handle and they fold up into a neat compact briefcase looking thing. they hold about 50 LPs.

xfedaykinx Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 i used to get larger milk crate style containers from the Container Store. they were ten bucks a pop, but they were for the most part made specifically for vinyl records, said so on the label. its been a good six months since ive had to buy one so hopefully they still carry them.

kirbs84 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hobby Lobby usually has some nicer looking wooden crates at pretty good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scriptedrain Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 My girlfriend and I use those exact same black crates from Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I bought some of those crates but I'm not sure I like the way records fit in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettheloveage Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I found some crates today that fit my 7"s perfectly while driving around looking, but no luck in anything for my 12"s. Steventangent, why don't you like the way they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 There's a gap on the side I'm not terribly comfortable with. If the crates just sat in the same place all the time it'd be fine, but I occasionally have to move mine around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 www.bagsunlimited.com the plastic lp boxes are wonderful. they're the right size, and they stack nicely. not to mention are waterproof on the onset chance you ever get water in the room where they are.

I just ordered a bunch of them..... My kids have taken over the room where I used store my records. They were cheap enough and seemed like the best solution for me.

skumbucket Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 i am so beyond broke right now, but i desperately need some of these boxes. i've got a standard milk crate, so i can only fit about half of my lp's inside on an angle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Are milk crates bad for your records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 i worry about when they bulge either out or down and my records arent perfectly straight up. i also make sure to sand the inside to make sure the sleeves arent going to get roughed up in the crate.

Guest Admin Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The Ikea wood boxes are rad and they actually have a note in their store that says , "holds 60 LPs"; I thought that was incredible that they actually considered it notable to say that. They are 9.99 and look really sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
