mss614 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Which would be better for storing my ever-growing 7" collection? or The first is sturdier, but doesn't fit that damned Smashing Pumpkins box. Also, it doesn't have as much room for more records. The second definitely has more space...but it's a shoe box. (Side note: I don't even own a pair of Nike shoes. I just found the box in my house.)

thesupervillain Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The most space-efficient way to stack ALL records, not just 7" is to lay them on top of each other. Your LP's will only take up 12" of space, and if you have decent sized ceilings (7 - 9 feet), you can fit a ton of records before you need to upgrade to a new space on the floor.

No, that's the most efficient way to warp your discs and get on Hoarders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 ^ I personally can't stand boxes that rise an inch or two over the top of the 7"s - makes it hard to dig through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 http://www.bagsunlimited.com/p-3944-45-record-storage-box-corrugated-cardboard.aspx I have all my 7"s in these. I like them a lot and I like that they have lids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
