marc32137 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I wasn't happy with the flimsiness of the NUFAN jacket, either. Thought I was gonna damage it just by trying to take off the shrink wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Those jackets and vinyl were all produced at GZ in the Czech Republic (the plant Pirates Press uses.) They usually produce pretty flimsy jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats on Fat for ordering a flimsier cardstock, we use GZ/Pirates Press for all our releases (Pure Noise) and never have issues w/ flimsiness but we order 3mm jackets on everything.

Very true. I should have clarified that they don't order the upgraded jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trolley Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'd gladly pay $1 more per record to have upgraded sleeves. I can't imagine it even costs that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Plus higher cost to get them shipped stateside, more bulk volume (it does add up), and higher shipping costs for end user. In the end it's not just a $1 difference. That said, I noticed it first on my MFATGG record as well and the jacket is absolutely abysmal. Might be the worst one I won.

trolley Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 All valid points, but as IanRees points out Pure Noise does it so it can't be too cost-prohibitive. Personally I'm not that bothered by the sleeves as they are anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else feel that Fat has been using a shitty, flimsy stock for their sleeves as of late? I think the first one I really noticed it with was the MFATGG... they not only feel flimsy AF to the touch, but also come in beat to shit even when it doesn't appear the mailman has Ace Ventura'd my package. I hate to talk shit on Fat, but I just have always considered them to be one of the better labels that puts actual effort and care into their product. The past few releases (I'm looking at you, F2F "box" set) have really been lackluster at best. Noticed this also. Thought it had gotten wet in the mail or something. Glad it wasn't just me.
