Disc-o-Files

Disc-O-File record sleeves are made from 147 lb. brown kraft card stock, so they will not tear or wrinkle when handled. Seams are on the inside to keep sleeves from catching on each other when a record is placed back on the shelf, and a shallow thumb tab is cut to one side of the center line to aid in opening the sleeve with the edge of the disc. This ensures a continuous straight edge across the top of the sleeve, keeping the top edge of the record hidden and protected. Sleeves are printed on one side only with a box in the upper right-hand corner to allow the user to record pertinent information. They are designed so that over-sized records such as Edison Diamond Discs, 12" acoustic Columbias and 16" shellac soundtrack discs will fit comfortably. These are, quite simply, the nicest sleeves on the market today.

Disc-O-Files are used by hundreds of collectors, institutions and archives worldwide including the

Belfer Audio Archive, the Library of Congress, the Ward Irish Music Archives, the BBC Broadcast Archive, the National Library of Canada, Harvard University, the International Piano Archives, the National Library of New Zealand, the First Generation Radio Archives, the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, Pennsylvania State University, and the Yale University Music Library.

Click 10" Box or 16" Box to see close-ups of the printed data entry boxes for these sizes. Note that the spaces on the 10" box are duplicated on all sleeve sizes from 5 5/8" to 14 1/4", though the layout may be different due to the size of the sleeve and hole. The 16" box is specially designed to handle information particular to radio transcriptions and soundtrack discs.
