I know Erika does, but I'd love to hear of an alternative. Anybody?

I agree - the cheapest rates will be with USPS, or Canada Post in my case. But the trade-off is you have to be really easy going with the timeframe. Go with a freight carrier like CEVA if you have a time requirement, but be prepared to spend more money. Also, if you're ever shipping record jackets, ...

Video looks good. Great find! Where did you dig up this machine if I may ask? Thanks! We found it at a factory in Woodbridge, Ontario. These guys were getting out of the print packaging business and hadn't used it in years. A machine broker we know connected the dots between us. After we got it, th...

When = now! We're finally done all our modifications and tinkering, with a result we're proud of. We're based in Toronto, and the jackets are available through me (Paul) at paul [@] samomedia [dot] com or 416.425.6631. We've set up two tiers for pricing: wholesale (so we can start relationships with...

Hey guys - just letting you all know we've opened up a factory producing full colour printed (and blank) 12" record jackets. Our facility is in Toronto. Since there's not many of us out there, I thought it might be a good idea to let you know of our existence. Here's a video of our fabricating machi...

I'm still here! I'm not exactly a regular, but not a lurker either. I'm a regulurker.

Thanks everybody,

Aussie0zborn: where on the record collectors guild site is this discussed? In the forum, or somewhere else? If it's the forum, which sub-forum is it? I'd like to find it and read up on this.

Thanks,

I'm considering buying a shrink wrap tunnel - are there any concerns with record warpage when applying this kind of heat? I suppose it comes down to the temperature and duration. What do you guys think?

American - why do you ask?

Great - thanks for the in depth answer!

Is this generally the result of too little cooling time?

I thought something was fishy. Thanks very much mossboss!

Hi all,

I'm told that a press needs to be reconfigured in order to press a no-label record. Is that true? And if so, is there an easy explanation as to how that's done?

thanks

Does anyone know the best place in the States or Canada to get this done?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for the responses everybody, I really appreciate all the input. I'm still quite perplexed about this though, and it's happened to me a couple times over the years. Mossboss, would you mind clarifying the following sentence? Wasn't sure if I understood: "However with a fair rise in tempe...

Hey all, I ship a skid of records from the States to Canada every week (on a tightly stretch wrapped pallet with the boxes stacked vertically). I didn't have this problem last summer as it was cooler, but today the worst happened: 2 skids of records arrived that were warped by the heat. What a horro...
