moving your LP collection

U-Haul's "small" box is perfect for moving lp's. And I second the above comments about not (if possible) stacking anything heavy on top of your boxed lps and keeping them vertical. Cleary mark your boxed lp's as such and remind your friends to take extra care when loading and unloading.

Make sure they are dry when you pack them and that they can "breath" if put in storage.
The term "moldy oldie" came from somewhere...

When boxing them, alternate every 10 Lp's or so in order that the spines are not all facing the same way. You'll get more in each box and they will fit with less "dead space". Oh yeah, and mark them by whatever method you divide your LP's.

A friend who's a mover said that the "small" U-Haul boxes were actually designed for 12" lp's

Hello

Recently I moved my collection, and I was surprised how easy it went along. My collection counts approximately 7000 records and was not looking forward to the task. However, I used plain plastic cases which took about 75 records, and believe it or not, suddenly my collection was at my new place! Good luck.
