Vinyl Record Jacket Dimensions

The full outer jacket for a 12-inch record — front and back panels printed as one flat sheet, folded and glued at the edges. Large enough that it needs a print shop rather than a home printer.

Printing

Recommended paper
Matte cardstock, 300 gsm

Folds cleanly and holds its shape around a case. Sometimes sold as 12pt or 100lb cover, but searching by gsm is more reliable. Lighter stock folds more easily but feels flimsier; score the fold lines first so 300 gsm does not crack.

Fits on
Larger than standard home-printer paper

Print at a copy shop, or use the tiled multi-sheet export.

Scaling
Print at 100%

“Fit to page” and “shrink to fit” resize the artwork, so the finished piece will not match these measurements.
