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.
