Store records upright and never packed so tightly that you have to force them out. Leave a little space for easy browsing.

How this calculator works

A single LP in a sleeve takes roughly 3-4 mm of shelf space, a gatefold or double about 7 mm. A standard 13 inch cube shelf holds about 80-100 records, so we plan on 80 per cube to leave browsing room.
