A record protector is an item used to protect records from dust, dirt, and other environmental factors. The most common record protectors are a SLEEVE, dustjacket, and albumsleeve. A SLEEVE is a thin plastic or paper cover that fits over the record and protects it from dust and dirt. A dustjacket is a thicker paper cover that fits over the record and provides additional protection from dust and dirt. An albumsleeve is a larger plastic or paper cover that fits over the entire album and provides extra protection from dust and dirt. All of these items help to keep records in good condition and preserve their sound quality.
