Record sleeves and bags

Can any of you tell me a good place to pick up odd sized record sleeves and bags?

Specifically, I need some for a 5" record.

You should ask them for samples. a 5" record might not fit a 5"x5" bag, if the 5" is the actual outer dimension.

^ Thank you!

Anybody have a line on paper sleeves for a 5"? I'm thinking they don't exist and I'll probably have to make my own.

While i'm on the subject of sleeves, I'm also looking for places to buy 7, 10 and 12" sleeves that are colored. Not having much luck finding anything other than white.

Is Bags Unlimited in the USA still around? They were the major source for inner bags, poly sleeves, etc.

As for your 5" record surely the plant that pressed them has some? Enevelope manufacturers can custom-make these for you. Otherwise you can print a 5" x10" sheet, fold it and slip it into a 5" plastic sleeve that you would have to have custom made. I always found plastic sleeves were cheaper to make than paper sleeves as the paper sleeve manufacturers wanted a minimum order of 100,000 pieces to be cost effective. The plastic bag makers would make 1,000 units quite happily.
