VCI Anti-corrosion Sleeves for Musical Box Discs
By Paul Mellor

Hello again MMD-ers,  I've been asked by a couple of people now about
the possibility of doing these same anti-rust, long-term disc storage
sleeves for other sizes of discs (in the first instance, you'll see
from the earlier thread that I was planning on only doing them for
19-5/8" discs).  You'll know that the current cost has come down to
£12 per (19-5/8") sleeve plus postage.  And that if more people want
to order, great; this will then reduce the cost per sleeve further.

I know from previous discussions with the sleeve manufacturers that,
each time they run a particular size of sleeve cut-out and print,
they charge a fixed fee for that pattern size and the set-up time.
The cost per item is then added on.  Most of the companies that I have
spoken to are used to running 1000's or even 100,000's of box runs,
so this is very much a "hobby project" that I have cajoled different
people into.

In order to negotiate the cost of varying sleeve sizes with them,
I need some reasonable level of commitment from you, please.  I would
work on a guesstimate of £12 per sleeve, but then if we get several
hundred sleeves together, I know that the costs are very likely to
meaningfully come down for everyone.  So if you are interested, please
let me know your disc type, size and number of sleeves required.

I wish to place an order shortly (in the next fortnight), so please
email me at paul.mellor@psvets.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to
reply].

Best regards,

Paul Mellor
Kent, Great Britain
