TwisterBox is a novel non-glued vinyl record shipping box, designed to be folded easily in seconds for double-layer/corner crush-proof buffer protection, and which is also adaptable to both single and multiple item shipments without the need for flats or other empty space fillers.
Explore Twister Box
The novel design of the TwisterBox is engineered from heavy duty cardboard for extra protection on all sides and corners, providing double layer rigidity alongside impact crush zones where they matter most. The TwisterBox mailer is fully adaptable for a multitude of shipment sizes, from 1 LP on up.
All TwisterBox mailers are made from a minimum of 50% post consumer/recycled material, and are produced in one of our three regional facilities (Portland, OR, Detroit, MI, Tucson, AZ) to both reduce the shipping cost to you and carbon footprint of transport.
Tips on using TwisterBox
Unlike other record mailers Twisterbox do not require flats to fill dead space in the mailer, as the inner pocket flaps can be folded to whatever size of shipment is enclosed. For added protection a small piece of box tape across the inner flaps further prevents the record(s) from moving around.
As we all well know, record boxes get thrown around in the shuffle from you to your buyer. Although TwisterBox protects against damage from all sides due to this, the sudden “stop” of an item moving under velocity will always have some impact on the contents. To further protect against this, one tip is to ship your records outside their jackets (When possible) and to use two attached sheets of 12/12″ bubble wrap placed under the record(s) with the flaps of excess bubble wrap folded around the contents like a taco when you close the inner flaps.
How to Fold the TwisterBox
Step One
Hold TwisterBox (or lay on table) with the printed side down.
Step Two
Grasp the left side of the flat TwisterBox and begin folding the panel horizontally toward the center to where the left panel creates a horizontal “cross” of sorts.
Step Three
Set record(s) on center of horizontally folded panel and fold in panel pieces that extend beyond the width of a record at the height of the amount of records you are shipping. Should you desire to keep the inner pocket firm around the records a small piece of tape will keep these panels in place.
Step Four
Fold vertical outer panels over the inner pocket and hold these panels in place while applying a strip of tape across the seam where those two panels meet (and perhaps across the upper section of the outside for extra reinforcement should the shipment be particularly heavy). This will complete the TwisterBox shipment and make it ready for its journey!
