Relax, look, listen:
iba vinyl covers catch every eye in the record rack

There have been many different vinyl covers since the invention of the record. The iba Smartsleeve, however, is different. Listen to your favorite records and admire our vinyl covers, designed to stand out. If you take a closer look, you will see that they are much thicker and more durable than standard covers. #

Our iba Smartsleeve (also called Tip-On Cover) and our Mediabook® Vinyl-Size (special hardcover variant) are based on printed sheets of paper. After the individual finishing (varnish or foil), they are laminated around the cardboard core. In addition to numerous design options, our vinyl covers are made to impress with their high stability and quality. Our fully automated production ensures consistent quality, and we manufacture the Smartsleeve in both single and gatefold covers.

With the gatefold variant, a firmly glued-in booklet is also possible – a real iba original!

We manufacture limited series with hot-foil embossed numbering, and our box sets for records are ideal for collectors.

We would be happy to send you a vinyl cover sample. Feel free to experience the high quality of our record packaging!

    Advantages of the iba hartmann LOGO:

    The processing: “Made in Augsburg, Germany.”

    Our printed iba vinyl covers are not like the others – because we are specialists in custom production. We know that every detail matters, which is why our customers deliberately choose our individually printed IBA vinyl covers. They serve as the business cards of many producers, artists, and labels. Everything has to be perfect: print quality, alignment, dimensions, materials, finishing, and every extra feature.

    QUALITY is very important to us. And not just since 1996, when we certified ourselves for ISO 9001 for the first time. Certification to ISO 14001 took place in 2021, and FSC has of course also been an important topic for us for many years.

    At iba, our employees deliver the highest quality—because experience and a trained eye remain the most reliable form of quality control. While
    globalization has its benefits, we believe home is better. Our in-house production offers clear advantages: short communication paths, dependable information, and transparent processes.

    Every possibility: printing, embossing, finishes, extras.

    You can order your printed iba vinyl cover from iba hartmann LOGO in a relaxed manner, knowing you are in good hands here: With us, the vinyl covers become a strong eye-catcher – a visual and haptic experience. We know all the extras. We love the details.

    Printing: Our offset printing is the best guarantee for a perfect print result. All special colors are also possible in offset printing. We optionally offer numbering or serialization, for a particularly high-quality result even by means of hot foil stamping.

    Embossing: Hot foil or blind embossing always looks pretty stylish and classy!

    Surface: Our print finishing made of PP film protects the print. The matt finish has a noble effect, a glossy structured surface is robust, a “soft touch” PP film needs to be touched.

    Extras: Turn a simple product into an individual medium: Not only through the print and the material, but also through the details: Different cardboard grammages and surface designs draw the attention of customers and employees to the essential aspects of your iba vinyl covers.

    Personal, competent and long-term.

    Tired of waiting on hold, only to be connected to a new contact person every time?

    We do things differently. At IBA, our service is built on experienced, long-standing employees who truly know their field. We value lasting customer relationships, which means there’s a good chance you’ll be supported by the same contact person for months or even years. And if not—we’ll come to you. With our nationwide sales team on the road, we make it easy to get to know each other. And that’s the way it should be.

    Questions & Answers:

    Are vinyl covers really protective enough?

    Your record is protected by the paper inner sleeve embedded in the vinyl cover. Special protection is also guaranteed by the high grammage of our cardboard cores. We offer various material options and will work with you to find the optimal solution.

    What materials do you use to make vinyl covers?

    The vinyl covers consist of a solid cardboard core with grammages of 350-600g, covered with the refined printed sheets. For example, we use Kraftpack cardboard for old school covers. White cardboard with a smooth or rough inside is often used for modern vinyl covers. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We tailor your vinyl cover to your wishes and musical style—and help you find the perfect design.

    Do you produce different formats?

    Yes, we produce vinyl covers in the common record formats: for singles, EPs and LPs. You can use our vinyl cover packaging for all 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch records.

    What kinds of finishing options do you offer?

    As with all other iba products, you can choose from the full range of bookbinding options: matt or glossy, from simple to highly refined papers. Feel free to give us a call. Together we will find the right finishing variant for your perfect vinyl cover.

    What makes the features of the iba vinyl covers so special?

    Our iba Smartsleeve vinyl covers are much more stable and durable than standard covers. We combine paper and cardboard so that your vinyl cover looks significantly more valuable than the well-known standard LP covers.

    Is there a minimum purchase amount?

    We have a minimum purchase quantity of 500 pieces for our vinyl covers.
