It was all the way back in 2015 that my dad bought me my very first record for Christmas.

Or to be more exact, my very first box of records, and when I say box, I really mean ‘DJ case so heavy I could barely carry it’.

That was it.

The artwork, the sound, the feeling of discovery as I picked my way through that box made me fall in love with vinyl. Atlas Records was born and 200,000 records later, that very same case still sits in the office and that very same feeling still drives me.

Only it’s not just me anymore. We have a team of passionate staff ensuring everything runs smoothly, but that love for vinyl still runs through everything we do here.

It’s this team that scours the country looking for the best music to bring to our shelves, handling each one with care on its every step towards its new home.

That’s our story, but whether it’s last kisses or first dances, every record also has a story to tell, and we’re determined to help tell it.

For such a delicate cargo, only the best and most sturdy packaging will do, which is why we've scoured the country searching for the perfect selection of packaging materials that can do just that. Every. Single. Time.

More than that though, we accept the impact that businesses can have on the world and the change they can help drive by choosing responsibly. Those two criteria were in mind when picking out the right range of packaging to safely, and responsibly, bring you the music you love.

That's why we love each and every element of packaging that we use to deliver your items, and we hope you do too...

All records are sent in our super-strong, market-leading mailers which are made with card from responsible sources. Their easy-open tear strips make unwrapping simple, so there's no need to risk damaging your record as you fight your way into the envelope. On top of that, records fit snugly, minimising the danger of scuffed corners, and the unparalleled strength ensures that they days of opening up a record damaged thanks to carelessness in the postal system are well and truly over.

The best bit?

They're guaranteed to be 100% recyclable and forest friendly. Good for the environment. Great for you.
