No.1 Record Sleeves was founded by Andy Hudson, Managing Director of the Maximise Group, which has supplied niche printed packaging to the creative industries for decades.
From tester blotter strips for the global fragrance industry to specialist promotional materials, Maximise has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and creative problem-solving.
No.1 Record Sleeves grew naturally out of this experience — and out of Andy’s personal love affair with vinyl. A dedicated collector and DJ, Andy has been immersed in music since his youth in York, UK, where he co-founded and performed at the legendary SweatBox club nights under his DJ name Rocky.
With a deep passion for funk, soul, and house music, and a record collection to match, he understands first-hand how much vinyl means to the people who make it, sell it, and treasure.
That’s why No.1 Record Sleeves is more than just a packaging supplier. It’s a company built by people who value vinyl not only as a product, but as a culture. Every sleeve we produce — whether a simple white cover, a custom-branded run, or a fully bespoke design — is backed by decades of print expertise and a genuine commitment to protecting and presenting music at its best.
Manufactured in the UK, competitively priced, and always straightforward to order, our sleeves are made for everyone who believes (as we do) that what’s on the outside matters almost as much as what’s on the record.
