Why dividers

Organisation is half the hobby.

A collection you can't search is a collection you don't play. Dividers cost a fraction of a single record and turn ten minutes of flicking into a three-second find — which is exactly why every serious crate has them.

Four systems

Four ways to order the crate.

A

Alphabetical (A–Z)

The classic. Fast for anyone, easy to maintain, and the only system a guest can use without asking. A–Z dividers do most of the work.

By genre

Jazz, soul, electronic, rock. Great if you reach for a mood rather than an artist — and it makes the collection read like a record shop.

By decade

Sort the era, then alphabetise within it. Perfect for collectors who think in periods and love a chronological dig.

By play frequency

Heavy rotation up front, deep cuts behind. The fastest system for daily listeners who reach for the same fifty records.

A wall of spines, finally navigable.

Add dividers once and the collection organises itself from then on — every new record has an obvious home, and nothing goes missing in the stack.

What you need

Dividers, and somewhere to put them.

A set of dividers and solid-wood storage that holds them upright. Start small or organise the whole wall — all shipped worldwide from Madrid.

Frequently asked

Dividers, answered.

For A–Z, a set of around 13 tabs covers most collections (some letters share a card, like Q/R or X/Y/Z). Large or genre-split collections may want two or three sets — dividers are cheap, so err on the generous side.

A–Z is the most universal and the easiest to maintain. Sort by genre if you reach for a mood more than a name, or by decade if you think in eras. There's no wrong answer — pick the one you'll actually keep up.

DIY card works, but it bends and creases with use. Rigid plywood or board dividers stand up on their own, slide cleanly between sleeves and last as long as the collection — worth the small spend.

Acid-free rigid board or thin plywood. Avoid flimsy card that warps, and anything with rough edges that can catch a sleeve. Smooth, firm and acid-free is the standard.

Sort it once. Enjoy it forever.
