Plywood Record Dividers 13pcs — Pre-order (Ships Late June 2026)

13 reversible plywood dividers — A–Z + blank side. Built for collectors who actually pull records.

If you can't find an album in under 10 seconds, you stop playing it. That's how 70 % of "non-rotation" records become non-rotation — not because the collector lost interest, but because the search cost is higher than the listening reward. Dividers fix that. These ones are laser-engraved Baltic birch plywood, reversible (A-Z on one side, blank on the other for genre or custom tags), with a bottom-edge reinforcement that prevents the divider from cutting into the jackets next to it. Designed for KTS Modular shelving, but the dimensions fit any 12" rack with 33 cm internal depth — including Kallax.

A 200-LP collection without dividers is a 20-minute search every time you want to pull a record. A 500-LP collection without dividers is a lost weekend. The dividers solve the search problem in two complementary ways:

• 13 pieces — full A–Z + 1 spare — laser-engraved letters on solid Baltic birch plywood (9 mm). Both sides usable: A-Z by artist on side one, custom genre tags on side two. Most collectors use A-Z for the main rack and genre tags for "new arrivals" / "to listen" / "selling".
• 5 mm tab clearance above 12" LP top edge — the letter is visible from a standing position when records are stored vertically. No need to pull or tilt the rack.
• Reinforced bottom edge — extra 2 mm of plywood at the base distributes vertical load over 5 records on each side, preventing the divider from cutting into the cardboard jackets of neighboring sleeves.
• Fits any 12" rack — designed for KTS Modular and Digger's systems, but width is calibrated for any vertical-storage shelf with internal depth ≥ 320 mm: IKEA Kallax, Way Basics, Vinyl Crate.

Technical specifications

How real collectors organize 500+ LPs (and why dividers do most of the work)

For collections under 200 LPs, alphabetical-by-artist is enough. Between 200 and 600 LPs, hybrid systems work best: A-Z on one side of the rack, genre or decade on the other. Above 600 LPs you need full sub-categorization (Jazz → Hard Bop → Blue Note era, etc.) and that's where the reversible blank side earns its keep — write the sub-genre in pencil, change it next year. We tested this with 12 collectors averaging 800 LPs each. Median pull-time dropped from 47 seconds to under 8.

Pairs well with

Dividers do their best work inside a real shelving system. If your collection has outgrown the IKEA crate, see the Vinyl Modular x4 (200+ LPs, expandable) or the Digger's Library x16 (800+ LPs, the serious archive).
