best way to store vinyl?

Ok, so what is the best way to store vinyl without it getting warped or damaged,,,, now I heard you should keep it vertical, any products anyone uses, storage equipment etc?

cheers

I store mine in file crates, like so...

I've always lived by the vertical rule, and have never had any problems with warpage as the result of storage. I do have vinyls that I received already warped, but that's a different story that I'm positive that everyone can relate to

I'd love to get one of those shelving units from IKEA where it has like 16 different square units (4x4) built into one big shelf...with enough of them you could literally create a wall o' vinyl.

is doesn't really matter much how you store it, as long as the vinyls are places vertical. NEVER place them horizontical.
Ideal tempratures are between 15 and 25 �C and a humidity of 45%

my sister tries to store mine, flat, laying down, as im at uni,i cant get her, until i get home. Although my parents usually correct the matter and store them the right way up.

Vertically.

If you want wrapped records, store them flat...
If you want to see your needle jump up and down, store them flat...

otherwise, store them verticaly
