Alston Durable Aluminium DJ Record Storage Lockable Flight Case-Holds 100 Albums Hard Carry Case 12 inch Vinyl LP Box Tough Heavy Duty Black

Frequently Asked Questions

How many vinyl records will this DJ flight case actually hold?

This Alston aluminium flight case has a capacity of up to 100 x 12-inch vinyl records. The interior dimensions are 340mm x 340mm x 340mm, which provides ample space for standard LP albums. Keep in mind that the actual number you can fit may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your record sleeves and how tightly you pack them.

Is this flight case suitable for touring DJs in Australia?

Yes, absolutely. This case is specifically designed for DJ use and is perfect for Australian DJs who gig regularly. It features a lightweight aluminium construction with a reinforced aluminium frame, dual lockable latches for security, and a quality carry handle on top. The hard-shell design with foam-lined interior provides shock-resistant protection during transport between venues, making it ideal for touring both domestically and internationally.

How much does the case weigh and will it fit in my car?

The flight case weighs 3.5 kg (relatively lightweight for its size), making it easy to carry despite holding 100 records. The outside dimensions are 355mm x 355mm x 390mm, so it's quite compact. These dimensions mean it will easily fit in the boot of any standard Australian car, hatchback, or van, making it convenient for transporting to gigs or moving between locations.

What's the difference between this and a regular cardboard record storage box?

This Alston case offers significantly better protection than cardboard boxes. It features hard-shell panels with a 5mm material thickness and aluminium edging, plus an interior foam lining that protects your records from scuffs, scratches, and damage during transport. The dual lockable latches provide security for your collection, and the foam cushioning absorbs shock far better than cardboard. It's a proper flight case built for professional use, whereas cardboard boxes are only suitable for static storage.

Can I return this if it doesn't meet my needs?

Yes, Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, so you have a full month to assess whether this case meets your storage or transport needs. If you're not completely satisfied, you can return it within that timeframe. Plus, Yarra Supply provides Australia-wide free shipping, so there's no extra cost to get it delivered to your door regardless of where you are in Australia.

Will my vinyl records be safe from moisture and dust in this case?

The hard-shell construction with foam lining provides excellent protection against physical damage, and the lockable latches keep the case sealed when closed. However, this case isn't specifically waterproof, so while it offers good dust protection for storage at home or in a vehicle, we wouldn't recommend leaving it exposed to heavy rain or moisture for extended periods. For long-term storage in humid environments, consider storing it in a dry location and periodically checking for any moisture inside.

Is the aluminium frame durable enough for heavy use?

Yes, this case is built tough. The reinforced aluminium frame with hard-shell panels and 5mm material thickness is designed to withstand heavy professional use. The aluminium edges protect the corners where damage is most likely, and the overall construction ensures long-lasting durability. It's a proper flight case that will handle regular gigs, transport, and storage without issues, making it a solid investment for serious collectors or touring DJs.
