Does anyone know of a reliable source or two that carries *thick* plastic sleeves, like the ones Universal uses for all of their SHM-SACD releases? It seems all the ones I've found are the very thin, easily-torn type. The ones I'm looking to find are similar in weight to LP-sized plastic outer sleeves, similar in feel to thin vinyl.

Sincerest thanks to all who have ideas!

These are typical Japanese products. You might check out cdjapan. Nagaoka is a quality brand. They come in differnt sizes. I don't know if they are thick plastic, probably not. Copying the catalog no., you might find more info on internet.

You can try the links below.
I've used the ones from the first link, but not the second. The second link has 4 mil sleeves and are a bit more dear than the soundsource ones so might be quite good.

What an amazing deal, Ad Rhenum. Just paid $15 for 50 from E~bay (also mfg. in Japan).

Will have to order some when I place my next SHM~SACD order from CDJapan!

Many Thanks.
