Hi All,

Years ago, when I ripped all of my CD's I put them into three ring binders and forgot about them. I'm starting to spin them again. What I'm looking for is a plastic archival envelope that will hold a CD AND the booklet and then maybe a cardboard or plastic box to hold them. Probably have about 600 or so to do. Any ideas who makes something like that? Thanks,
Kevin

I don't understand why any "CD collector" (me) would remove their CDs from their original case and put them in a 3-ring binder. That's just begging for damaged / lost CDs. And especially if you have hundreds of CDs.

With that, no, I don't have any ideas as I don't/wouldn't use them.

As @sygnus21 already suggested, that is a recipe for damaged CDs.

I actually do the opposite of what you are suggesting; when I receive a CD in a cardboard digi-sleeve, I transfer it to a jewel-case, and store the jewel-case with the CD and the empty cardboard digi-sleeve side-by-side.

For those paper mini LP / paper sleeved CDs I use these plastic protective cover sleeves.

For the bigger digi packed ones, or normal CD cases there's these: CD Jewel Case Sleeves, 6 1/8 x 5 1/8 Inches. They're bigger than the ones above.
